Explanation:

The Seneca Falls Convention was the first convention on women's rights in the United States, held from July 19 to July 20, 1848, in Seneca Falls, New York. It was organized by Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. The result was the publication of the Declaration of Seneca Falls (or Declaration of Feelings, as they called it), a document based on the Declaration of Independence of the United States in which they denounced the restrictions, especially policies, to which they were submitted women: not be able to vote, or stand for election, or hold public office, or affiliate with political organizations, or attend political meetings. The text is considered the founding text of the feminist movement.

It is from the Seneca Falls Convention, using language that was adapted from the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson originally wrote the Declaration as "all men are created equal". it was at the Seneca Falls Convention, the first women's rights convention, that the statement was adapted to be more inclusive towards women.
