National Woman's Rights Movement

National Woman's Rights Movement

A history of the national woman's rights movement, for twenty years, including speechs

In this speech to women's rights advocates, the speaker celebrates Myra Bradwell's contibution to the movement with her legal intelligence. Even though there were deep divisions across the movement, like whether black suffrage should come before women's suffrage, so leaders of the movement could still come together and pay tribute to those who made strides for women, no matter their belief.
This is a vital recognition of Bradwell's activitism because it shows her work was still respected in spite of all the division within the movement.
