Ernestine Rose is recognized among Jewish contributors to Civil Rights & Human Rights — Pioneering 19th-century suffragist and orator who led the campaign for married women's property rights in New York and presided over the 1854 National Women's Rights Convention.
Ernestine Rose was a pioneering suffragist, abolitionist and freethinker, born the daughter of a rabbi in a Polish Jewish community and often called the 'first Jewish feminist.' In the 1840s she led the campaign for married women's property rights in New York State and became one of the most celebrated orators of the early American women's movement, presiding over the 1854 National Women's Rights Convention. Though she broke with religious practice, she was proudly of Jewish origin and confronted antisemitism publicly.
