Ain’t I A Woman
Famously misquoted, the earliest most accurate transcription of her speech does not include the line "Ain't I a woman?" The closest line is "I am a woman's rights." https://www.thesojournertruthproject.com/compare-the-speeches/

The Seneca Falls Convention was attended mostly by white women, even though northern states like New York had outlawed enslavement
Slavery had been outlawed in 1827 in the state of New York, 21 years prior to this convention. This indicates to me that from the outset of the Suffragist movement it was focused on white women. Perhaps though there were earlier gatherings put together by black women that are not included here, or that would possibly have been lumped in with the abolitionist movement.
