They want equality.

Explanation:

Elizabeth Cady Stanton was one of the First leaders to fight for the Women's Rights and start women's rights movements. She, along with, Susan B. Anthony started the first National Woman Suffrage Association in 1869.

In 1848, the first women's right convention was held in the month of July in Seneca Falls, New York. It is also known as the Seneca Fall Convention. The leading organizer of this convention was Stanton.

When she stated the above quote she was referring to the equality rights of women in which she was actively engaged at that time.

So, the correct answer is that the position wanted by women in 1848 was of equality.
