Seneca Falls

Seneca Falls is a historic village in New York known for hosting the first major women's rights convention in 1848. Led by activists like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott, the event marked the beginning of the organized women’s movement in the United States. Participants discussed issues such as women’s suffrage (the right to vote), equality, and social reform. The Declaration of Sentiments, drafted there, emphasized women's rights and inspired future activism. Today, Seneca Falls is recognized as a symbol of the fight for gender equality and historic progress in women’s rights.
