The Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions Woman's Rights Convention was a convention held in 1848 in order to give woman equal rights with men.


One of the main points in the convention was that all men and women are created equally by GOD and they should be treated as such. The way that they were treated at that present time, and in the past before that, was anything less than equal, they were degraded and looked down upon purely just because they were not males. They stated in their speech that women should indeed have the same rights as men, and that they are more than fully capable of it.


Overall, I am overly thankful for this convention in the past, who knows where us women would be today without it, I probably wouldn't be sitting here doing this assignment, because I wouldn't be allowed to go to college for an education. It is weird to think back and hear that women and men didn't always have equal rights, especially since we always have since I was born. Personally though, there are times and situations where I feel that men may still have the upper hand, but people can't let it be known because of the equal rights movement --they could get into a lot of trouble. All I know is that I am thankful to be a woman, thankful for these equal rights, and thankful that I live in the present day instead of the past!
