In America, the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 is seen as the mass movement that laid the foundation for women’s right to vote, a right that was finally ratified in 1920. From this, women all over the United States began to push for the equality of women.

These women were putting theories by Wollstonecraft into practice by creating educational institutions strictly for girls and women, such as academies, teacher training facilities, and colleges.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton and the Seneca Falls Convention

One of the activists of the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention was Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who is considered the founder of the woman’s rights movement in America. Her call to action began in London at the World Anti-Slavery Convention of 1840, when the male delegates voted to refuse women entrance into the building as fellow speakers.
