Women's rights in the 19th century differed substantially from women's rights today. Due to the "Cult of Domesticity", women were expected to take on domestic duties. Beginning in the early 19th century, many women showed their support for the "temperance" movement because of the dangerous effect alcohol had on society and on their husbands. In 1848, women, such as Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, worked together to organize the Seneca Falls Convention. Opponents believed that women did not have the intellect or knowledge needed to vote, and instead should tend only to domestic issues out of the reach of politics. However, the convention mobilized women across the country to stand up for equality. It encouraged women to vote, work outside the home, and gain an education, aside from the traditional domestic duties they were accustomed to. Other important women, such as Susan B. Anthony, joined the fight in 1850, traveling the country to let their messages be heard. When Sojourner Truth gave her speech, "Ain't I a Woman?", she spoke up for women of color across the nation. These important women's actions and their organization of the Seneca Falls Convention paved the way for the 19th amendment to be passed in 1920.
