19 Jul 1848 Jahr - Seneca Falls Convention

Beschreibung:

During the mid-1800s, the push for women's rights started to pick up speed, spurred by the participation of women in the movement to end slavery. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott led the charge by holding the first women's rights conference in Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848. The purpose of the conference was to tackle the issues of social, civil, and religious rights for women. It resulted in the creation of the Declaration of Sentiments, which detailed the complaints and requests for equal rights, including the right to vote, ownership of property, and access to education. This gathering signified the start of a structured battle for women's suffrage and equality in the United States. The Declaration, inspired by the Declaration of Independence, pointed out deep-seated injustices and demanded major changes in society and law, setting the stage for further activism and advancements in the cause of women's rights.
