Declaration of Sentiments Review

Background

The 1848 Declaration of Sentiments was presented at the Seneca Falls Convention, the birthplace of the women’s rights movement in the United States. Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902) and Lucretia Mott (1793–1880) had first discussed the idea for the conference at the World Anti-Slavery Convention in London in 1840. Active abolitionists, the women had been denied the right to participate in the convention because of their gender.
