In the early 19th century, many women showed their support for the temperance movement because of the dangerous effect alcohol had on society and on their husbands. In 1848, women, such as Lucretia Mott & Elizabeth Cady Stanton, worked together to organize the Seneca Falls Convention. They signed the Declaration of Sentiments, a document mirroring the Declaration of Independence, outlining women's equality issues. When the inclusion of a woman's right to vote was made in the Declaration of Sentiments, it lost many supporters. Opponents believed that women did not have the knowledge needed in order to vote, and instead belonged in the domestic sphere, out of the reach of politics. However, the convention mobilized women across the country to stand up for equality. It encouraged women to vote, work outside the home, and gain an education, aside from the traditional domestic duties they were accustomed to. Other important women, such as Susan B. Anthony, joined the fight in 1850, traveling the country to let their messages be heard. Sojourner Truth spoke up for women of color across the nation. These important women's actions & their organization of the Seneca Falls Convention paved the way for the 19th amendment to be passed in 1920.
