The Declaration of Sentiments, also known as the Declaration of Rights and Sentiments, is a document signed in 1848 at the first women's rights convention to be organized by women. Held in Seneca Falls, New York, the convention is now known as the Seneca Falls Convention. The principal author of the Declaration was Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who modeled it upon the United States Declaration of Independence.

Essentially, the Declaration of Sentiments is a remix of the Declaration of Independence. Rather than simply making a list of demands, Stanton drew upon on the history of the new nation, challenging readers to extend the logic of beliefs they already held.

Notes

It clarified the issue through contrast with the Declaration of Independence. It was seen as controversial at the time, so it was read and discussed at a time when these were ignored and dismissed.
