She converted to Roman Catholicism in 1856, made nine pilgrimages to Rome and founded at least twenty sisterhoods and convents in the Philadelphia and Cincinnati archdioceses.

1840 � Elizabeth Cady married Henry Brewster Stanton (an abolitionist), omitting the word �obey� from the ceremony.   She had already observed enough about the legal relationships between men and women to insist that the word obey be dropped from the ceremony. Being herself an active abolitionist, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, worked closely with Susan B. Anthony and was a women�s rights activist. Outraged that in 1840, at the World�s Anti-Slavery Convention in London, women delegates were denied official standing, she joined forces with Lucretia Mott in 1848 and called for a women�s rights convention in New York. That convention, and the Declaration of Sentiments written by Stanton which was approved there, is credited with initiating the long struggle towards women's rights and woman suffrage
