jun 1, 1840 - World's Antislavery Convention

Description:

Held in London, the very first World's Antislavery Convention hosts both British and foreigners alike. Its audience consists of women like Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Stanton. Here, the conversation between the two leads to the need for a rise of women's status in society, which eventually gives way to the National Women's Rights Convention (Schmoop Editorial Team).
