Successes that came from the Convention included the Declaration of Sentiments which is one of America's most important documents advocating for women's rights. The declaration states that both men and women are created equally and are allowed the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The Seneca Falls meeting was not only the first meeting in supporting women's rights but later on suffragists as the meeting that launched the suffrage movement. For the next 50 years women suffrage supporter's worked to educate the public about the validity of women suffrage. ]]> 2019-02-26 17:50:00 UTC https://padlet.com/20mstalter/c8r2hpdwe35f/wish/335509149 20mstalter https://padlet.com/20mstalter/c8r2hpdwe35f/wish/335927961 -Elizabeth Cady Stanton was an influential and leading women's rights advocate.

Anti-suffragists believed that women should be denied the right to vote as well as stick to their "women duties" such as cleaning, cooking, and being a good wife. Anti-suffragists argued that most women did not want to vote, artists created political cartoons that mocked suffragists, religious leaders spoke out against women's political activism, and articles attack women who took part in public life. ]]> 2019-02-27 17:53:35 UTC https://padlet.com/20mstalter/c8r2hpdwe35f/wish/336043375 20mstalter https://padlet.com/20mstalter/c8r2hpdwe35f/wish/338034694 Following the Seneca Falls Convention, many national women's rights conventions were held throughout the United States focusing on women's suffrage. More than 70 years after the Convention, Congress passed the 19th amendment granting women the right to vote, this victory changed women's role in society and created a new wave of feminism allowing women to address political issues such as reproductive rights, the workplace, gender equality, and family roles. ]]> 2019-03-05 17:43:55 UTC https://padlet.com/20mstalter/c8r2hpdwe35f/wish/338034694
