This presentation will layout for teachers the women who started the fight for equality in the 1830s. Many believe Seneca Falls, New York was the beginning, but this is a caldron that started brewing the minute women began participating in the Anti-Slavery Movement.  It was their backseat position in this group that stirred the pot and caused a split among women involved in Anit-Slavery work.  For the women that left,  African American’s and Women’s rights belonged together in this struggle to even the playing field.  In the words of Sarah Moore Grimke, [all she wanted was to] “..ask no favor for my sex.. All I ask of our brethren is that they take their feet off our necks.”
