What steps did American women take to advance their rights in the mid 1800s?

-They protested.
-Women from lower classes began to work.
-Reform Movements,

I can't think of any others?

Some were active in the Women's Suffrage movement.

A notable former slave, Sojourner Truth, gave impassioned speeches, one stating, "Ain't I a woman?"
