Editing Seneca Falls Convention (section)

=== Afternoon session ===

The Declaration of Sentiments was read again and more changes were made to it. The resolutions, now numbering eleven with Stanton's addition of women's suffrage, were read aloud and discussed. Lucretia Mott read a humorous newspaper piece written by her sister Martha Wright in which Wright questioned why, after an overworked mother completed the myriad daily tasks that were required of her but not of her husband, ''she'' was the one upon whom written advice was "so lavishly bestowed."<ref name=McMillen92>McMillen, 2008, p. 92.</ref> Twenty-seven-year-old Elizabeth W. M'Clintock then delivered a speech, and the first day's business was called to a close.<ref>{{Cite web|title=National Park Service. Women's Rights.
