Elizabeth Cady Stanton was a leader of the women's rights movement in the U.S. during the mid- to late-1800s. She was the main force behind the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention, the first convention to be called for the sole purpose of discussing women's rights, and was the primary author of its Declaration of Sentiments.

Coline Jenkins, the great great granddaughter of Elizabeth Cady Stanton — a leading figure whose “Declaration of Sentiments” in 1848 served as the foundation on which all women’s rights movements ever since were built — speaks during the ceremony.

This button displays two symbols of the suffrage movement: the colors purple, white and green and the popular slogan “Votes for Women". When Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s daughter Harriot Stanton Blatch formed the Women’s Political Union in the United States, she adopted the purple, green and white standard as well.

Many posters were produced and distributed to publicize meetings and rallies, but also to celebrate victories throughout the Suffragist Movement. This example depicts the timeline of the Movement, starting at the top with the passage of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote, and at the bottom is the line in the Declaration of Independence stating that "All MEN are created equal", in 1776.
