Description
A Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions by Elizabeth Cady Stanton is a pivotal document in the women's rights movement in the United States. Authored primarily by Stanton, it was signed by 100 attendees at the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848, representing both men and women who sought to address the grievances faced by women. The declaration's central statement asserts that women are entitled to equal rights and privileges as citizens of the United States. This groundbreaking work laid the groundwork for future activism and paved the way for significant changes, including the eventual ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920. This edition is part of Applewood Books' "American Roots" series, a collection of works that capture the passions and ideas of America's most influential writers and thinkers.
