This week marks the 166th anniversary of the Seneca Falls Convention, the 1848 meeting responsible for making the first formal demand for women’s suffrage.

One-hundred sixty-five years ago this week in 1848, 300 women and men met in Seneca Falls, New York, to plant the seed for the women's suffrage movement.

Today marks the 164th anniversary of the start of the Seneca Falls Convention, when 300 people gathered in Seneca Falls, NY to discuss the role of women in American society.
