In 1848, 300 men and women held a convention in Seneca Falls, New York to discuss women's rights. The Seneca Falls Convention, organized by Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, hosted men and women who were committed to greater legal and social recognition of women. Famed abolitionist Frederick Douglass was among the speakers at the event, and he successfully defended a voting rights provision for women in the resolution that was written at the event-the Declaration of Sentiments. The provision about suffrage had ignited a fierce debate and was almost eliminated as one of the attendees' political goals.
