This original newspaper contains an inside page headline: "WOMAN'S RIGHTS CONVENTION" with a 1/4 column report of the 1852 WOMAN'S RIGHT CONVENTION in Syracuse, NY. Leaders of this early Woman's Rights Convention included LUCY STONE and LUCRETIA MOTT. The 1852 Woman's Rights Convention was held in Syracuse, New York, on September 8-10. Elizabeth Cady Stanton again sent a letter instead of appearing in person. This occasion was notable for the first public speeches on women's rights by two women who would become leaders in the movement: Susan B. Anthony and Matilda Joslyn Gage. Lucy Stone wore a "bloomer costume." A motion to form a national organization was defeated. Previous Womn's Rights Conventions leading up to the 1852 Syracuse Convention: The 1848 Seneca Falls Women's Rights Convention, which was called on short notice and was more of a regional meeting, called for "a series of conventions, embracing every part of the country." The 1848 regional event held in upstate New York was followed by other regional Woman's Rights Conventions in Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania. That meeting's resolutions called for woman suffrage (the right to vote), and later conventions also included this call. But each meeting included other women's rights issues as well. The 1850 meeting was the first to consider itself a national meeting. The meeting was planned after an Anti-Slavery Society meeting by nine women and two men. These included Lucy Stone, Abby Kelley Foster, Paulina Wright Davis and Harriot Kezia Hunt. Stone served as secretary, though she was kept from part of the preparation by a family crisis, and then contracted typhoid fever. Davis did most of the planning. Elizabeth Cady Stanton missed the convention because she was in late pregnancy at the time. The 1850 Woman's Rights Convention was held on October 23 and 24 in Worcester, Massachusetts. The 1848 regional event in Seneca Falls, New York, had been attended by 300, with 100 signing the Declaration of Sentiments. The 1850 National Woman's Rights Convention was attended by 900 on the first day. Paulina Kellogg Wright Davis was chosen as president. Other women speakers included Harriot Kezia Hunt, Ernestine Rose, Antoinette Brown, Sojourner Truth, Abby Foster Kelley, Abby Price and Lucretia Mott. Lucy Stone only spoke on the second day. Many reporters attended and wrote of the gathering. Some wrote mockingly, but others, including Horace Greeley, took the event quite seriously. The printed proceedings were sold after the event as a way of spreading the word about women's rights. The British writers Harriet Taylor and Harriet Martineau took note of the event, Taylor responding with The Enfranchisement of Women. In 1851, the second National Woman's Rights Convention took place on October 15 and 16, also in Worcester. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, unable to attend, sent a letter. Elizabeth Oakes Smith was among the speakers who were added to those of the previous year. Good condition. Some very small paper loss at center horizontal fold.
