This article displays the importance of the Seneca Falls Convention and how it started

the movement for women's rights. An important woman in this conference included

Elizabeth Cady Stanton. She's the one that drafted the Declaration of Sentiments-

which asked for women's equality and suffrage. Like a regular convention, not

everyone agreed. There's still a debate to this day of its historical significance, but the

obvious known fact is that this began a huge movement, that we still have to fight for

to this day.
