Report of the Women's Rights Convention
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.
