Largely as a result of the Second Great Awakening, women of the early 1800s began to take on more active roles in public life. Women Begin the Fight for Rights Main Idea:Real progress in women’s rights began in the 1830s when many urban middle-class northern women began to hire poor women to do their housework and had more time to think about the society in which they wanted to raise their children. At this same time, women began to see their own social restrictions as being comparable to slavery and began to work for rights. Women Convene in Seneca Falls Main Idea:The 1848 Seneca Falls Convention attracted hundreds of men and women, including Frederick Douglass. The convention resulted in few concrete improvements in women’s rights. It did, however, mark the beginning of the women’s movement in the United States.
