SUMMARY
=======
The Seneca Falls Convention was the first women's rights convention. It advertised itself as a convention to discuss the social, civil, and religious condition and rights of woman.
Held in Seneca Falls, New York, it spanned two days over July 19–20, 1848. Attracting widespread attention, it was soon followed by other women's rights conventions, including the Rochester Women's Rights Convention in Rochester, New York, two weeks later. In 1850 the first in a series of annual National Women's Rights Conventions met in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Female Quakers local to the area organized the meeting along with Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who was not a Quaker. They planned the event during a visit to the area by Philadelphia-based Lucretia Mott. Mott, a Quaker, was famous for her oratorical ability, which was rare for non-Quaker women during an era in which women were often not allowed to speak in public.
The meeting comprised six sessions including a lecture on law, a humorous presentation, and multiple discussions about the role of women in society. Stanton and the Quaker women presented two prepared documents, the Declaration of Sentiments and an accompanying list of resolutions, to be debated and modified before being put forward for signatures. A heated debate sprang up regarding women's right to vote, with many – including Mott – urging the removal of this concept, but Frederick Douglass, who was the convention's sole African American attendee, argued eloquently for its inclusion, and the suffrage resolution was retained. Exactly 100 of approximately 300 attendees signed the document, mostly women.
The convention was seen by some of its contemporaries, including featured speaker Mott, as one important step among many others in the continuing effort by women to gain for themselves a greater proportion of social, civil and moral rights,
while it was viewed by others as a revolutionary beginning to the struggle by women for complete equality with men. Stanton considered the Seneca Falls Convention to be the beginning of the women's rights movement, an opinion that was echoed in the History of Woman Suffrage, which Stanton co-wrote.The convention's Declaration of Sentiments became the single most important factor in spreading news of the women's rights movement around the country in 1848 and into the future, according to Judith Wellman, a historian of the convention.
By the time of the National Women's Rights Convention of 1851, the issue of women's right to vote had become a central tenet of the United States women's rights movement. These conventions became annual events until the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861.
Women's Suffrage Commemorative Statue Passage Unveiled in Seneca Falls .::. 11/5/15
A new statue created by Auburn's Audrey Iwanicki, Passage, was unveiled at the corporate headquarters of Generations Bank on Thursday afternoon, November 5, 2015. Generations Bank President Menzo Case hosted the unveiling of the installation which depicts three men who were prominent and outspoken in the support of women's suffrage in the early part of the 20th century. From left to right, Max Eastman, James Mott, and Frederick Douglas.
Eastman was a notable member of the women's rights movement in the early 20th century. He served as President of the Men's Equal Suffrage League in New York and was a founding member of the Men's League for Women's Suffrage in New York in 1910. In 1913, he spoke at Bryn Mawr College on the subject of women's suffrage in a speech titled, Woman Suffrage and Why I Believe in It.
James Mott chaired the Seneca Falls Convention, the first women's rights convention, held in Seneca Falls, New York in 1848 on July 19 and 20 at which his wife was the main speaker. He and Lucretia signed the convention's Declaration of Sentiments.
Frederick Douglass was the only African American to attend the Seneca Falls Convention where he stood and spoke eloquently in favor of women's right to vote andsaid that he could not accept the right to vote as a black man if women could not also claim that right.

Ki-on-twog-ky by F. Bartoli (Seneca Chief Cornplanter) (408) | New-York Historical Society
This is a portrait of Chief Ki-On-Twog-Ky, a proud leader of the Seneca tribe. Ki-On-Twog-Ky means Cornplanter. He was born in western New York State, the son of a Seneca mother and a European fur trader. In 1796 a European artist named Bartoli painted this portrait. The chief is showing off what hes wearing, and there's a story behind why. Ki-On-Twog-Ky was a mighty warrior. In the 1750s he led his tribe into battle against the French. Then during the American Revolution he fought with the British against the colonists. After the Revolution Ki-On-Twog-Ky wanted to live in peace. But he worried about the safety of his villages. Even after the Revolution, British settlers were still living just north of his lands. He knew that if the British and Americans started fighting again, his people could be drawn into war. So in 1786 he came to New York City, at that time the nations capital. He asked Congress two questions: did Americans want to live in peace with the Senecas? And would the United States respect the boundaries of the land his people lived on, land assigned to them by treaty. Congress assured the chief that he had nothing to worry about. And that's where the portrait comes in.

