Woman's rights agitation was in large measure a byproduct of women's efforts in other reform movements. Women seeking to end slavery, to attack the evils of alcohol abuse, and to improve the plight of prostitutes found themselves excluded from male reform organizations and attacked for involving themselves in concerns outside the home. A distinctive woman's rights movement began when women reformers recognized that they had to work for their own rights before they could be effective in other reform efforts.
Many early woman's rights advocates began as abolitionists, but because they were excluded from participation in the male anti-slavery societies, they formed female anti-slavery societies and ultimately, as chapter 2 describes, they began to press for their own rights in order to be more effective in the abolitionist struggle (Hersh 1978). Both Lucretia Coffin Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton dated the beginnings of the woman's rights movement from 1840, the year when five female delegates from U.S. anti-slavery societies, one of whom was Coffin Mott, were refused seating ath the World Anti-Slavery Convention in London. The outrage they felt at the debate that culminated in the denial of women's participation in the convention fueled their decision to call a woman's rights convention, a decision that eventuated in the Seneca Fall, New York, convention of 1848. Because the struggle to abolish slavery was so closely related to the earliest efforts for woman's rights, and because female abolitionists' speeches show them struggling to find ways to cope with proscriptions against speaking, the next chapter analyzes this connection. and the texts by abolitionist women are included in volume II.
