The women's rights movement
began in Seneca Falls, New York, 150 years ago in July 1847, when Elizabeth
Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott called for a convention "to discuss
the social, civil and religious condition and rights of woman." In
effect, Seneca Falls would become the genesis for the women's rights movement.
