Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. —19th Amendment to the United States Constitution In 1920, after decades of tireless activism by countless determined suffragists, American women were finally guaranteed the right to vote. The year 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment. It was ratified by the states on August 18, 1920 and certified as an amendment to the US Constitution on August 26, 1920. Developed in partnership with the National Park Service, this publication weaves together multiple stories about the quest for women’s suffrage across the country, including those who opposed it, the role of allies and other civil rights movements, who was left behind, and how the battle differed in communities across the United States. Explore the complex history and pivotal moments that led to ratification of the 19th Amendment as well as the places where that history happened and its continued impact today. 0-31857-0 Cover Barcode-Arial.pdf 1 2/17/20 1:58 PM $14.95 ISBN 978-1-68184-267-7 51495 9 781681 842677 The National Park Service is a bureau within the Department Front cover: League of Women Voters poster, 1920. of the Interior.

  • Catherine Blaine
    Catherine Blaine http://columbia.washingtonhistory.org/lessons/blaineMSHS.aspx SEARCH: Home Visit Us Get Involved Education Research WA Collections Heritage Services The Society The Journey of Catharine Paine Blaine FOR MIDDLE/HIGH SCHOOL Summary: Women played a vital role in the settlement of the West, both in the creation of frontier towns and in promoting political ideals. Many of the women who settled in the West brought with them ideals that they had learned at home in the East Coast. Reform movements that had begun back East often took root in the territories in which these women came to live. This lesson plan examines the life of Catharine Paine Blaine, missionary, schoolteacher, and women’s rights activist who traveled from Seneca Falls, New York to Washington Territory in the 1850s. Students will examine primary sources and make connections to their own experiences, mapping the route that the Blaines took to reach Seattle from Seneca Falls. Using everyday items that Catharine brought with her to the Pacific Northwest, your students will explore how eastern settlers brought both objects and ideas with them as they traveled. Essential Academic Learning Requirements (EALRs): This lesson plan satisfies Washington state standards in Social Studies, Civics, Reading, Writing, and Art. It may also be used to fulfill a Dig Deep Classroom-Based Assessment. This lesson plan also meets New York state’s Social Studies standards 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 3.2, 5.1, and 5.3. Essential Questions for Students: What did Catharine experience when she traveled from New York to Washington Territory? What dangers did women settlers face when moving west? How can people change the places in which they live? What kind of change did Catharine Paine Blaine bring to the Pacific Northwest? What is a reform movement? How did eastern ideas change the lives of people in the West? What were some of the specific problems that American reformers wanted to solve in the late-19th century? Primary Sources for Student Understanding: 1.

  • Kathy King Statement – Speak to Me
    Kathy King Statement – Speak to Me The birth of our country revolved, in part, around freedom of religion, which in turn wove an often- explosive tale concerning cultural interest in spiritualism. As we know, the tug-of-war between spiritualists with their ability or interest to “speak to the beyond” conflicted with early Puritan beliefs, resulting in well- known tragedies such as the Salem Witch trials. Those that challenged or confused the religious doctrine of the time were most often women. Years later, Victorian America (1837-1901) produced cases of women who were identified as psychic mediums and spiritualists who aligned themselves with both the rights of women as well as people of color. Many attained a modicum of celebrity in doing so such as the Fox sisters of Hydesville, New York in 1848 to the great Victoria Woodhull, a somewhat ignored leader in the women’s suffrage movement who was not only one the first woman-owner of a Wall Street brokerage firm but also declared herself the first woman candidate for the Presidency in 1872. This work does not share the biography of such individuals but instead explores the embodiment of power attained by women identified as spiritualists. In a time where women had little power or voice beyond the confines of the domestic space, those identified as being able to communicate with those that have “passed on” certainly rocked the boat regarding the identity of women as the quiet, unassuming caregiver, domestic servant and sexual object. This point of exchange is what interests me - the temporary slip from one role guided by social norms to one of spectacular interest and importance.

  • About the Author for INCIDENTS in the LIFE of a SLAVE GIRL
    About the Author for INCIDENTS IN THE LIFE OF A SLAVE GIRL Harriet Ann Jacobs Personal Background “God . gave me a soul that burned for freedom and a heart nerved with determination to suffer even unto death in pursuit of liberty.” In this excerpt from a letter written by Harriet Jacobs to her friend, the abolitionist Amy Post, Jacobs expresses her determination to continue her quest for freedom. Dated October 9, 1853 — less than two years after Jacobs was freed — the letter was written in response to Post’s suggestion that Jacobs tell the story of her abuse and exploitation as an enslaved black woman. Eight years later, in 1861 — the same year that marked the beginning of the Civil War — Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, Written by Her- self was published in Boston. According to the chronology of Jacobs’s life compiled by her autobiogra- pher, Jean Fagan Yellin, the events described in Incidents narrated by “Linda Brent” mirror key incidents of Jacobs’ life. Early Years Harriet Ann Jacobs was born at Edenton, North Carolina, in 1813 to Delilah, the daughter of Molly Horniblow (Aunt Martha), the slave of Margaret Horniblow, and to Daniel Jacobs, a carpenter, the slave of Dr. Andrew Knox. When she was only six years old, Jacobs’ mother died, and Jacobs was taken into the household of her mistress, Margaret Horniblow, who taught her to read, spell, and sew. When she was 12, Margaret Horniblow died and willed Harriet to her five-year-old niece, Mary Matilda Norcom (Miss Emily). As a result, Harriet and her brother, John S.
