The final writing assignment for HIST 1301 is a paper on the book,<\/span> <\/span>Seneca Falls and the Origins of the Women\u2019s Rights Movement,<\/i> <\/span>by Sally G. McMillen. Dr. McMillen\u2019s book takes a look at the 19<\/span>th<\/sup> <\/span>century women\u2019s rights movement and how four individuals were, according to her, critical to that movement. Historians often refer to this movement as the \u201cFirst Women\u2019s Rights Movement.\u201d The second movement emerged during the late 1960s and into the 1970s.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

The women\u2019s rights movement, for a historian, offers insights into legal, religious, and social restrictions placed on women and how they maneuvered in that world and often chafed against the restrictions. Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Lucy Stone were well-educated women, coming from rather interesting backgrounds, and they all played significant roles in pushing forward women\u2019s rights in the 19th<\/sup> <\/span>century. Although the first suggestion that women secure voting rights occurred in the 1840s, none of the four women would survive to see women\u2019s voting rights come to fruition in 1920. But their contributions to the endeavor formed the foundation of the women\u2019s rights movement throughout the 19th<\/sup> <\/span>century and into the 20th<\/sup> <\/span>century<\/p>\n
