The Seneca Falls Convention, held in 1848, addressed the key social issue of women's rights, particularly the fight for women's suffrage and equality. This landmark event is often considered the birthplace of the women's rights movement in the United States. Organized by prominent activists such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott, the convention culminated in the "Declaration of Sentiments," which outlined the grievances and demands of women, including the right to vote. The convention marked a significant moment in U.S. history, drawing attention to gender inequality and inspiring subsequent generations to continue the struggle for women's rights.
