Abstract: What place should women occupy in our nation and the world ?Almost a century ago at Seneca Falls, New York, a small but determined group of women held a "Woman's Rights" Convention which proved to be the beginning of a great social movement.Lucretia Mott, a quiet-spoken Quakeress with a penetrating intel ligence, her sister, Martha C. Wright, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Mary Ann McClintock called the Convention and presented, in a manner of the Declaration of Independence, a "Declaration of Sentiments."The Seneca Falls Convention outlined the objectives these women and those leaders who followed them wished to achieve.
