The purpose of the women’s right movement was to help women gain equality. Even though women still don't have the same rights that men do, we did get more opportunities than we had in the past. Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton are 2 of the people who help start the whole movement. Women’s right movement started in the year of 1848. The first convention for women’s rights was held in Seneca Falls, New York. A group of women met up and discussed how women need more rights. They wanted to have more job opportunities, be involved with politics, have the right to vote, and to have better working conditions and wages ( Cullen-DuPont). In the year of 1920, the 19th amendment was passed. It means finally women have the right to vote.
