The Seneca Falls Convention was the first women's rights convention held in the United States, taking place in July 1848 in Seneca Falls, New York. Organized by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott, the event aimed to address the social, civil, and religious rights of women. During the convention, attendees discussed various issues and adopted the Declaration of Sentiments, which outlined grievances and demands for equality. This document, modeled after the Declaration of Independence, called for women's suffrage and highlighted the need for legal and social reforms to improve women's status in society.
