order to provide a brief description of the Seneca Falls Convention.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seneca_Falls_Convention) The Seneca Falls
Convention, held in Seneca Falls, New York on July 19 to July 20, 1848, was
the first women's rights convention held in the United States, and as a
result is often called the birthplace of the feminist movement. Different
groups at different times have turned to founding documents of the United
States to meet their needs and to declare their entitlement to the promises
of the Revolution of 1776. At Seneca Falls, New York, in the summer of 1848,
a group of American men and women met to discuss the legal limitations
imposed on women during this period. Their consciousness of those
limitations had been raised by their participation in the anti-slavery
movement; eventually they used the language and structure of the Declaration
of Independence to stake their claim to the rights they felt women were
entitled to as American citizens in the Declaration of Sentiments.“ It is
important for the students to be able to examine the objectives women had
when it came to their fight for equal treatment. The Seneca Falls Convention
was a significant event in the Women’s Rights Movement. By reading the
Declaration of Sentiments and by reading the two newspaper articles, the
students can better grasp what the issues were.
