LUCRETIA MOTT AND ELIZABETH CADY STANTON.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton organized the first woman's rights convention in order to get a group of women talking about how change could be enacted, and to make a plan for how they could advance women's rights in America by working together.
The first women's rights movement in the United States was organized by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott. They convened the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848, which is considered the birthplace of the women's rights movement. The convention produced the Declaration of Sentiments, which outlined the injustices faced by women and called for equal rights, including the right to vote. This pivotal event galvanized the movement and inspired future activism for women's rights.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton organized the first women's rights convention in 1848 to address the social, civil, and religious rights of women. She aimed to highlight the inequalities women faced, particularly in areas such as suffrage and property rights. The convention, held in Seneca Falls, New York, produced the Declaration of Sentiments, which called for equal rights and marked a significant moment in the women's rights movement. Stanton's leadership and vision were pivotal in galvanizing support for gender equality.

The very first International Women's Day was organized by the Socialist Party of America in 1909. It was held on February 28, in New York City, to honor the 1908 garment workers' strike and to advocate for women's rights. The idea gained international traction, leading to the first official celebration in 1911 in several European countries. The day has since evolved into a global event to promote women's rights and gender equality.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton organized the first Women's Rights Convention in 1848 when she was a young mother living in Seneca Falls.
