To celebrate International Women’s Day, we start our tour in Seneca Falls, a small city in the state of New York. Seneca Falls is known as the birthplace of the women's rights movement in America. The town is home to the Women’s Rights National Historical Park. The park tells the story of the first Women’s Right Convention, held in Seneca Falls, in 1848. On July 19 and 20 of 1848, 300 women and men gathered at the town’s Wesleyan Chapel for the Women’s Rights Convention. Among them was Elizabeth Cady Stanton. She was one of the early leaders of the women’s rights movement, and one of five women who organized the convention in Seneca Falls. Leaders at the convention discussed the “social, civil and religious conditions and the rights of woman.” At the end of the two-day convention, 68 women and 32 men signed the Declaration of Sentiments, which Elizabeth Cady Stanton co-wrote.
