“The suffrage movement began in the 1840s, when married women still had no right to property or ownership of their wages; women were shut out of most professions, and the domestic sphere was considered their rightful place.”(Mundy, Lisa)
You want to vote, HA good one.... wait you’re serious?
We have to make a change!
Lets organize factions across the country to campaign for suffrage.
During the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention on women's rights, the delegates unanimously passed resolutions favoring a woman's right to her own wages, to divorce an abusive husband and to be represented in government.
Fast forward 20 years, and the movement was starting to gain some traction. But a new obstacle arised, at the end of the American civil war the 15th amendment was made. It gave African-American men the right to vote. Completely overlooking women, this caused a racial division.
"on January 10, 1918, Jeannette Rankin, a Republican House member from Montana--the first woman elected to Congress--opened debate on the Susan B. Anthony Amendment, which would prohibit states from discriminating against women when it came to voting. On August 18, 1920, Tennessee became the 36th state to ratify it, and the 19th Amendment was promulgated on August 26."(Mundy, Lisa)
