The Women's Congress in Seneca Falls

-

Seneca Falls Women's Convention - Women's rights meeting held on July 19-20, 1848 in Seneca Falls, USA. It is often considered the birthplace of feminism in the United States, as the Declaration of Sentiments was signed by 100 people (out of 300 participants and participants in the convention), including men and women. The initiates of the convention were Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott, both of whom had previously participated in the abolitionist movement (for the abolition of slavery), and both had experienced discrimination in the movement of sex. At the World Conference of Opponents of Slavery in London in 1840 elected representatives of their local organizations women were not admitted into the meeting room. Apparently, this event inspired Elisabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott to convene the Women's Convention. Inspired by the Declaration of Independence, the American author of the Declaration (Elizabeth Cady Stanton) argued that women are also US citizens, so they should have equal rights with men. At the time when women won the right to vote in the United States (1920), only one signatory of the Declaration, Charlotte Woodward, could finally exercise the right to vote.
