About this Product
Tea coy with hand embroidered portrait of Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815-1902) was a suffragist, women's right activist, and writer. She was born in Johnstown, NY and attended the Troy Seminary founded by Emma Willard for a time. In 1848, along with Lucretia Mott and three other women, she helped organize the Seneca falls Convention in Seneca Falls, NY in which they laid out the Declaration of Sentiments, one of which was the right for women to vote. She would spend the rest of her life devoted to gaining Votes for Women!
