July 19-20, 1848, a very important convention was held for womens rights. One of the rights that stood out the most to me was that women is man's equal--was intended to be so by the Creator, and the highest good of the race demands that she should be recognized as much. The reason why this kind of stood out to me from all the others is mostly because of adam and eve. This right is basically saying that the creater made one man and one women at the same time. This should mean that they are equal. Man was not create before women, they were created at the same time.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton was one of the first women to think of putting together a convention for womens rights when 8 years earlier, Elizabeth and other women delegates were barred from participating in the 1840 World Antislavery Convention. This convention was very important because it promoted women's rights.
Another part of the convention that stood out to me was where they talked about declaration of sentiments. It reads a very important part from the decleration of independance: We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men AND women are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights governments are instituted, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. This is very important cause it says men AND women are created EQUAL. They should have both the same rights and I think this convention did a lot of good for womens rights.
