Answer 2

It was The Seneca Falls Convention, held from July 19 to 20, 1848 at the Wesleyan Chapel in Seneca Falls, New York. It was the first women’s rights convention in the United States. In the meeting, there were held several speeches and manifestos advocating for the social, civil and religious rights of women (Including the Declaration of Sentiments by Elizabeth Stanton).

Such event launched the women's suffrage movement and served as an incentive action to continue to campaign for women’s rights at states and national events and reach a larger audience.
