The topic of this paper is on rights of women in history. The Woman's Rights Convention held in Seneca Falls in New York in July 1848 urged for the immediate granting of all the rights and privileges of the disenfranchised half of the entire population - the women -as "aggrieved, oppressed and fraudulently deprived of their most sacred rights" (Woman's Rights Convention 1848) and to reverse or revoke unjust laws then prevailing so as to lift their status as men's equal before the law and in society.
