The Seneca Falls Convention of 1848 in Seneca Falls, New York, was the birthplace of the women’s suffrage movement in the United States.

The Seneca Falls Convention, held at Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848, marked the beginning of the American women's suffrage movement. Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton arranged this historic event, which was the first convention devoted to women's rights. The Declaration of Sentiments, which called for women's equality in all spheres of life, including the ability to vote, was written and approved by the participants. Future generations of activists were inspired by the conference, which signaled a sea change in the fight for gender equality. This crucial occasion established the way for the 19th Amendment's eventual ratification in 1920, which guaranteed women the right to vote.
