In Seneca Falls and Waterloo, a group of five women began a movement for women's rights that transformed American society. In 1848, they called reformers from across the Northeast to the Wesleyan Chapel in Seneca Falls, where for two days as many as 300 women and men considered the role of women in a democratic society and produced the Declaration of Sentiments, a document that shaped a reform movement for decades and continues to matter today. Among the movement's organizers were Mary Ann and Thomas M'Clintock, whose family had moved from Philadelphia to Waterloo in 1836 and found a community hospitable to their family, business, faith, and activism. As Quakers, they worked to end slavery and other oppressions of the human spirit, and in their home, along with the drugstore and bookstore in the business block immediately behind it, they created a focal point for human rights advocates in the Waterloo area. On July 16, 1848, the M'Clintocks welcomed Elizabeth Cady Stanton and others into their home to prepare for the First Women's Rights Convention, extending their family's universal belief in equal rights for all into the struggle for equal rights for women.
