Women's Rights Convention

The Women's Rights Convention, held in Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848, was the first organized gathering advocating for women's rights in the United States. Key leaders like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott addressed issues such as women's suffrage, property rights, and education. The convention produced the "Declaration of Sentiments," a document outlining grievances and demands for equality, modeled after the Declaration of Independence. This landmark event marked the beginning of the women’s rights movement, inspiring generations to fight for gender equality and social justice.
