Separate spheres : law, faith, tradition -- Fashioning a better world -- Seneca Falls -- The women's movement begins, 1850-1860 -- War, disillusionment, division -- Friction and reunification, 1870-1890 -- Epilogue : "Make the world better" -- Appendix.
Subject: In a quiet town of Seneca Falls, New York, over the course of two days in July 1848, a small group of women and men, led by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott, held a convention that would launch the woman's rights movement and change the course of history. The implications of the remarkable convention would be felt around the world and are still being felt today. Looking back at the convention two years later, Susan B. Anthony called it "the grandest and greatest reform of all time and destined to be thus regarded by the future historian." This author may well be the future historian Anthony was hoping to find.
