Question

How did the Declaration of Sentiments help the woman’s movement

Answer 1

The Declaration of Sentiments was a stepping stone to Women’s Rights. It helped take forward social, civil, political and religious rights of women, who until then had no role or major rights in these fields.

The Declaration of Sentiments was a document signed in 1848 recognising these rights of women.

The convention was held in Seneca Falls, New York, organised by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Coffin Mott and Martha Coffin Wright, all suffragists and women’s rights activists.
