Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Proceedings of the Woman´s Rights Convention: Held at Syracuse, September 8th, 9th,& 10th, 1852 Before Woman´s Rights Conventions were held, the way for the movement was prepared, by petitions from women and men of several different States, asking for a recognition by the State, of her civil rights. At length the Legislature of Rhode Island essentially modified its statutes relative to the right of married women, to hold and control property. New York, after fourteen years petitioning, has done the same, and more recently Indiana also. The first Conventions on the subject were held at Seneca Falls, and Rochester, N. Y., in the summer of 1848. They based their claims on the Declaration of Independence: demanded equal rights; published their sentiments over their own names; at the head of the list stood the name of Lucretia Mott. A similar Convention was held at Salem, Ohio, in May, 1850, an able report of which was published, and widely circulated. The first National Convention was held at Worcester, Mass., Oct. 1850, - the call for which was as follows: A Convention Will be held at Worcester, Mass., on the 23d and 24th of October next, (agreeably to the appointment of a preliminary meeting held at Boston, on the 30th of May last,) to consider the question of Woman´s Rights, Duties, and Relations; and the Men and Women of our country, who feel sufficient interest in the great subject to give an earnest thought and effective effort to its rightful adjustment, are invited to meet each other in free conference, at the time and place appointed.
