    It resulted in a few concrete improvements in women's rights.

    Explanation:

    This convention gave us the Declaration of Sentiments, a manifesto that described women's grievances and demands.

    The declaration began with 19 "abuses and usurpations" that were destined to destroy a woman's "confidence in her own powers, to lessen her self-respect, and to make her willing to lead a dependent and abject life." (Elizabeth Cady Stanton)

    Next came a list of 11 resolutions, which demanded women be regarded as men's equal. The resolutions called on Americans to regard any laws that placed women in an inferior position to men as having "no force or authority." They resolved for women to have equal rights within the church and equal access to jobs.
