Early Women's Rights Movement, 1840-1865: PPT *U.S. History*

This 19-slide PowerPoint presentation covers the early years of the Women’s Rights Movement in the United States, from 1840 through 1865. It is an ideal lesson for the antebellum time period or as a stand-alone resource for women’s history. It is also a good resource during Women’s History Month.

Each slide contains information and graphics that highlight how the Women’s Rights Movement developed during these twenty-five years. It points to the influential role of abolition in helping women to become activists and then the realization that women needed to take action on their own behalf. Key women are highlighted including the giants of the era such as Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony and Sojourner Truth.

There is also an Easel Assessment. For Home Schoolers or for asynchronous learning, this is a valuable digital tool.
