Women in Public Life (1890 – 1920) Chapter 9 Section 2 Notes Women in Public Life (1890 – 1920)

Women in the Work Force In Rural (Farm) Areas: Mostly in South and Midwest Mostly lower class Besides fields, had to care for family, laundry, and cook. A Hard Life! Not much changed compared to past generations

About 20% of women had found their way into the factories to help make money Often excluded from union membership Most popular job = Garment industry (Making clothes and shoes) Paid about ½ as much as men Some sought an education (upper class) which would open more doors for them in the future In Urban (City) areas Factory work was Hard and unsafe. Clip on website of Triangle fire

Educated women (10%) = at least high school degree More graduated high school than men, who frequently dropped out to work in factories. Most common jobs = teaching, secretaries, and nursing Over half that had college degrees never married!

Minority Women Often discriminated against in the business world. Usually totally segregated. Typically cooked and cleaned for wealthy people to earn $$$ outside of the home.

Most women (70%) didn’t work outside the home (did domestic work)

Women become more politically involved Susette La Flesche Spoke on behalf of Native Americans Convinced U.S. to pass Dawes Act of 1887 Transferred reservation land to individuals More freedom for individual Native Americans Tribes lost power and land

Women Lead Reform Bad pay, Bad conditions, Few Opportunities, and feeling trapped on farms or at home made women realize they needed to get rights Triangle Shirtwaist Clip On My Website

The Women’s Suffrage Movement Suffrage = Voting Led by college educated women Half never married Gradually grew in size Very persistent

National Women Suffrage Association (NWSA) Founded by Susan B. Anthony (1869)

Other famous suffragists Elizabeth Cady Stanton Carrie Chapman Catt Alice Paul

3 approaches to get the right to vote 1st = Convince each state Congress Only successful in 4 states by 1900 2nd = Use the court system Tried to convince courts that they were citizens (just like men) and all citizens should have the right to vote. Supreme Court disagreed with the last part of the above statement Local and State Govts. Start to agree 3rd = Get a Constitutional Amendment Took 50 years (more in Sec. 5) 19th Amendment (1920) Woman suffrage clip on my website
