Why did Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton decide to organize the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848?

-During an antislavery convention, women activists were prevented from speaking, which made them focus on women’s rights.

-The two women saw how effective women organizers were in churches and other religious institutions and wanted to build on that.

-They wanted women to become leaders of a movement because men led the abolitionist and temperance movements.

-Because their involvement in other social movements had failed, they wanted to start something they thought could succeed.
