Elizabeth was born on November 12th, 1815 in Johnstown New York. In her life time she was known as a famous feminist leader, today she is known as being one of the most gifted feminist leaders in all of American history. In her youth she had a total of 11 brothers and sisters, all of the males died and most of the girls, leaving Elizabeth and 3 of her sisters. As she grew up, she wanted to be equal to a male to please her father from losing all of his sons. Later in life she became a big time feminist, she fought against womans suffrage and even refused to take her husbands last name after marriage, because of the "obey" husband thing. Towards the end of her life, she was trying to change laws on marriage and stopped focusing on womans suffrage so much. She died on October 26th, 1902.
The quote I have from Mrs. Stanton is, "Nothing stregthens the judgment and quickens the conscience like individual responsibility." Truthfully, i have apsolutely no idea what this quote is trying to mean, I would ask someone but I am not around anybody at this time. If I can make a guess, it might be trying to say you can't judge something until you try it, like saying you don't like pickles if you've never even tried one. But otherwise, it's kind of a confusing quote. lol.
Thw word for today is, Insipid: Lacking taste; bland.
