All women made a great contribution to the Women’s Rights Movement, throughout these women’s struggle, there were many conflicts and arguments, especially with men.
Although, Sojourner Truth disliked Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglas because she felt they weren’t fighting hard enough for Women Rights. She felt if necessary, they both should be ready to fight over Women Rights, she felt they did too much talking and less action.
