In 1850 around the number of 900 people mainly women but some men attended this convention to hear problems surrounding womens sufferage as well as other social issues. This convention would also touch bases on civil rights issues during the time aswell. At the convention they would disscuss topics such as wages, education, career opertunities, and marriage. The convention would later become a annual meeting where women would discuss these topics to further inform others on the things they deserved.
This event is signifigant because it was not only one of the first womens conventions but it was the first national womens convention that discussed the rights the women deserved. Conventions like these changed the view that not only women had about themselves but also the way some men felt about women. Once the women had a different perspective on the way they should be treated they gained the confidence to push foward with making change for the future. It could be argued that the knowledge the women gained from these conventions is what led to where we are today with rights of women.
