Anti-Slavery Convention of American Women : ウィキペディア英語版 | Anti-Slavery Convention of American Women The first Anti-Slavery Convention of American Women was held on May 9, 1837.〔Yellin, Jean Fagan, and John C. Horne. ''The Abolitionist Sisterhood: Women's Political Culture in Antebellum America''. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1994. Print. ISBN 0-8014-8011-6〕 One hundred and seventy-five women, from ten different states and representing twenty female antislavery groups, gathered in New York City to discuss their role in the American abolition movement. This gathering represented the first time that women from such a broad geographic area met with the common purpose of promoting the anti-slavery cause among women. Mary S. Parker was the President of the gathering. Other prominent women went on to be vocal members of the Women's Suffrage Movement, including Lucretia Mott, the Grimké Sisters, and Lydia Maria Child. The attendees included women of color, the wives and daughters of slaveholders, and women of low economic status. Professor Ann D. Gordon has described the Anti-Slavery Convention of American Women as the first convention at which women discussed women's rights, especially the rights of African-American women. The 1848 Seneca Falls Convention was the first convention of women devoted exclusively to women's rights and promoted as such decades later by convention organizer Elizabeth Cady Stanton.〔 In June 1848, the rights of women were also discussed at the National Liberty Party Convention in New York at which Gerrit Smith said that women should be able to vote.〕 ==Attendees== Convention records indicate that attendees were from the following states: New Hampshire (2), Massachusetts (26), Rhode Island (5), New York (109), New Jersey (1), Pennsylvania (25), Maine (1), Connecticut (2), Ohio (2), and South Carolina (2).〔Salerno, Beth A..
