Elizabeth Cady Stanton was a leading theoretician of the women's rights movement, contrary to most of her religious female colleagues, she believed further that organized religion would have to be abolished before true emancipation for women could be achieved.
During the early 20th century the term new woman came to be used in the popular press becase more young women were going to school, working both in blue- and white-collar jobs, and living by themselves in city apartments. Some social critics feared that feminism, which they interpreted to mean the end of the home and family, was triumphing. Young people dated more than their parents did and used the automobile to escape parental supervision, most young women still married and became the traditional housewives and mothers.
I think that this movement was exceptional, because this was the moment when women can prove that women and men are equal. And not only that, this proves that women can do more things and better that men.
