Article Evaluation
In reviewing the "Seneca Falls Convention" article, the author notes that it was unusual for non-Quaker women to hear Lucretia Mott (a Quaker) to be such a strong vocal leader stating that it was not normal for the time period. The sentence in itself is slightly confusing, and left me wondering if it was normal for Quaker women to be able to speak up, or was it just unusual for non-Quaker women to speak? Does the author mean to say that it was unusual for both Quaker and non-Quaker women to speak?

In the fourth paragraph it states that many people at the time, and now, saw this convention as the beginning of a civil right movement and finally a notion for women to finally become equal to their male counterparts. This paragraph seems biased to me because they are excluding the opinions of Black women during that time period, and how Black women were being ignored and discriminated against throughout the entire social "movement." White women were the leaders of this social project and did not include Black women in their agenda, and even kept them segregated in order to win over the vote of the south. The source for this statement (McMillan, 2008. p.102) does not seem interested in anyone but Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and seems to simply marvel at their opinions and accomplishments. I do not believe this is a reliable source.
