Women had been being treated unfairly for years and finally a group of women decided not to put up with it anymore. Among these women were two famous women Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. They decided to have a convention to try and explain to the public why they deserved to have the same rights as men. It took place in Seneca Falls, New York and would later be called the Seneca Falls Convention. It lasted two days July 19-20 in 1848. About three hundred men and women came from everywhere to attend the convention. Among the men was Frederick Douglas a strong supporter of women's rights and a former slave himself he knew how it felt to be treated unfairly. Elizabeth Cady Stanton was in charge of drafting a document which was the Declaration of Sentiments. She tried to model it after the Declaration of Independece. It even had the same beginning line. It stated that women should have the same rights and oppurtunities as men in their jobs and education. Many people supported all the resolutions except for one which was that women deserve to have the same voting priveledges. Most men did not agree with this but Frederick Douglass got up and spoke on behalf of all the women explaining that they should also be able to vote. Thanks to Frederick all the resolutions proposed by Elizabeth Cady Stanton in the Declaration of Sentiments passed. Without the Seneca Falls Convnetion women would not be where they are today. After the Convnetion nothing happened immediately and it really did not change the way women were treated but in the later years and even today you can see what a huge difference it made on society. Now women have all the same rights as men- they can vote and do whatever job they would like. Things have really changed for women in recent years and it's all thanks to the Seneca Falls Convention.====== []
