The Declaration of Independence called George III a tyrant. And in 1848, a group of women’s rights activists mirrored our founding document to accuse men of the same crime. Today in our final revisit to the Declaration of Independence, we explore the Declaration of Sentiments, the document at the heart of the women’s suffrage movement. Our guest is Laura Free, host of the podcast Amended and professor at Hobart and William Smith Colleges. If you’re a fan of Civics 101, you’ll love our newsletter, Extra Credit!
