Summary:
The Seneca Falls Declaration starts out by referencing the Declaration of Independence in saying "all men and women are created equal." It then goes on to explain the list of grievances that women have in which they have been made below men just like in the Declaration of Independence. These grievances include women not given the right to vote, having to follow laws that they have no say in the formation of, being unable to own land or even their own wages, and many more. It also provides resolutions to these problems that include making women man's equal, that they should be enlightened to the laws which they live under, laws that make women inferior to men should be abolished, and many more. The Seneca Falls Declaration is basically the Declaration of Independence but between women and men rather than the United States and Britain.
