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.

  • The Worcester Womens Rights Convention
    THE WORCESTER WOMENS RIGHTS CONVENTION OF 1850: A SOCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE RANK AND FILE MEMBERSHIP By HOLLY N. BROWN Bachelor of Arts University of Kentucky Lexington, Kentucky 1994 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTERS OF ARTS May, 1997 THE WORCESTER WOMENS RIGHTS CONVENTION OF 1850: A SOCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE RANK AND FILE MEMBERSHIP Thesis Approved: . ~ 1t1'J~ cd ~~ Dean of the Graduate College 11 PREFACE This study analyzed the membership of the Worcester Women's Rights Convention of 1850, to compare the major characteristics of this group to the general population of Worcester, Massachusetts in 1850. The members of the convention were urban, white, Protestant and different from the general population. The city of Worcester's population was much more diverse. Within the membership group it was found that they were not all of the same socio-economic background. By dividing the one group into three categories--antislavery organizers, women, and men--the study found that there were working class as well as upper and middle class individuals at the convention. The class diversity occurred almost wholly among women. The bulk of the research of this study was conducted at the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts. Sources were also located at the Worcester Historical Museum and the Worcester Room at the Worcester Public Library. 111 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to express my sincere appreciation to my major advisor, Dr. James Huston for his intelligent supervision, constructive guidance, and for his time and effort in my education on quantification.

  • Against Patriarchy: Tools for Men to Further Feminist Revolution* June 25, 2013 by Chris Crass
    Against Patriarchy: Tools for Men to Further Feminist Revolution* June 25, 2013 By Chris Crass For all of us who are men who believe in social justice, who want healthy and beautiful lives for our loved ones, and who are working for positive change in the world, let us commit or re-commit to making feminism central in our lives, values, and actions. Black feminist scholar bell hooks writes, “When women and men understand that working to eradicate patriarchal domination is a struggle rooted in the longing to make a world where everyone can live fully and freely, then we know our work to be a gesture of love.” She continues, “Let us draw upon that love to heighten our awareness, deepen our compassion, intensify our courage, and strengthen our commitment.” It is time for men in the millions to take courageous action in our society to further feminist revolution. The everyday violence and oppression of sexism in our society is epidemic and not only must end, but can end. Sexism devastates our relationships, communities, social justice efforts, and our lives. While we did not choose to be men in a patriarchal society, we have the choice to be feminists and work against sexism. Below is a list of tools and suggestions that have helped me over the years as I have struggled to understand what it means to be a man working for feminism.[1] Let us look to the leadership of women and gender oppressed people for guidance and work alongside them, let us bring more and more men into feminist efforts, let us embrace feminism as a healing and transformative force in our lives, and let us feel in our hearts that we can do this.[2] 1.
