Preferred term

Seneca Falls Convention  

Definition(s)

  • On July 19th and 20th, 1848, 300 people gathered in the Wesleyan Chapel in Seneca Falls to hold what would later be known as the Seneca Falls Convention, the event that marked the beginning of the modern U.S. movement for women's rights. One of the few notifications for this event was in the Seneca County Courier on July 11—the event was one that was organized quickly and received little publicity.
