The Seneca Falls Convention, held in Seneca Falls, NY, in 1848, was the first convention held for the specific purpose of achieving equal rights for women. It is widely regarded as the beginning of the organized women's rights movement in the U.S. Among the organizers were radical local Quakers and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and attended by Lucretia Mott, the foremost speaker for women's rights at the time, Frederick Douglass, and about 300 other men and women. The convention adopted after debate a Declaration of Sentiments prepared by Stanton, advocating a broad platform of equal rights for men and women, including the right to vote. The Seneca Falls Convention was followed by several other conventions and the development of national groups advocating and agitating for women's rights.

Is the word meeting an adjective?

No, the word 'meeting' can be used as either a verb or a noun. Meeting can mean a place where you gather, i.e.: Sally went to a meeting. It can also be used as a verb, to mean that you will meet someone, i.e.: Xavier is meeting his cousin this afternoon. =============================================================================== "Meeting" can be used as an adjective, although not very often. In "a meeting place," or "a meeting hall," the word "meeting" modifies the nouns "place" and "hall." (Some, however, would claim that "meeting place" and "meeting hall" are simply compound nouns.)
