Explanation:
Alexandria was founded by Alexander the Great in Northern Egypt, on the Mediterranean Coast in 331 BCE. This city became the most important cultural and commercial node of the Mediterranean Sea and the most relevant city of the Hellenistic period, until the rise of the Roman Empire. Alexandria was the main center for the cultural renewal of the Ancient Greek world. The Library of Alexandria was the largest library in the world at that time, philosophers and scientists from diverse regions gathered in that city and worked on different studies in fields like medicine, astronomy, mathematics, literature, art, engineering, among many others. The Pharos of Alexandria was a large lighthouse built to help navigators to arrive at the port of Alexandria, but it was also a symbol of the light of wisdom and knowledge that Alexandria represented for the ancient world.

The "Declaration of Sentiments" was an important document in the early years of the <u>WOMEN'S RIGHTS MOVEMENT</u>.
Context/details:
The national meeting held in Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848, was the first women's rights convention to be held in the United States, and was organized by women. Elizabeth Cady Stanton was one of the principal organizers of the gathering, and also was the lead author of an important document issued by what we now call the "Seneca Falls Convention." The <em>Declaration of Sentiments </em>was signed by 68 women and 32 men who had been among the participants in the convention. The document was modeled after Thomas Jefferson's <em>Declaration of Independence</em>. In the way that Jefferson had listed grievances against the British monarchy, the <em>Declaration of Sentiments</em> listed grievances against how man had oppressed woman in regard to civil rights. Here's a small sample of some of the "sentiments" which were expressed:
<em>The history of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpation on the part of man toward woman, having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over her. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world:</em>
- <em>He has not ever permitted her to exercise her inalienable right to the elective franchise.</em>
- <em>He has compelled her to submit to laws, in the formation of which she had no voice.</em>
- <em>He has withheld her from rights which are given to the most ignorant and degraded men—both natives and foreigners.</em>
- <em>Having deprived her of this first right as a citizen, the elective franchise, thereby leaving her without representation in the halls of legislation, he has oppressed her on all sides.</em>
