Soon after the passage of the 19th Amendment in June 1919, and its ratification by the states in August 1920, the voting amendment was interpreted as a broad command for gender equality, although that trend was quickly reversed. This conference brings together scholars from law, history, political science, and women’s studies to engage in a day of intensive scholarly discussion about the implications of the amendment, and its social, legal, and political context. 8:00am Registration and Continental Breakfast (McDowell Common) 8:30am Introduction, Prof. Tracy Thomas, Director of the Center for Constitutional Law 8:35am Introductory Speaker: Nancy Abudu, Deputy Legal Director & Voting Rights Director, Southern Poverty Law Center, Voting Rights Today Introduction: Matthew Brown, Student Editor, ConLawNOW 9:15am Panel 1: Awakening and Advocacy for Women’s Suffrage Moderator: Bernadette Genetin (Akron Law) Tracy Thomas (Akron Law), More Than the Vote: From Seneca Falls to ERA Richard Chused (NY Law), The Women’s Suffrage and Temperance Connection TJ Boisseau (Purdue, History), Fair Treatment: Pro-Suffrage Activism at American World’s Fairs and International Exhibitions Nicole Godfrey (Denver Law), Suffragette Prisoners and the Importance of Protecting Prisoner Protests 10:30am Break 10:45am Panel 2: Amending the Constitution Moderator: CJ Peters (Akron Law) Kimberly Hamlin (Miami U, History), The 19th Amendment: The Fourth Civil War Amendment?

Thomas* Elizabeth Cady Stanton, pioneering leader of the women’s rights movement in the nineteenth century, famously declared the right of women to vote in 1848 at a convention in Seneca Falls, New York.1 She alone initially appreciated the importance of the vote both for women’s political power and participation in the governance of the country, as well as its symbolic meaning for women’s full citizenship.2 Her abolitionist and religious colleagues, however, were suspicious and a bit outraged by the suffrage demand, as these moralistic reformers were opposed to politics which they viewed as fundamentally corrupt due to bribery, patronage, and abuse of power.3 Stanton’s friend and co-organizer Lucretia Mott was worried the demand would make the meeting “look ridiculous” and Stanton’s husband, Henry, dismissed the suffrage claim as a “farce.”4 Nevertheless, they persisted. For seventy-two more years, women activists would fight for the right to vote by organizing annual conventions, creating associations, petitioning legislatures and constitutional conventions, writing editorials, delivering speeches, and campaigning door-to- door for would become the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.5 This nearly-century long movement for suffrage, however, was never, just about the vote.6 It originated as part of a comprehensive plan for women’s equality as proclaimed at Seneca Falls in the women’s Declaration of Sentiments.7 Stanton, the intellectual driver of the first women’s rights movement, conceptualized the vote as only one of the needed rights of women to access the political process.8 The elective franchise was a key piece of reform, to gain women access to the right to make the laws that governed them, but it was never the sole goal.

Ninety-two women were initially sworn in to the 112th Congress, two women Democratic House Members have since resigned, and four others have been elected. This number (94) is lower than the record number of 95 women who were initially elected to the 111th Congress. The first woman elected to Congress was Representative Jeannette Rankin (R-MT, 1917-1919, 1941-1943). The first woman to serve in the Senate was Rebecca Latimer Felton (D-GA). She was appointed in 1922 and served for only one day. A total of 278 women have served in Congress, 178 Democrats and 100 Republicans. Of these women, 239 (153 Democrats, 86 Republicans) have served only in the House of Representatives; 31 (19 Democrats, 12 Republicans) have served only in the Senate; and 8 (6 Democrats, 2 Republicans) have served in both houses. These figures include one non-voting Delegate each from Guam, Hawaii, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Currently serving Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) holds the record for length of service by a woman in Congress with 35 years (10 of which were spent in the House).

