While women did not gain the right to vote in all sates until 1920, there were still some victories won for women's rights in the period leading up to the Civil War. One of the most notable was New York State granting property rights to married women. This period of activism also set the foundation for the suffrage campaigns that would occur in the early 20^th century, along with women's rights, feminist and women of color movements that continue today.

While many women were active in the abolitionist movement they were often kept out of public, leadership and decision making positions. For example only two women attended the Agents' Convention of the American Anti-Slavery Society in 1836. Women began to form their own abolition groups, organizing events such as the Anti-Slavery Convention of American Women held in 1837. This convention brought 200 women to New York City, where they called for the immediate abolition of slavery in the US. The delegates argued for an end to slavery based on the often brutal conditions of slavery, as well as the ways in which slavery violated christian principals and basic human right to equality.

Woman in the Abolition movement

Does anyone knows the Woman who led this Abolition movement?

 Did the Woman joined this movement because they were seen as house keeping and as less intelligent gender in the Society than man?... because Rachel Filene Seidman (1993) cited Shirly Yee (1992) that the black leaders could not afford to suggest that woman were less intelligent than men, nor could they deny that women
worked outside the home (257).
