8. What two causes did Sojourner Truth and Elizabeth Cady Stanton have in common?

Elizabeth Cady Stanton was an American public activist, abolitionist, and also a prominent figure in the early women's rights movement. Her Declaration of Feelings, first presented at the first women's rights conference in 1848 in Seneca Falls, New York, is considered the document that triggered the first organized women's rights and suffrage movements for women in the United States. Stanton's "all or nothing" stance on the issue of suffrage, as well as her views on Christianity and other women's rights, in addition to voting rights, led to the formation of two separate organizations fighting for women's rights. In 1869, Elizabeth Stanton, Susan Anthony, and the African-American feminist Sojorner Trout, who joined them, established the National Women's Suffrage Association.
