Notes

. Cady Stanton was heavily involved as an abolitionist before turning her sights to women’s rights, but she broke with many of her former allies after the Civil War, especially over the issue of giving African-American men the right to vote while denying it to women of all races.
. Although a speaker and thinker of tremendous gifts, Cady Stanton often had to be prodded by Susan B. Anthony to utilize her talents
. Cady Stanton’s “Declaration of Sentiments” was presented at the legendary Seneca Falls Convention and helped to jump-start the nascent suffragist movement in the U.S
Cady Stanton’s wider view of women’s rights, which went beyond voting rights to include such things as property rights, parental rights, and divorce, helped to bring about a serious divide in the women’s rights movement of the time.

9. Cady Stanton’s daughter, Harriot Stanton Blatch, was also a women’s rights activist, and was known for her organizing strategies.

10. Cady Stanton died in 1902 was buried in Woodlawn Cemetary in the Bronx, NY
