Although many women had been advocating for voting rights for years, the women’s suffrage movement began to pick up steam in the mid-nineteenth century. A major milestone for the movement occurred in 1848, when Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott organized the first convention for women’s rights in Seneca Falls, New York. The two women also supported the abolition of slavery. They came up with the idea for the women’s rights convention after women were barred from participating in the 1840 World Anti-Slavery Convention in London.

Almost two hundred women attended the Seneca Falls convention. There, a number of women’s rights issues were discussed and a proclamation of demands, which included the right to vote, was written. About forty men also attended the convention. One of these men was the famous abolitionist Frederick Douglass.

Many women’s rights advocates also supported the abolitionist movement and the right of African Americans to vote. After the Civil War and the emancipation of slaves in the United States, the Fifteenth Amendment, which would give African American men the right to vote, was proposed. This caused a great divide between women suffragists. Some women, including Stanton and Anthony, would not support the amendment because they felt that it should extend voting rights to all American citizens. Other women, including Lucy Stone and Julia Ward Howe, supported the amendment. They believed that once African American men had the vote, women would be next.
