What is the

great human path?
For me that would be a person who eater had a good path meaning he/she did good all the way through out his/hers life.Some one who helped because he wanted to not to get money or to be noticed,get awards  be in newspapers.Some one who did good deed's because he wanted everyone to live normal and didn't want people sufferings.But for me a person who was on the bottom and touched the top had an even grater human path.Some one who grew up in an problematic neiber ghood or had a difficult child hood or some one who was on drugs or something like that.Some one who was on the bottom but worked hard on him and got rid off everything bad and started a new chapter,clean.People like that know the best what suffering is, the feeling and they went trough it.They know how strong you have to be to do it. That's a character for me. That's a person who can help other people better than other people who want to help them just because they feel bad for them.People who went already trough it can make better changes and do more because they know how it feels and they can help.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton had a life long exposure to law.Her father was a lawyer,assemblyman and congressman.In 1840, she married Henry Brewster Stanton.He was an abolitionist.That means that he supported the elimination of slavery.
Elizabeth C. Stanton was an abolitionist, as well.When she got married she had already observed the legal relationships between man and woman.On her wedding day she insisted that the word 'obey' be dropped from the ceremony. Eliszabeth C. Stanton was outraged when the World's Anti-Slavery Convention is London ,in 1840, devied official standing to women delegated,including Lutricia Mott.Elizabeth did as much as she could, looking at what time she tried to get rights for woman.She worked with a lot of people even some of the most important people at that time including Susan B Anthony.On her death she left behind an unmailed  letter to Theodore Roosevelt asking for his support in the women's suffrage movement.

I think that Elizabeths father influenced her a lot.He was a lawyer,assemblyman and congressman.She was around law her whole life.I think that her father probably told her to stand up for whatever she thinks is right in life.That maybe guided her to stand up for women's rights.She saw how some women treated and she wanted equality not only for colored people but for all, women and men, colored or not.Her husband supported her in everything she did.Even when almost everyone left her alone because they were afraid that they would go to jail.Elizabeth Cady Stanton was there to be the voice of all the women and to some how get her voice herd even if that meant going to jail.,
