Iroquois women inspire 19th century feminists

Article Abstract:

The women of Iroquois nations served as inspiration to 19th century feminists such as Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. A visit by Mott in Seneca, one of the six Iroquois nations, in the summer of 1848 revealed that Senecan women have equal responsibilities with men in all aspects of their lives. Such revelation inspired Mott to take the initiative in organizing the first women's rights convention which was held in Seneca Falls, NY.
