Religious revival and women becoming converted to christianity caused them to start believing they can be more than just women taking jobs no one else wanted. This time period was also when the Second Great Awakening became known. The
Second Great Awakening was a protestant revival movement. It greatly helped the women in their campaign of getting rights. The effects of women’s rights has changed the world completely. Many women have become governors, senators, and congressional women.
Without the prolonged fighting spirit of women to obtain the same rights as men, women could very well still not have the ability to run for official places, or even be able to vote.
The historical people like Lucy Stone, Dorothea Dix, and Susan Anthony and the movements that they caused have inspired women to fight for their rights all the way up to
1920, the year they obtained the right to vote by the 19th Amendment.

After a considerable talk and prayer, she gave in and settled into a joyous faith. “From that moment, she was outspoken in her religious convictions, and zealous for the conversation of her friends”(Document A). Charles G. Finney was explaining how generous
