Elizabeth Cady Stanton's The Declaration Of Sentiments

“The Declaration of Sentiments” The Seneca Falls convention lasted two days, July 19 and 20, 1848. It was written by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, sentiments mean “a view of or attitude toward a situation or event” basically an opinion about something. This (historical document) was interesting to read about the things women weren’t loud to do. I enjoyed reading all the resolutions, so many problems resolved.

All women wanted was the right to do everything men were. They wanted to be treated equal and free to express their opinions.

Oddly both had similar messages. In “The declaration of sentiment” the writer wants to be heard and wants women to be heard. All people are created equal and women should be allowed to vote and do just as much as men. And in “The story of an hour” is a story of a woman that wants to be free. And at the end gets the satisfaction of feeling so very free. It was beautiful how Kate Chopin describes her last moments alive. I think to sum it all up people not just women want to have freedom. Not just to express their opinion but who doesn’t want to feel free. Being free to do what you love and be how, and who you want is
