Elizabeth Cady Stanton always stood up for human rights.

In 1848 she organized the first women's rights convention in America, demanding equality for women in education, employment, and even the right to vote.

In her famous Declaration, she wrote, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men and women are created equal…”

This biography shows her brilliance, wit and courage.
