The Declaration of Independence was written in 1776; July 4th , 2026, marks the 250 the anniversary of this meaningful founding document. The Declaration of Independence inspired suffragist Elizabeth Cady Stanton to write the Declaration of Sentiments just 72 years later in 1848.

Declaration of Independence

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Declaration of Sentiments

“We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men and women are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness;”

The National Collaborative for Women’s History Sites is encouraging reading both declarations on the 4th of July. By reading both declarations in celebration of the founding of our nation, we highlight the important contribution of women in the development of the United States.
