LAD #11 Seneca Falls Declaration

The Seneca Falls Declaration started out by saying that the rights for men that were given in the Declaration of Independence should also be applied to women. The declaration also listed grievances that American women have such as, they can't own property, they have no say in government, marriage takes away their rights, they cannot go to college or receive a higher education, and the lack of say they have in the Church. After these grievances were listed, the women went on to explain resolutions to these problems. Some of these resolutions stated that women had equal rights with men, all women should be able to address the public, and the freedom of women to speak and teach in all religious assemblies.
