Women's Rights Convention at Seneca Falls

The Women’s Rights Convention at Seneca Falls, held in 1848, was a pivotal event where leaders like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott gathered to address women's lack of legal rights and social equality. They produced the Declaration of Sentiments, inspired by the Declaration of Independence, demanding equal rights for women, including voting, education, and property ownership. This convention is considered the birth of the women's rights movement in the United States, sparking ongoing efforts for gender equality and inspiring future activism.
