1 janv. 1848 - 1848 - The Seneca Falls Convention met to decide on a course of action to support women's rights. The convention was attended by primarily women, and produced a document known as the declaration of sentiments. Though it did not call for suffrage, it did call for the rights afforded to men in the consitution, such as owning property, to be extended to women as well. This convention was the first national women's rights convention, and set the stage for a broader movement to follow.
