In 1848 she helped convene the Seneca Falls Convention and drafted its Declaration of Sentiments, which called for women's suffrage and legal equality. She worked closely with Susan B.

A prolific writer and lecturer, she also authored critiques of religious doctrine, including The Woman's Bible. She died in New York City in 1902.
