Lesson 89: Women's Right

     Along with the major reforms being made, the beginning of equality between men and women was being started.
     After the Revolutionary War women were expected to become role-model wives and mothers the their children across America.  Although some were content with their lives and limited participation in governmental affairs, others were unhappy and wished to create equality between themselves and men, rather than be on the same level as slaves and children.
     Certain women of the time began to meet and form a convention of women's rights which was held at Seneca Falls, New York in 1848.  They created a document based off of the constitution that gave them the rights of equality with men they desired.  Although this document was not well recieved be the government at that time, it set stage for the women in America to gradually gain their equality with men.
