So, as soon as we were dismissed, I ran down the hill, rushed breathless into [my father’s] office, laid the new Greek Testament, which was my prize, on his table and exclaimed: "There, I got it!"

Then, while I stood looking and waiting for him to say something which would show that he recognized the equality of the daughter with the son, he kissed me on the forehead and exclaimed, with a sigh, “Ah, you should have been a boy.” Based on this excerpt, what can be stated about Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s achievements during her childhood?
