Elizabeth Cady Stanton Challenging Religion through the Womens Right MovementElizabeth Cady Stanton was a potent writer who believed on the abolition of slavery and that womens voice should be heard. Stanton, along with other members of the woman suffrage movement recognized how the Christian church building supported mens oppressive behavior toward women. She realized that womens position in the Church became so deteriorated that horrifying acts against women became justified and accepted by the public.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton wrote these lines in the Womans Bible as a wake up call fo r women who were accepting and taking for granted their own value in the eyes of God.
