Declaration of Independence
The Declaration of Independence of Sentiments, crafted during the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848, parallels the Declaration of Independence in its structure and purpose. Both documents assert the rights of individuals and outline grievances against an oppressive authority—in this case, the male-dominated society limiting women's rights. Just as the original Declaration called for freedom from British rule, the Declaration of Independence of Sentiments demands equality and justice for women, highlighting the need for societal reform. Both serve as foundational texts advocating for liberation and equality.
