They were two days that changed the world. The 1848 Seneca Falls Convention was the first of its kind to address the topic of womens rights. Featuring excerpts from primary sources, images, and sidebars, this informative volume describes the low status held by nineteenth-century women, and how a handful of key players sought to achieve equal rights during this convention that spawned a greater movement.