  • Long-Form Teacher's Guide for Fight of the Century: Alice Paul
    Long-Form Teacher’s Guide for Fight of the Century: Alice Paul Battles Woodrow Wilson for the Vote by Barb Rosenstock and illustrated by Sarah Green Book Synopsis When Woodrow Wilson was elected President, he didn't know that he would be participating in one of the greatest fights of the century: the battle for women's right to vote. The formidable Alice Paul was a leader in the women's suffrage movement and saw President Wilson's election as an opportunity to win the vote for women. She battered her opponent with endless strategic arguments and carefully coordinated protests, calling for a new amendment granting women the right to vote. With a spirit and determination that never quit--even when peaceful protests were met with violence and even when many women were thrown in jail--Paul eventually convinced President Wilson to support her cause, changing the country forever. Cleverly framed as a boxing match, this book provides a fascinating and compelling look at an important moment in American history. Historical Background Alice Paul was born on January 11, 1885 to Tracie and William Paul in New Jersey. Raised as a Quaker, she and her siblings learned the importance of equality and education, believing that women and men were equal and deserved equal rights in society. In the early 1900s, Alice attended the Universities of London and Birmingham and while there she joined the Women's Social and Political Union, a suffragette organization founded by Emmeline Pankhurst in 1903. (It is important to note that the term “suffragette” was only used in relation to the suffrage movement in England, while the term “suffragist” was used in relation to the movement in the United States).

  • View of the Many Ways in Which the Ohio Move­ Ment Paralled the National Movement in Each of the Phases
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While tf.; most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in "sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • Inez Milholland “Gave Her Life to the Fight for Suffrage” August 6, 1886 – November 25, 1916
    Inez Milholland “Gave her life to the fight for suffrage” August 6, 1886 – November 25, 1916 Inez Milholland was born on August 6, 1886 in Brooklyn, New York to wealthy parents. Milholland grew up in New York City and London. She met militant suffragist Emmeline Pankhurst in England, who converted Milholland into a political radical, a transfor- mation that would define her life. Milholland attended Vassar College, where she continued to be politically active. The school had a rule that banned discussion of suffrage on campus, so Milholland organized meetings in a local cemetery. Milholland was also very active in extracurriculars at school, performing as Romeo in Romeo and Juliet, as well as numerous roles in other productions. She was also a member of the Current Topics Club, the German Club, the debate team, and the unrecognized but very present Socialist Club. Additionally, Milholland played basketball, tennis, golf, and field hockey. She broke Vassar’s shot-put record in her sophomore year and won the college cup for best all-around athlete as a junior. After her graduation from Vassar in 1909, Milholland began to work as a suffrage orator in New York City, also advocating for women’s labor rights and was arrested for picketing alongside female workers during strikes in 1909 and 1910. During these strikes, Milholland used her status and resources as a mem- ber of the upper-class to pay bail for strikers and organize fundraisers. As a woman, she was rejected from several law schools but earned a law degree from New York University in 1912.

  • Wesleyan Chapel
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Women’s Rights Women’s Rights National Historical Park The Wesleyan Chapel 72 years after ‘The Declaration of Independence’ was signed, 300 people met at the Wesleyan Chapel to protest the laws and customs that discriminated against women. Here they signed a new document, ‘The Declaration of Sentiments’. Both of these documents challenged the status quo and both of them were just the beginning of a years-long struggle for freedom. It would take another 72 years after the convention before women were given the right to vote. Like the movement, the chapel underwent many changes, but its significance as a cradle of liberty was not forgotten. Origins In 1843 a small group of reform-minded Seneca Falls residents declared they were forming a Wesleyan Methodist church. This followed a national trend that had begun several years earlier when antislavery members of the Meth- odist Episcopal Church decided to break away and organize a new church that condemned slavery. The Seneca Falls Wesleyan Methodists set to work building their new church, and by October 1843 the building was completed. An article about the church published in the True Wesleyan described its appearance: “[The Cha- pel is] of brick, 44 x 64, with a gallery on three sides, and is well finished, though, as it should be, it is plain.” The spirit of reform that inspired the Seneca Falls First Woman’s Rights Convention was already present in the early use of the chapel. Antoinette Brown, the first ordained female minister in America, spoke about the violence in Kansas Territory at the chapel in May 1855.
