    The First Step: Senecca Falls

    The Seneca Falls Convention of 1848 was the first womens rights convention in the western world. Organized by Quakers and Elizabeth Katy Stanton, the conference ran from July 19-20 and produced the first major document to enumerate and declare the reasons for womens rights. The right to vote was part of the document called the Declaration of Sentiments. Not everyone at the convention, including the famous Lucretia Mott, believed that the vote should be a central issue. However Frederick Douglas, the African American writer and anti-slavery advocate persuaded the members of the convention that it should be an essential part of their platform. By the second womens congress, held in 1851 in Worcester Massachusetts, the right to vote was the central element of the womens equality movement.
