Answer 1

Letter A is the correct answer.

In the year of 1848, about 300 people gathered together to fight for the social, religious, and civil rights of women in the United States. Seneca Falls Convention was the first women's right convention in the United States, even though 15 years earlier women's rights advocates had already started speaking out on moral and political issues and fighting against gender discrimination that prevented married women from owning property.
