A few years later, Elizabeth met Henry Stanton, an anti-slavery lecturer. She and Henry married and had 7 children. On their honeymoon, they visited London to attended a World Anti-Slavery Convention. She and a friend, Lucretia Mott, were displeased to to find that the women were excluded from attending the convention.

The same year, she sent petitions all around New York, to pressure the Legislature of New York into passing the New York Married Woman’s Act.
