Wesleyan Chapel Church, of course!
Seneca Falls, NY– Home of the first Women’s Rights Convention at the Wesleyan Chapel Church
On the grand year of 1848 Susan B. Anthony and four additional women stormed the notion of creating rights for women. It was the beginning of a revolution or a well-known movement, one of the best in history. Revolutions are built in numbers, so the first Women’s Rights Convention was an igniting moment as women influenced new social reform. Quaker women such as, Lucretia Mott, were a commodity to have with the Women’s Suffrage Movement, because Mott provided certain speech skills to influence the group of women that were not all completely decided on the movement itself. Mott was the mover and shaker as a lobbyist to the group for most all of two days during July 19th and 20th as the Declaration of Sentiments was presented to the women. The Declaration of Sentiments was a legislative document that Elizabeth Cady Stanton created, and 100 out of the 300 people (68 women and 32 men) that attended the Seneca Falls Convention signed the legislation. This monumental and groundbreaking event in history was the prelude to the 19th Amendment; thus, changing the lives of women across America forever.
