The Seneca Falls Declaration is considered by many to be the most important document of the nineteenth-century American woman's movement. It was adopted at a meeting of 300 people which focused on the "social, civil, and religious condition and rights of woman," and was held at the Wesleyan Chapel at Seneca Falls, New York, on July 19, 1848. The driving forces behind the gathering were feminists Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
To me this is one of the largest forces behind men and women getting equal rights. It went to prove that women, when given the chance can be just as successful as men. This gave the chance for women become independent, start a career, make money, and afford to live a life without the stress from life before Independence and working. This led to the believe that anything is possible, and it opened a new era for people to go out and try new things. This declaration wasn't just about woman's' rights, it was about the change that we needed.
