Although the Women’s Rights Movement is widely known to have started in New York‚ there is no doubt that the women of Texas fought great battles in order to gain civil liberties. Even though women were seen as partners in land labor and expected to contribute during the settlement of Texas‚ women were seen as unfit and too frail to partake in politics.
