 The [[Seneca Falls Convention]] was the first women's rights convention and is today generally considered to be the origin of feminism by both [[feminists]] and [[anti-feminist]]s, although the word itself was coined by [[Charles Fourier]] in 1837.

Held in the Wesleyan Chapel of the town of Seneca Falls, New York, it spanned two days over July 19–20, 1848.
