What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students identify what Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, and the Grimké sisters did for women's rights. They explain how each person's actions challenged limits on women.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students connect Stanton to the Declaration of Sentiments and Mott to organizing the Seneca Falls convention. They connect Anthony to voting rights campaigns and the Grimké sisters to antislavery speeches that defended women's right to speak publicly.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may credit Anthony with writing the Declaration of Sentiments or organizing Seneca Falls. They may think the Grimké sisters worked only against slavery, or that women's rights meant voting alone.
How to Assess It
- On an exit ticket, ask: "Name two leaders, give one specific action each took, and explain how one action challenged a limit on women."

Ask students how antislavery speeches led the Grimké sisters to challenge limits on women, using a line from Sarah Grimké's letters.
Play Who Did It with clue cards about drafting a declaration, organizing a convention, campaigning for votes, and giving antislavery speeches.
Show a current voter registration form, then ask students to compare its eligibility rules with the barrier Anthony faced when she voted in 1872.
