why was the seneca falls convention important?
The Seneca Falls Convection was extremely significant because it was the first step toward sexual equality. In July 19-20, the 2 day meeting in Seneca Falls, New York was the first women's rights convention. Over 300 members attended (40 men), including Fredrick Douglas,Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Lucretia Mott. Seneca Falls eventually lead to ratification of the 19th amendment in 1920 giving women today the right to vote.
