Explanation:

The Seneca Falls Declaration, also known as the Seneca Falls Sentiments and Resolutions Declaration, is the document resulting from the meeting held on July 19 and 20, 1848, signed by sixty-eight women and thirty-two men of various movements and political associations. of liberal spirit and close to the abolitionist circles, led by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott to study the social, civil and religious conditions and rights of women.

It was Elizabeth Cady Stanton who was in charge of drafting the declaration of principles and the resolutions that were finally approved. In his writing he had it adopt the form of the Declaration of Independence (USA, 1776), which managed to load it with a powerful force of conviction and historical significance.

The declaration faced political restrictions: not being able to vote, stand for elections, hold public office, join political organizations or attend political meetings. It also went against economic restrictions: the prohibition of having property, since the goods were transferred to the husband; the prohibition of engaging in trade, owning business or opening current accounts and expressed against the denial of civil or legal rights for women.

It consists of twelve decisions and includes two major sections: the requirements to achieve civil citizenship for women and the principles that must change customs and morals. Eleven of the decisions were approved unanimously and number twelve, which refers to the vote, by a small majority.

It is considered as the founding text of feminism as a social movement. It was one of the collective expressions of contemporary feminism as opposed to previous texts such as the Declaration of the Rights of Women and of the Citizen (1791) of Olimpia de Gouges or Vindication of the rights of women (1792) by Mary Wollstonecraft.