SUMMARY
=======
Women's suffrage in the United States of America, the legal right of women to vote, was established over the course of more than half a century, first in various states and localities, sometimes on a limited basis, and then nationally in 1920.
The demand for women's suffrage began to gather strength in the 1840s, emerging from the broader movement for women's rights. In 1848, the Seneca Falls Convention, the first women's rights convention, passed a resolution in favor of women's suffrage despite opposition from some of its organizers, who believed the idea was too extreme. By the time of the first National Women's Rights Convention in 1850, however, suffrage was becoming an increasingly important aspect of the movement's activities.
The first national suffrage organizations were established in 1869 when two competing organizations were formed, one led by Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton and the other by Lucy Stone. After years of rivalry, they merged in 1890 as the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) with Anthony as its leading force. The Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), which was the largest women's organization at that time, was established in 1873 and also pursued women's suffrage, giving a huge boost to the movement.Hoping that the U.S. Supreme Court would rule that women had a constitutional right to vote, suffragists made several attempts to vote in the early 1870s and then filed lawsuits when they were turned away. Anthony actually succeeded in voting in 1872 but was arrested for that act and found guilty in a widely publicized trial that gave the movement fresh momentum. After the Supreme Court ruled against them in the 1875 case Minor v. Happersett, suffragists began the decades-long campaign for an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would enfranchise women. Much of the movement's energy, however, went toward working for suffrage on a state-by-state basis.

Statue of female civil rights icons to be erected in NY's Central Park
New York's Central Park is getting real when it comes to women who made their mark on history. The city's Public Design Commission approved a Central Park monument on Monday that will feature - for the first time - real women from history, and pay tribute to civil rights pioneers Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Sojourner Truth. The monument to the three women, who were all New Yorkers, is to be designed by world renowned artist Meredith Bergmann, and dedicated next August in time for the 100th anniversary of women's suffrage in the United States. New York's Public Design Commission approved a statue to women's rights pioneers Sojourner Truth, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony for Central Park on Monday. The design of the statue is show above The monument to the three women who were all New Yorkers was designed by world renowned artist Meredith Bergmann (pictured), and dedicated next August in time for the 100th anniversary of women's suffrage in the United States 'My hope is that all people, but especially young people, will be inspired by this image of women of different races, different religious backgrounds and different economic status working together to change the world,' Bergmann (pictured) said after Monday's voteThe sculpture will break what some have dubbed the 'bronze ceiling' in the 166-year-old urban oasis. Final approval came from the Public Design Commission, an agency that reviews artworks on city-owned property.'This statue conveys the power of women working together to bring about revolutionary change in our society,' said Pam Elam, president of the Monumental Women's Statue Fund, a nonprofit of advocates, historians and community leaders including Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer. The design was chosen from 91 competing submissions, reports the Associated Press. About $1.5 million was privately raised to create and maintain the new monument and for an associated educational program.'My hope is that all people, but especially young people, will be inspired by this image of women of different races, different religious backgrounds and different economic status working together to change the world,' Bergmann said after the vote.Central Park already has almost two dozen statues honoring men who had an impact on history, including Beethoven, Christopher Columbus, and even Cuban poet and national hero Jose Marti, as well as a few lesser known names like Fitz-Greene Halleck. Halleck was probably 'a poet you've never heard of, for good reason,' wrote the Daily News in an editorial in support of the statue honoring Anthony, Cady Stanton and Truth, all New Yorkers.Until now, there hasn't been a single monument in the park honoring women who made their mark on history. There are statues of fictional, female characters, including Mother Goose and Alice in Wonderland. There's even Romeo's Juliet, which comes with a version of him planting a smooch on her.There's no man necessary to share the limelight w
