 only white, land owners over the age of 21 may vote  any white, male citizen of the US may vote  1860s- BOTH women and African-Americans are trying to get the right to vote  African-Americans get the right to vote  Women continue to try to get the right to vote  Right to vote extended to women.

No right to…  Vote  Have any saw in the laws  Own property  Be educated for certain jobs (doctors and lawyers) The limits on the rights of women helped to make women dependent on men.

 Susan B. Anthony- activist who fought for the rights of women and African-Americans. Died in  Elizabeth Cady Stanton- abolitionist and leading figure in women’s rights movement. Organized against the limits placed on women and for women’s suffrage  Carrie Chapman Catt- Women’s Suffrage leader who campaign for a constitutional amendment for women’s suffrage

 Western States of the United States granted voting rights to women before the rest of the country  Wyoming is the first to allow women to vote in 1869  Women’s Suffrage served to be a pull factor, encouraged migration to the west

 Many opposed granting women’s suffrage. They believed that voting would cause women to…  Neglect their family  Dominant decision making  Gain more power  Besides, if the founding fathers of the Constitution wanted to give them the right to vote, they would have written that into the Constitution.

 Helped out greatly in the war effort- felt they should get full rights in a democracy  Instead they felt they were giving to democracy, but they were being denied it in their own country  Peacefully protested lack of voting rights during the war  Some did not like that they were protesting during a war  Some women were arrested, fined and placed in jail  Continued to march in parades, protest and argue for their right to vote in a representative democracy

 Under pressure, President Woodrow Wilson finally supports women’s suffrage  He urges Congress to pass a constitutional amendment giving women the right to vote  ¾ of the states have to approve of it too. Tennessee is the last state needed to pass it in order for it to become an amendment.  The 19 th amendment is passed and gives women the right to vote in 1920.
