Upstate New York and the Women's Rights Movement

Label text

The 1866 Woman's Rights Convention was the first held since the beginning of the Civil War. The call to the Convention reflects Stanton's and Anthony's concern that the proposed fourteenth amendment would extend suffrage to black males only. In an enclosed note to Amy Post, Anthony writes: "I hope you will be at the convention. We shall need every woman & man who really believes now is the hour for woman to demand the ballot."
