Woodrow Wilson, Carrie Chapman Catt, And Susan B. Anthony

would eventually snowball into one of the most remembered suffrage movements in the history of the United States (Revolutionary Changes and Limitations). The women’s suffrage movement picked up speed in the 1840-1920 when women such as Susan B. Anthony, Carrie Chapman Catt, and Alice Paul came into the spot light. These women spearheaded the women suffrage movement by forming parties, parading, debating, and protesting. The most renowned women suffrage parties that were created during the 1840-1920 was

The Women’s Suffrage Era “The only Question left to be settled now is: Are Women Persons?” Susan Brownell Anthony inquired in a speech she divulged during the 1800s after she was arrested and fined for voting the year before (women 's rights to the suffrage pg. 2). During the 1900s, and many years before that, women became vile to the fact of feeling suppressed. Two particular women became repulsive to the fact that women voting was a taboo subject. Because of the impact, these women had on the society

Introduction The Women’s Suffrage Movement was a political struggle, in which women protested and assembled to vote and run for office. The idea that women could not vote, run for office, be represented in the workplace, nor serve on juries contradicted early ideas that the American woman was a protector of the concepts of freedom and righteousness. The American suffrage movement originated from the Seneca Falls Convention of 1848 (history.com). At this convention, women alongside a few men worked

organization in the United States, was formed in 1890 by the merging of two rival suffrage groups, the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) and the American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA). Elizabeth Cady Stanton, founder of the NWSA alongside Susan B. Anthony, spoke at the first women’s rights convention at Seneca Falls, New York and declared “We are assembled to protest against a form

The Women’s Rights Movement was a long and persistent battle fought by many brave female advocates that came before us such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott and Susan B. Anthony. These women selflessly dedicated their lives to the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which forever changed the lives of womankind in America. Prior to their efforts, the United States was still in shambles over the Civil War and spent most of its focus on rebuilding the country and securing rights to African American

The Inevitable: An Analysis of Carrie Chapman Catt’s Address to the United States Congress (1917) In November 1917, Carrie Chapman Catt, leader of National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA), gave an address to the United States Congress expressing her belief that woman’s suffrage was inevitable, and requesting that Congress see it as such and vote to pass the amendment. Catt’s speech was based on facts and figures (ethos) from our own country’s history, logic, reasoning, and common sense

NWSA, which was based in New York, relied on its statewide network but also drew recruits from around the nation, largely on the basis of the extensive speaking circuit of Stanton and Anthony. Neither group attracted broad support from women, or persuaded male politicians or voters to adopt its cause. Susan B. Anthony and Ida H. Harper cowrote, “In the indifference, the inertia, the apathy of women, lies the greatest obstacle to their enfranchisement.” Historian Nancy Woloch described early suffragists’

Rights Association was founded by veteran reformers Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Lucy Stone (Jones, 387). The Equal Rights Association was created to link the rights of white women and African Americans. However, due to Kansas voters who defeated a referendum proposing suffrage for both African Americans and white women in 1867, the two causes decided to separate. In 1869, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony found the National Women Suffrage Association (NWSA) while Lucy Stone

During this time, Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton organized the Seneca Falls Convention. Shortly after in 1951, Susan B. Anthony joined the two previously states activists and they founded the Women’s National Loyal League (WNLL) in the main attempt to abolish slavery and gain full citizenship for African Americans and women. Shortly after slavery was abolished, Anthony and Stanton formed the National Women Suffrage Association (NWSA), in 1869. This was delegated as being a more radical organization

American Woman Brenda R. Dople HIS 204: American History Since 1865 Timothy Smith October 7, 2012 As a woman myself, it is hard to imagine a time when I would not have been allowed to attend college, let alone be writing this paper. As children most of us heard stories from our grandparent’s about what life was like they were young. I can remember laughing at the thought of “walking up hill both ways” to get to school. With the liberties American Women have today, it is easy to take for granted
