- Mid-1800's
- Women didn't have many rights until the mid-19th century. Women were not encouraged to attend college and were instead expected to marry and care for their children, husbands, and families. They were completely reliant on their husbands once they married. Women were unable to own property and were required to give their income to their husbands. They were also banned from voting.
- 1848
- Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott convened the first women's rights convention in the United States in 1848. The Seneca Falls Convention, held in Seneca Falls, New York, drew over 300 people, the majority of whom were women. They wished to be regarded as people rather than as men's servants. They wanted for additional job and educational options. They desired the ability to run for office, speak before Congress, and vote.
- The Seneca Falls Convention was the first women's rights convention in the United States.
- Sojourner Truth
- The Seneca Falls Convention was attended mostly by white women, even though northern states like New York had outlawed enslavement. But in 1851, Black women, such as Sojourner Truth, a former enslaved person who became a women’s and civil rights advocate, attended the Women’s Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio.
- The movement for women’s suffrage wasn’t always peaceful. In the early 1900s, women started using methods that they thought would bring more attention to the cause, and they were often punished for expressing their opinions.
- Not So Peaceful1900s
- Woman Are Important!1917
- On April 6, 1917, the United States entered World War I. Many men went to Europe to fight, and many women volunteered there as nurses. Women also filled jobs in the states that had been held by the men now overseas. Realizing how important women were, President Woodrow Wilson changed his mind about the suffrage movement and started supporting women’s right to vote.
- 1920
- Many states, including New York, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Michigan, had already approved women's suffrage and were among the first to ratify the act, thanks to years of struggle by the National American Woman Suffrage Association and the National Association for Colored Women. Tennessee became the 36th and final state to join the cause in 1920. The 19th Amendment was passed, giving women in the United States the right to vote for the first time.
