Seneca Falls Conference

The Seneca Falls Convention July 19-20, 1848
The seed for the first Woman's Rights Convention was planted in 1840, when Elizabeth Cady Stanton met Lucretia Mott at the World Anti-Slavery Convention in London, the conference that refused to seat Mott and other women delegates from America because of their sex. Stanton, the young bride of an antislavery agent, and Mott, a Quaker preacher and veteran of reform, talked then of calling a convention to address the condition of women. Eight years later, it came about as a spontaneous event. Learn more about this first convention here.

Seneca Falls, 1848. Why is it important?
Seneca Falls, 1848. Why is it important? In July 1998, the nation celebrated the 150th anniversary of an event which changed the world -- the first Women's Rights Convention held in 1848. At that time, women were not allowed the freedoms assigned to men in the eyes of the law, the church, or the government. Women did not vote, hold elective office, attend college, or earn a living. If married, they could not make legal contracts, divorce an abusive husband, or gain custody of their children. Read more about it here.
