THE SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT It’s about freaken time!

SUFFRAGE The right to vote.

JULY 1848  Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott organized the first women’s rights convention in Seneca Falls, New York.

EARLY PROBLEMS WITH THE MOVEMENT  Women were accused of being unfeminine and immoral.  Before Civil War, movement was weak because supporters also supported the abolition movement.  The 14 th and 15 th Amendments left women out.  The suffrage movement split into two groups, which weakened the movement as well.

SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT American Woman Suffrage Association  Led by Lucy Stone and Julia Ward Howe.  Believed that the best strategy was to convince state governments to give women the right to vote before trying to amend the Constitution. The National Woman Suffrage Association  Led by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony  Wanted to focus on passing a constitutional amendment allowing woman suffrage.

THE MOVEMENT GAINS SUPPORT  Wyoming  Idaho  Utah  Colorado

NATIONAL AMERICAN WOMAN SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION  Women started to support the movement during the Progressive Era.  They started to realize that the only way to change society was by voting.  By the end of 1912, Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona and Kansas had granted women the right to vote.

I AM WOMAN, HEAR ME ROAR!  March 13, the day before President Wilson’s inauguration, suffragists marched in Washington, D.C. to draw attention to their cause.

NATIONAL WOMAN’S PARTY  Headed by Alice Paul  Jailed three times for demonstrating for woman suffrage.  Her supporters picketed the White House, blocked side walks,  Chained themselves to lampposts, and went on hunger strikes if arrested.

NATIONAL AMERICAN WOMAN SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION-(NAWSA)  In 1915 Carrie Chapman Catt developed “Winning Plan”  She threw NAWSA support behind Wilson even though he didn’t support a woman’s suffrage movement, but he did support the Democratic Party's call for states to give women the right to vote.

THE 19 TH AMENDMENT  In 1918, the House of Representatives passed a women’s suffrage amendment and Wilson asked the Senate to vote for the amendment.  It did not pass the Senate by two votes.  June 1919, the Senate finally voted to pass the amendment.  August 26, 1920 the states voted to ratify the 19 th Amendment guaranteeing women the right to vote.
