The response to early feminist efforts ranges from silence to outrage. Some working-class and African American women express skepticism that this movement has anything to do with them. There are prominent exceptions like Sojourner Truth, a former slave and black anti-slavery activist who is also a feminist. In 1848, 350 women and men attend a women's rights meeting in Seneca Falls, New York to draft a "Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions." Women do not gain much ground in their pursuit of the vote, but in terms of other legal rights they do get a more sympathetic hearing.
