The Seneca Falls Convention took place in New York in 1848 and was the first convention about women’s rights in the United States.
During this convention the “Declaration of Sentiments” was written and it described the grievances and demands of women. It encouraged women to fight for their right to equality as a US citizen guaranteed by the Constitution. The Declaration of Sentiments looked for equality of women in politics, religion, education, morals and the right to vote.
