| 词条 | Mob Convention |
| 释义 | Mob Convention United States history formally Women's Rights Convention woman suffrage meeting, held September 6–7, 1853, in New York City, that earned its popular label owing to the numerous disruptions to it by protesters. The New York state meeting of the Women's Rights Convention was attended by some 3,000 people and was the culmination of a series of unpopular reform meetings held in the city that week. Spurred on, in part, by negative press coverage, protesters continually interrupted the meeting, and police failed to intervene. The convention, which marked the first public demonstration against woman suffrage, highlighted the opposition suffragists faced in their struggle to secure women's right to vote. (For the text of Sojourner Truth (Truth, Sojourner)'s speech given at the convention, see What Time of Night It Is (Sojourner Truth: What Time of Night It Is (1853)).) |
