Seneca Falls Convention

The first US convention dedicated to women's rights, held in Seneca Falls, New York State, in July 1848. It was organized by women's suffrage leaders Lucretia Coffin Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. A Declaration of Sentiments, modelled on the US Declaration of Independence, called for female suffrage, equal educational and employment opportunities, and more legal rights. The convention formally launched the women's suffrage movement in the USA.
