Listen "The Birth of the Women’s Movement"
Episode Synopsis
You probably know the names Susan B. Anthony and
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, but what exactly did they do? You might not know the names Lydia Maria Child, Margaret Fuller, Elizabeth Miller Smith, Amelia Bloomer, Sarah and Angelina Grimke, Elizabeth Blackwell, Sojourner Truth, Lucy Stone, Carrie Chapman Catt, Frances Willard, Mary Church Terrell, Anna Howard Shaw, Ida B. Wells, and Alice Paul – but you should. In this first of a multi-part series “The Birth of the Women’s Movement”, The American Tapestry Project examines the life and times of those 19th century women who fought for women's rights by appealing to America's foundational values. In doing so, they changed the world and shaped the future.
