The Seneca Falls Convention was a pivotal event in the early women's rights movement, held in July 1848 in Seneca Falls, New York. Organized by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott, it marked the first women's rights convention in the United States, where activists gathered to discuss social, civil, and religious rights for women. During the convention, attendees drafted the Declaration of Sentiments, which outlined grievances and demands for equality, including the right to vote. This document was modeled after the Declaration of Independence and called for an end to discrimination against women, laying the groundwork for future advocacy and reforms.
