In the late 1800s and early 1900s, women felt discriminated
                                        against by men and by most of society. Men generally held
                                        discriminatory and stereotypical views of women, which made
                                        many women dissatisfied with their lives and made them, feel
                                        their lives were unfulfilled and spinning out of control.
                                        Discrimination spurred women to take action. Women began
                                        to revolt, they began expressing the feelings they had bottled
                                        up inside all along. Kate Chopin wrote The Awakening, which
                                        helped other women to know they were not alone. In 1848,
                                        women organized the Seneca Falls convention and the
                                        Declaration of Rights and Sentiments. Later women
                                        demanded suffrage and equal rights for all. Many famous
                                        female leaders, from the Grimké sisters to Susan B. Anthony,
                                        led women to form many organizations and associations in
                                        order to preserve and uphold the rights they fought so hard
                                        for. First, in 1848 women rebelled against men's stereotypical
                                        views and organized the Seneca Falls convention.
                                        Seventy-two years before the 19th amendment was added to
                                        the constitution, women knew changes needed to be made.
                                        Five women: Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, Mary Ann
                                        McClintock, Jane Hunt, and Martha C Wright; came together
                                        in Stanton's hometown of Seneca Falls, New York, and
                                        arranged the First Woman's Rights Convention. They were
                                        fed up with the laws prohibiting them from the right to vote,
                                        hold office or sit on juries. "In most states they could only hold
