Elizabeth Cady Stanton helped organize the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 with Lucretia Mott, Mary McClintock, Jane Hunt, and Martha Wright. Her speech, the "Declaration of Sentiments", declared men and women were equally created and proposed women's suffrage. She worked alongside Susan B. Anthony for fifty years, making speeches and drafting resolutions. She ran for Congress in 1866, edited The Revolution, and authored The Woman's Bible. She was the president of the National Woman Suffrage Association for twenty-one years as well.
