Answer:

The Abolition and the Women's Rights movements both consisted of a common goal: to grant the members of their particular groups a free and ultimately better life. The Abolition movement focused on granting slaves their freedom

Answer:

The women's rights movement was the offspring of abolition. Many people actively supported both reforms. Several participants in the 1848 First Women's Rights Convention in Seneca Falls had already labored in the anti-slavery movement.
