Social Change is the process of making a difference in the patterns of behaviour and in relationships of people in the society. Example of a major social change is Abolition of Slavery.

Lucerita Mott , as a social reformer and a feminist activist, she worked for a change in social status of women and found ' Philadelphia Female Antislavery society ' in 1833. She was strong supporter of First Women's rights Convention at Seneca falls ( New York) in 1848. Elizabeth Cady Stanton also joined with Mott and organized this Convention. Mott written the ' Declaration of Sentiments ' and both read out the 'sentiments ' in the convention. The main theme of the meeting is " Men and women are created equally by God". She started an organisation for helping the run - away slaves and made their freedom fight easy. After Mott's death, Stanton continued her efforts for women. Eve Ensler also influenced (me) by her works and writings. She fought for the issue ' Violence   against girs and women '.
