Impact on Women's Suffrage

When
June 1840 (exclusion; impact developed afterwards)
Where
London
Part of
World Anti-Slavery Convention at Exeter Hall, London

The exclusion of women gave a great impetus to the women's suffrage movement in the United States, a development that unfolded after the June 1840 convention.

The exclusion of women from the convention gave a great impetus to the women's suffrage movement in the United States. Lucretia Mott formed the idea of reforming the position of women in society when she was amongst the women excluded from the convention. The impetus developed after the June 1840 exclusion rather than within that month itself.
