The Declaration of Sentiments or the Declaration of Rights and Sentiments[1] is a paper signed by 68 women and 32 men at the one of the first women's rights meetings. It was signed in Seneca Falls, New York. The meeting is now called the Seneca Falls Convention. It’s main writer was Elizabeth Cady Stanton. She based it on the United States Declaration of Independence. She was a large planner of the convention along with Lucretia Mott and Martha Coffin Wright.
The North Star, a newspaper by Frederick Douglass, said the paper was a "big movement for getting the civil, social, political, and religious rights of women."[2][3]
