An abolitionist by the name of Lucretia Mott led the women's suffrage movement. She was a Quaker, who had grown up on the barren island of Nantucket, Massachusetts, a center of whaling and fishing, making the men usually away from home, therefore the women were very self-sufficient. He believed in educating his daughters and Lucretia was sent to a Quaker academy, the Nine Partners, a very well respected academy that taught serious academic subject.

When she graduated from there, she was qualified to be a teacher. She married James Mott and became a traveling speaker. The Quakers were the only denomination that allowed women to assume leadership roles within the religious community. Because of Mott's reputation as an abolitionist she was invited to observe a meeting of the Anti-Slavery Society. She was one of the four women present.

Stanton also became involved in her first political battle for women's rights. Her argument was to allow a married women to own property. At the time, the laws of most states ruled that all property, money, and wages acquired by a women before of after marriage were owned by her husband. By 1836, a bill to protect the property of married women was introduced into the New York State legislature. The original organizers of the bills were Ernestine Rose and Pauline Wright. In 1840 Stanton joined them in the fight to pass the bill. In her first experience of lobbying, she gained skills that would serve her well in the suffrage movement. She went door to door collecting signatures for a petition supporting the bill. Finally in 1848 the bill was passed in New York. Although married women were allowed to control there own inheritance and property, still did not own their wages, which were the property of their husbands. The bill was a small improvement for women's status in the world, but it showed women like Stanton that they had the sense to fight and win.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton is another figure in women's sufferage. Mott and Stanton held a convention as soon as they returned home to promote a society to gain the rights women. Although they did not follow up their plan until eight years later, the blueprint was laid that would lead directly to the Women's Rights Convention in Seneca Falls.
