I think the answer would be suffrage. In the past, many Quakers do not allow women to vote. Discrimination between the two gender had been one of the biggest issues aside from racism. Stanton and Mott had convened in the Seneca Fall Convention in order to tackle the rights of many women all over the country. They were not able to get their rights immediately but the convention was a good start.
