The American Women’s Suffrage Movement 1848-1920 Right to vote= Suffrage

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- designed after the declaration of independence. Lists the rights desired by women in the U.S.

Fifteenth Amendment, 1871 Grants African-American men the right to vote Disappoints many women who thought African American men and women would be enfranchised (given the right to vote) together

Sojourner Truth, 1869 “There is a great stir about colored men getting their rights, but not a word about the colored women . . . And if colored men get their rights, and not colored women theirs, you see the colored men will be masters over the women, and it will be just as bad as it was before.”

Susan B. Anthony Susan B. Anthony tried several times to introduce an Amendment bill to Congress, but it was always killed in the Senate.

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

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

19th Amendment, 1920 “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.
