D- She successfully argued for women's suffrage before the Supreme Court

The correct answer is C. Elizabeth Cady Stanton organized the first public discussion of women's rights in the United States.

Explanation:

Elizabeth Cady Stanton was the eighth of eleven children. Her father, Daniel Cady, was a prominent lawyer who introduced his daughter to the law and legal world at a young age in his law firm. Thanks to this early exposure to the law, she soon came to the conclusion that women, and certainly married women, had few rights in nineteenth-century society: they could not own property, they could not manage their income and they had no (legal) control over their children.  

Elizabeth went to school at the mixed school of Johnstown. She studied classical languages ​​and mathematics and was a brilliant student. To her great disappointment, when she graduated from this school at the age of 16, she was unable to move on to university education, like the boys in her class.

After school, Elizabeth became involved in the movement for the abolition of slavery. In this movement she met her husband, Henry Brewster Stanton, a journalist and later a lawyer. They married in 1840 and had six children.

In 1848, tired of her life as a housewife, Cady Stanton organized a first convention on women's rights: the Seneca Falls Convention. At this convention she presented her Declaration of Sentiments, a document in which she defends gender equality. This convention and the Declaration formed the starting signal for the feminist movement in America. In 1851 she met Susan B. Anthony, another prominent suffragette. The two would remain lifelong friends and work together for women's suffrage.
