Answer:

Elizabeth Cady Stanton was an American suffragette and civil rights activist. She was a champion of women's suffrage in the United States.

After school, Elizabeth became involved in the abolitionist movement. In this movement, she was introduced to her husband, Henry Brewster Stanton, a journalist and later lawyer. They married in 1840 and had six children.  

In 1848, tired of her life as a housewife, Cady Stanton organized a first convention on women's rights: the Seneca Falls Convention. At this convention she presented her Declaration of Sentiments, a document in which she defends equality between men and women. This convention and the Declaration were the starting signal for the feminist movement in America. In 1851, she met Susan B. Anthony, another prominent suffragette. The two would remain lifelong friends and work together for women's suffrage.  

In 1881 Cady Stanton co-wrote The history of woman suffrage, a four-volume work on the history of the emancipation struggle. In 1888 she co-founded the International Women's Council, an organization that still exists.  Elizabeth Cady Stanton died in her New York home in October 1902.
