There
is a site called the National
Women's History Project,
which talks about women's history
in this country from the time
this country was settled until
today.
The time that you mention--1810-1860
was a very important time for
women and was really the begining
of the women's movement as we
know it today. Most specifically,
in 1846, there was a women's
rights convention in Seneca
Falls, New York. It was here
that several woman and one man
introduced the idea of women
obtaining the right to vote--as
well as other basic rights that
should go along with being a
citizen. I hope that you learn
a lot. Let me know if I can
help explain anything further.
Good luck.
