Preparing the Way for Suffrage
American women activists first demanded the right to vote in 1848 at the Seneca Falls Convention in New York. The movement eventually split into two groups: The National Woman Suffrage Association fought for a constitutional amendment for suffrage. The American Woman Suffrage Association worked to win voting rights on the state level. In 1890, Wyoming entered the union and became the first state to grant women the right to vote. In 1872, in an act of civil disobedience, a suffrage leader, Susan B. Anthony, insisted on voting in Rochester, New York. She was arrested for this act.
