LAD/Blog #12: Seneca Falls Declaration of Sentiments

List the democratic principles at the start.
They are:


  • Equality
  • Inalienable Rights
  • Consent of the governed

List 5 grievances.


Here are some:




  • He has compelled her to submit to laws, in the formation of which she had no voice.
  • He has taken from her all right in property, even to the wages she earns.
  • He has monopolized nearly all the profitable employments, and from those she is permitted to follow, she receives but a scanty remuneration.
  • He has denied her the facilities for obtaining a thorough education—all colleges being closed against her.
  • He has endeavored, in every way that he could to destroy her confidence in her own powers, to lessen her self-respect, and to make her willing to lead a dependent and abject life

  • Make note of the final resolution.

    They are determined to achieve their goals to whatever necessary extent. 


    The final copy was signed by 68 women and 32 men.  List 5 notable names (men and men) and make note of one woman who did not sign it.

    Some are:

    Frederick Douglass

    Elizabeth Cady Stanton
    S.E. Woodworth
    Lucretia Mott
    Jane C. Hunt

    To my surprise, Susan B. Anthony did not sign the Declaration.


     One of your pictures should be of the statues of attendees on display at the Women's Rights National Historical Park just down the thruway in Seneca Falls, NY



    The moment for civil rights and the movement for women's rights are similar in that both groups strived for equality under the law.
