List of women's rights conventions in the United States explained

This is a chronological list of women's rights conventions held in the United States. The first convention in the country to focus solely on women's rights was the Seneca Falls Convention held in the summer of 1848 in Seneca Falls, New York.[1] Prior to that, the first abolitionist convention for women was held in New York City in 1837.[2] Elizabeth Cady Stanton considered the first organized women's rights work to date back to the first National Women's Rights Convention held in 1850.[3]
