“We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men and women are created equal” is not just a line from Hamilton it was written by Elizabeth Cady Stanton who wrote the Declaration of sentiments in 1848 in Seneca Falls NY at the first Woman's rights convention. Where 300 people attended including 40 men. The meeting lasted two days on July 19th and 20th in the Wesleyan Chapel.  Not only were women's rights discussed but human rights. Three years after in Seneca falls there was an antislavery meeting where she met Susan B Anthony the two had a lifelong friendship and traveled the country. The two started a newspaper called The Revolution. the paper was printed from January 1868 to February 1872 it mostly covered women’s rights, prohibiting discrimination against woman’s voting and, woman’s suffrage. Sadly of the 68 women that signed the Declaration of sentiments in Seneca falls only one woman would live to see the 19th amendment be added to the declaration of independence in 1920 at the age of 91 where she was able to vote
