The American Woman Suffrage Movement 1848-1920

Seneca Falls, NY 1848 In early 1800s, women involved in abolition (no slavery), temperance (no alcohol) Group of men and women gather in Seneca Falls, NY in 1848 Led by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott Write Declaration of Sentiments

Fifteenth Amendment, 1871 Grants African-American men the right to vote Disappoints many women who thought African American men and women would be enfranchised together African Americans split over whether men should get vote before women

Before 1910 Women’s suffrage movement splits, but then unites in 1890 National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) Big leaders: Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton Two big strategies: Try to win suffrage state-by-state Try to pass a Constitutional Amendment (but this would need to be ratified by 36 states--or three-fourths)

Anti-Suffragists: Those who opposed suffrage (many “Anti’s” were women)

Arguments of Anti-Suffragists: Women were high-strung, irrational, emotional Women were not smart or educated enough Women should stay at home Women were too physically frail; they would get tired just walking to the polling station Women would become masculine if they voted
