"I do not believe woman's utter dependence on man wins for her his respect; it may cause him to love and pet her as a child, but never to regard and treat her as a peer."
~Susan B. Anthony

At the time of the Convention, women held a lesser status than men and
 lacked many basic rights. The women's rights movement compelled society to shift its perception of women, and women's rights gradually improved.

"... do not tell us before we are born even, that our province is to cook dinners, darn stockings, and sew on buttons."
~Lucy Stone, 1855
