SENECA FALLS CONVENTION BEGINS
July 19, 1848

At the Wesleyan Chapel in Seneca Falls, New York, a woman's rights convention convened with almost 200 women in attendance. The convention was organized by Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. As women, Mott and Stanton were barred from the convention floor, and the common indignation that this aroused in both of them was the impetus for their founding of the women's rights movement in the United States. On this day in 1848, at Stanton's home near Seneca Falls, the two women, sent out a call for a women's conference to be held at Seneca Falls.
