Declaration of Sentiments

In US history, document adopted at the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 that called for women to have equal rights to men in areas such as education, ownership of property, and voting. Its author, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, used the Declaration of Independence as her model. The passage of the resolution calling for the right to vote marked the beginning of the organized women's suffrage movement in the USA, ending in the Nineteenth Amendment to the US Constitution (see Amendment, Nineteenth).
