Women

1848 – Seneca Falls Convention Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton organized – First women’s rights convention in history – Issued Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions Modeled after Declaration of Independence Demanded same rights as men – Right to vote was one of the top priorities Beginning of Suffrage Movement

Civil War Women played important role during the war, hoped to be rewarded with equal rights African-American freedom also gave them some hope of attaining equality

14 th and 15 th Amendments Wording dealt specifically with African- Americans, therefore… – Women were not afforded any more rights as a result of the amendments – Women’s rights proponents encouraged black leaders to force inclusion of privileges for women, but they did not – Former slaves (males, in particular) now had (theoretically) more rights than women, white or black

Out West Western states were far more amenable to granting women rights – Smaller populations – More equal work in farming Wyoming is first state to allow female voters (1890) – Many other Western states soon follow

1890 – NAWSA National American Women’s Suffrage Association – Conservative organization of suffragists – Tried to attain voting rights on a state level – Created newspapers, pamphlets, books – Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Carrie Chapman Catt were all members

National Association Opposed to Women’s Suffrage Unladylike, voting would solve problems anyway Believed in piety, purity, domesticity, and submissiveness Supported by men, but composed of women

1912 – Bull Moose Party Running as a third-party candidate, Theodore Roosevelt adopts suffrage as part of his platform – Legitimized cause, helped national attention

Alice Paul Radical suffragist – Exposed to radicalism in London – Hunger-strikes, marches Formed National Women’s Party – Sought constitutional amendment for suffrage – Picketed White House, non-violent protest, hunger strikes

Jeannette Rankin First female member of Congress – 1916 – Montana – First action was to vote against joining WWI – Worked for women’s rights from within government “How shall we explain to them the meaning of democracy if the same Congress that voted to make the world safe for democracy refuses to give this small measure of democracy to the women of our country?”

19 th Amendment The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.
