Which reformer organized the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 to advocate women's rights?

• A. Harriet Tubman
• B. Dorothea Dix
• C. William Lloyd Garrison
• D. Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Answer: (D)

Elizabeth Cady Stanton organized the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 to advocate for women's rights. She and Lucretia Mott planned the gathering in Seneca Falls, New York, bringing attention to legal and social inequalities faced by women. Stanton also helped author the Declaration of Sentiments, a document modeled on the Declaration of Independence that urged equal rights for women, including the right to vote. This convention is widely regarded as the starting point of the organized women's rights movement in the United States, setting the stage for future advocacy and reforms.

The other reformers mentioned were influential in different causes—Harriet Tubman in abolition and civil rights, Dorothea Dix in mental health reform, and William Lloyd Garrison in abolition and anti-slavery publishing—but they did not organize this event.
