The early women's rights advocates in the first half of the nineteenth century gathered for the first time at the _Seneca_Falls_ Convention in 1848.
Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, organized in Seneca Falls (New York) the first convention on women's rights in the United States, where the Seneca Falls Declaration text was published, inspired by the Declaration of Independence of the United States, and which was also called Statement of Feelings. Such a document, considering the basis or essence of feminism, showed the great dissatisfaction of women with the fact that they could not vote, could not go to elections, could not occupy political positions, had many restrictions, could not even participate in political meetings . After this convention, others would be created in several states, supported by many women and men, until the beginning of the Civil War.
