175 years ago, the Seneca Falls Convention kicked off the fight for women's suffrage – an iconic moment deeply shaped by Quaker beliefs on gender and equality

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, July 18, 2023

The Seneca Falls Convention resulted in the Declaration of Sentiments, a document modeled on the U.S.

Key Points: 
  • The Seneca Falls Convention resulted in the Declaration of Sentiments, a document modeled on the U.S.
  • Four of the convention’s five leaders belonged to this Protestant Christian group, also known as the Religious Society of Friends, whose ideas and community deeply shaped the meeting.
  • This belief led Quakers to recognize women as spiritual leaders, distinguishing them from many other religious groups at the time.

Women’s souls and service

    • As Quaker historian and theologian Ben Pink Dandelion notes, “This intimacy with Christ, this relationship of direct revelation,” has defined Quakerism ever since.
    • The belief in the “inward light” led Fox and others to encourage women’s spiritual leadership.
    • Quakers also established meetings to oversee church business, such as approving marriages, recording births and deaths, and enforcing the faith’s discipline.

Spreading the faith

    • Fox believed women might be reluctant to speak up in the company of men, even though they were men’s spiritual equals.
    • In their business meetings, Quaker women oversaw relief for the poor, appointed committees to visit women who had strayed from church teachings, and testified on spiritual and social concerns.
    • Quakerism attracted a significant number of female converts, some of whom took an active role in spreading the faith.

Acting on faith

    • Indeed, Quakers’ commitment to equality and community led many men and women to become social activists – but not without controversy.
    • Some saw activism as a natural manifestation of Quaker beliefs, but others feared that it threatened the group’s spiritual unity.
    • Congregational Friends believed their faith required them to take steps toward abolishing slavery, and many also felt compelled to seek rights for women.

‘Simply human rights’

    • She and Mott had met during the World’s Anti-Slavery Convention in 1848, held in London, where British organizers refused to recognize the American female delegates because of their gender.
    • Although the women agreed on the necessity of a women’s rights convention, they disagreed on the form and content.
    • Ultimately, the Seneca Falls Convention produced the Declaration of Sentiments, which celebrated women’s worthiness, criticized their subjugation and articulated the rights they deserved.
    • Real change, she believed, would require going to the root of the problem: “mindless tradition and savage greed.” As Mott would later note, “Among Quakers there had never been any talk of woman’s rights – it was simply human rights.”

PITTSBURGH, June 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- If there’s one word that sums up the experience of living in this moment – it’s “noise.” Every problem, conflict, argument, and dispute seem to get amplified – and you are always ready to make it your problem by beaming it right to the device in your pocket.

Key Points: 
  • Acclaimed sculptor Jim West finds this troubling but fascinating.
  • His recent work “ Utterance ” (2022, Bronze, Steel, Light, Resin, Audio) explores this idea with a mischievous wit, giving voice to the shouting heads that fill our channels with noise.
  • The symbolic mixed-media sculpture uses illumination and volume control to explore how humans need to quiet the noise and not talk over one another to hear and be heard.
  • “When I saw Utterance, I knew it would be great to showcase at the Three Rivers Arts Festival (TRAF).
