During a hot summer in 1848, a convention was held by the Women of Seneca County, NY to discuss the social, civil, and religious conditions of women in the United States. Three hundred met inside the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel in Seneca Falls from July 19-20 to read, revise, and debate Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s proposed "Declaration of Sentiments."

The Report of the Woman’s Rights Convention is a pocket-sized, reproduction booklet first printed in 1848 within Frederick Douglass’ antislavery newspaper the North Star. In addition to being the earliest known print of "Declaration of Sentiments" it contains the proceedings, resolutions, and list of signatories at the convention.

As the first gathering in the United States of its kind, the Seneca Falls Convention became a pivotal point on the timeline of women’s societal, civil, and moral rights—and sounded off the country’s earliest cries for universal equality and suffrage.
