Great Women: The Beginning of Emancipatio

The Seneca Falls Convention was the first event devoted to women’s rights in the United States. The organizers saw the event as a conference to discuss women’s social, civic, and religious status and privileges (Worthen, 2017). The panel consisted of six sessions and included a lecture on law, a humorous play, and discussions of the role of women in society. Elizabeth Stanton pointed out that the gathering is a protest against a government that exists without the opinion of women (D’Atri & Flakin, 2021). In addition, she raised the issues of inequality of work and wages, the dependence of women on their husbands, and how absurd this situation is.
