The Seneca Falls Convention of 1848 was the beginning of an organized movement by women to reach equality in the United States. In 1920, the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provided women the right to vote in national elections. The women's movement continued to work toward economic and social equality, making great progress in the "Second Wave" of feminism in the 1960s and 1970s.
