...for women call “bloomers”. Instead of crushing their organs to perfect the “hourglass style”, women were able to move around more freely in bloomers. This kind of society provoked the women to fight for equality and respect. People who oppose their ideas looked down on them and didn’t consider them “ladies”. 6. The four regions of America clashes with one another in one way or another. These four settings make the work much more interesting. For example, in the East, women were considered to have high morals. Those who bore children with another man were considered tarnished and no one wanted them. Women in the West worked diligently and often felt lonesome since their husbands were usually away. The South was proslavery and had a hierarchy or their society. White men were on the top of the list, white women and black men are both in the middle, and black women were the lowest on the list. The North was against slavery and most of the white people in that region helped escape and emancipate the slaves. B. CHARACTERS 1. Elizabeth Cady Stanton was born on November 12, 1815 in Johnstown, New York. A Caucasian woman, Stanton had no rights as a female during her time period. Stanton was distraught that women had no rights even at such a young age. She petitioned in New York for women to have the same lawful rights as man. One of the internal conflicts Stanton suffers from was when she was a child; Stanton’s mother and father would occasionally lament that they wished that she was born a boy. With her great mind, Stanton would have gotten very far in life if she had been a boy. One of the conflicts that Stanton faces is the right to a divorce. She believed that women who are not happy with their spouses should leave if they wished . The Declaration of Sentiments was signed in 1848 in New York.

This character is in the book because without her, women would have probably waited longer before they could divorce freely. 2. Lucy Stone was born on August 13, 1818 in West Brookfield, Massachusetts. Stone advocated abolitionists and anti-slavery. Educated and intellectual, Stone wanted to continue learning, but her being a woman stopped her from that. Teaching others was one of her desires, but once again, she didn’t possess the required sex for the job. Stone graduated from Oberlin College and started to speak for women’s rights. One of the external conflicts that Stone faces is men publicly harassing her during speeches. She believed that women should live in comfortable clothes. 3. Susan B. Anthony was born on February 15, 1820 in Adams, Massachusetts. She was born to a Quaker abolitionist father who guided her at a young age. Many people called Anthony the “Napoleon of Women’s Rights Movement”. Teaching for fifteen years, Anthony became more involved in temperance. She had high beliefs in slavery; she opposed it. One of the external conflicts that Anthony had faced was the public. Many threw threats and fruits at her face. An internal conflict she must have had was whether or not her speeches and campaigns w...
