The women’s movement was an event that brought many people together, no matter the gender, class, or race. Just like Angela Davis dicussed in chapter 3, the movement was tested in so many levels but at the end it accpmplished a lot. Women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton, proved that big issues like this affect everyone no matter their race or class. She had realized how women not only of color, but women in general had faced monumental challenges for many decades. She proved how just like men, women have the ability to fulfill any expectantions. Wether it was to be an exemplar mother or a lawyer, Staton defied the view society had at this time. She faced the same struggle every other women at the time faced. Being a fly on the wall, in a world dominated by man, made her and many others join the abolition movement. She helped women open their eyes and notice the similar situations they were all in, it was a wake up call for everyone to fight for equality. But not only were women in the movement, men were also trying to fight for equality. At this time, equality was a strange concept that was impossible to accomplish if society didn’t come together. Davis was trying to tell us that major issues regarding our basic human rights, will become e everyone’s issue sooner or later. We become all one, equality is something we all enjoy wethee it affects us directly or indirectly. As soon as equality becomes something believable for everyone, it will become a reality for all. Organized movements will always be the right weapon agaisnt any oppression figures or groups. We must first become educated and use our intelect to fight agaisnt any injustice. Davis used Stanton to show how race, gender, and class are all connected in a harmonized way.
