 Organized by local Quakers and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the two-day meeting featured discussions and debates on a document called the Declaration of Sentiments along with 11 other resolutions calling for equal rights for women. Stanton had authored the Declaration of Sentiments, modeling it closely after the Declaration of Independence. 100 of the 300 attendees of the convention, that's 68 women and 32 men, would sign the Declaration.
