The Seneca Falls

In 1848, a group of women held a meeting in Seneca Falls, New York, to discuss women's rights. The impact of that meeting was not immediate, but it was far-reaching. This book explores the role of women in early U.S. society and looks at the reformers of the nineteenth century who were determined to make changes. It tells the story of the women who campaigned for equality and follows the women's movement into the early 1900s, when women gained the right to vote. Book jacket.
