In 1848, Mott attended a meeting of the Seneca Nation where she saw women in authority. (women nominated the chief of the tribe even). A few months later, she and Stanton organized the women’s rights convention.
How it could have been better: Spent a lot of time discussing history of women’s rights at the time which was old news for me.
