Photo#1: Seneca Falls convention
Women haven't been given the same rights as men in the United States. Women have been subordinate to men despite the fact that the United States was founded on freedom. Furthermore they have been held accountable to laws in which they had no say. When a woman is married, she is expected to be subservient to her husband, and has no rights by law. A woman's wages were her husbands, she was "oppressed on all sides". In the Seneca Falls Convention women are demanding to be treated as equals to men including the right to vote. It is understood that the speedy success of the cause depends upon the untiring efforts of both men and women. It is also the right and duty of women, equally with men, to promote every righteous cause by every righteous means.
