National Woman's Rights Convention

The National Woman's Rights Convention, first held in 1848 in Seneca Falls, New York, was a pivotal gathering focused on advocating for women's rights, particularly in areas like suffrage, education, and employment. Leaders like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott organized the event to address gender inequality and promote the idea that women should have the same legal and social rights as men. The convention produced the Declaration of Sentiments, a document outlining grievances and demands for equal rights, marking a significant moment in the early women's rights movement in the United States.
