Feminism grew out of the broader reform movements of the 19th century, particularly the abolitionist movement and the temperance movement. Many women involved in these efforts began to recognize the parallels between their struggles for social justice and women's rights. This realization led to organized efforts advocating for gender equality, culminating in significant events such as the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848, which marked the formal beginning of the women's rights movement.
