On this date, November 12th, in 1815, Elizabeth Cady Stanton was born in New York.  She was one of the earliest fighters for women's rights and went on to become President of the National Woman Suffrage Association. She is famous for repeating this famous line from the Declaration of Independence at the first Women's Rights Convention in 1848:  "We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men and women are created equal." Unfortunately, it took another 72 years before women got the right to vote in 1920.
