  • Elizabeth Cady Stanton Early Life Born Elizabeth Cady 1815-1902 7Th
    Elizabeth Cady Stanton Early Life Born Elizabeth Cady 1815-1902 7th child born to Judge Daniel Cady and Margaret Livingston in Johnstown, NY Elizabeth’s mother was 16 when she married Daniel Cady. She was 12 years younger and several inches taller than he was. She was also a formidable, strong woman. Daniel Cady had “married up.” He came to his position because of his wife’s family’s wealth. He became a lawyer and then a judge. He was a strict Presbyterian who worried about his salvation. The couple had a total of 11 children, 5 boys and 6 girls. Six died before adulthood, and no more than 6 were alive at one time. In 1814 two of their sons died. Of Cady’s five sons, four died in childhood. One survived to adulthood, graduated from college, then died after a short illness at age 20. Daniel Cady was devastated. From In Her Own Right: The Life of Elizabeth Cady Stanton by Elisabeth Griffith: “Only Eleazar reached manhood. As Elizabeth recalled, her brother was ‘a fine manly fellow, the very apple of my father’s eye.’ He graduated from Union College in 1826. A few weeks later, after a short illness, he died. He was twenty years old. The whole family was stunned. Judge Cady, who had been away from home, returned to find Eleazar dead. Heartbroken at the loss of his last son, the grief-stricken father kept an uninterrupted vigil by the casket. After the funeral he made daily, tearful visits to the grave. ‘It was easily seen,’ Elizabeth wrote later, ‘that while my father was kind to us all, the one son filled a larger place in his affections and future plans than the five daughters together.’ Not yet eleven years old when her only brother died, Elizabeth remembered the event vividly.

  • The Women's Suffrage Movement
    Name _________________________________________ Date __________________ The Women’s Suffrage Movement Part 1 The Women’s Suffrage Movement began with the Seneca Falls Convention of 1848. The idea for the Convention came from two women: Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott. Both were concerned about women’s issues of the time, specifically the fact that women did not have the right to vote. Stanton felt that this was unfair. She insisted that women needed the power to make laws, in order to secure other rights that were important to women. The Convention was designed around a document that Stanton wrote, called the “Declaration of Sentiments”. Using the Declaration of Independence as her guide, she listed eighteen usurpations, or misuses of power, on the part of men, against women. Stanton also wrote eleven resolutions, or opinions, put forth to be voted on by the attendees of the Convention. About three hundred people came to the Convention, including forty men. All of the resolutions were eventually passed, including the 9th one, which called for women’s suffrage, or the right for women to vote. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott signed the Seneca Falls Declaration and started the Suffrage Movement that would last until 1920, when women were finally granted the right to vote by the 19th Amendment to the Constitution. 1.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles A Family Affair: The Marriage of Elizabeth Cady and Henry Brewster Stanton and the Development of Reform Politics A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Linda Christine Frank 2012 © Copyright by Linda Christine Frank 2012 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION A Family Affair: The Marriage of Elizabeth Cady and Henry Brewster Stanton and the Development of Reform Politics by Linda Christine Frank Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2012 Professor Ellen C. DuBois, Chair Although devoted to insuring universal freedom and human rights for more than 60 years, Henry B. Stanton’s historical legacy and his many contributions to antebellum reform have been obscured and even vilified in the shadows of his famous wife, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and his oftentimes tactical opponent within abolition circles, William Lloyd Garrison. Frequently portrayed as the antagonist in his wife’s struggle for women’s rights, as a husband and a father Henry Stanton has become synonymous in the historical discourse with the very oppression his wife devoted her life to ending. Because of this, Elizabeth’s reformism is frequently depicted as having emerged from an imagined unhappy domestic life, rather than from an awareness of social and political inequalities. Elizabeth’s feminism is thus all too frequently explicitly or implicitly viewed as first a private and then a public rebellion. ii Through extensive primary source research, this dissertation seeks to redefine the pivotal moments in the Cady-Stanton marriage to better understand the many reasons, causes, and inspirations that led to Elizabeth Stanton’s leadership of the Seneca Falls Convention in particular and the woman suffrage movement in general.

  • Elizabeth Cady Stanton
    Name: edHelper Elizabeth Cady Stanton Caption: Elizabeth Cady Stanton (seated) with Susan B. Anthony (standing) "I wish you had been born a boy," said Daniel Cady to his daughter Elizabeth. Elizabeth Cady was trying to comfort her father after her brother's funeral. Elizabeth crawled into her father's lap to tell him she would try to be all her brother had been. She was brokenhearted to hear her father say he valued boys more than girls. Elizabeth Cady was born in Johnstown, New York, on November 12, 1815. She was the eighth of eleven children born to Daniel and Margaret Cady. Five of her brothers and sisters died before the age of five. Her brother Eleazar, died in 1826 just before graduating college. He was the only boy in the family. Learning how her father felt about girls after Eleazar's death changed her life. From that point on, she was determined to impress her father with her abilities. Elizabeth received a formal education. She attended Johnstown Academy until she was sixteen. She entered several academic contests and won. After graduating from high school, Elizabeth was denied entrance to the local college. The college only admitted men. She enrolled in Troy Female Seminary but dropped out after nearly experiencing a nervous breakdown. Elizabeth became involved in the temperance (movement against the consumption of alcohol) and abolitionist (movement to end slavery) movements as a young woman. She met Henry Brewster Stanton at one of these functions. She and Henry were married in 1840. They lived with Elizabeth's father while Henry studied law.
