Women's Suffrage Women's Suffrage Emily Depietri, Kayla Corbett, Lance Kamen, and Julia LaBarbiera “Facts of the Past” -Women were unhappy and wanted the right to vote and have a voice in government -The demand for the enfranchisement of American women was first seriously formulated at the Seneca Falls Convention (1848) -After the Civil War, agitation by women for the ballot became increasingly vociferous -In 1869, however, a rift developed among feminists over the proposed 15th Amendment, which gave the vote to black men -Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and others refused to endorse the amendment because it did not give women the ballot “Facts of the Past Continued…” -Other suffragists, however, including Lucy Stone and Julia Ward Howe, argued that once the black man was enfranchised, women would achieve their goal. As a result of the conflict, two organizations emerged -In 1890 the two groups united under the name National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) Slogan NWSA -The NWSA stands for National Woman Suffrage Association -The NWSA brought woman’s suffrage up to the federal level to be noticed and actually make change -They fought for married woman to be able to have property rights, unions for women workers, and woman being able to vote in elections -The American Woman Suffrage Association and the National Suffrage Association joined together to create the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) National Woman’s Party -In 1916, the Congressional Union formed the Woman’s Party, comprised of the enfranchised members of the Congressional Union -The National Woman's Party (NWP) was a women's organization founded by Alice Paul and Lucy Burns in 1913 that fought for women's rights during the early 20th century in the United States, particularly for the right to vote on the same terms as men -In 1917, the two organizations formally merged to form the National Woman’s Party National Women’s Party Continued… -The National Women’s Party would withhold its support from the existing political parties until women had gained the right to vote and “punish” those parties in power who did not support suffrage - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKQ8NHABn5o QUOTE “ I declare to you that woman must not depend upon the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself, and there I take my stand.” Susan B. Anthony Susan B. Anthony (1820 - 1906) -In 1853 Anthony campaigned for Women’s Property rights in New York -She gave speeches, started petitions, and traveled to spread the word -She went to the National Woman's Rights convention in 1854 to pursue her petitions and get her name known -In 1856 at the National Woman’s Rights Convention she was named “The Lily” and “The Woman’s Advocate.” -In 1869, Anthony and other partner’s formed the National Woman’s Suffrage Association Susan B. Anthony (1820 - 1906) Continued... -In 1872 Anthony and her three sisters voted in the presidential election and were arrested and put on trial. After they refused to pay the fine they weren’t arrested and the idea of woman voting was brought to the Supreme Court’s attention -The 19th Amendment was named the Susan B.

It took activists and reformers nearly 100 years to win that right, and the campaign was not easy: Disagreements over strategy threatened to cripple the movement more than once. But on August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the Constitution was finally ratified, enfranchising all American women and declaring for the first time that they, like men, deserve all the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. 14th Amendment -The 14th amendment was made to grant citizenship to freed slaves and other African Americans -This amendment used the word “male” for the very first time in the constitution -Women were upset due to the fact they were being discriminated based on gender Presidents -Woodrow Wilson: Finally agreed to a suffrage amendment in January 1918 19th Amendment -Passed by Congress June 4, 1919, and ratified on August 18, 1920, the 19th amendment guarantees all American women the right to vote -Achieving this milestone required a lengthy and difficult struggle; victory took decades of agitation and protest 19th Amendment continued... -Beginning in the mid-19th century, several generations of woman suffrage supporters lectured, wrote, marched, lobbied, and practiced civil disobedience to achieve what many Americans considered a radical change of the Constitution -Few early supporters lived to see final victory in 1920 THE OUTCOME OF OUR REFORM -Women wanted the right to vote, so they fought and won eventually but it wasn’t easy. However, the outcome of all of the women’s hard work was worth it in the end, because women continue to earn even more rights to this day thanks to the Women’s Suffrage for guiding and fighting for us.

  • 'I Want to Go to Jail': the Woman's Party
    102 Historical Journal of Massachusetts • Winter 2017 Women against Wilson A National Woman’s Party demonstration against President Woodrow Wilson takes to the streets in Chicago in 1916 ahead of his upcoming visit during the presidential campaign. Amid the signs bluntly saying Wilson was “against women” is one that asks, “President Wilson How Long Do You Advise Us to Wait” for the right to vote. Source: Library of Congress. 103 “I Want to Go to Jail”: The Woman’s Party Reception for President Wilson in Boston, 1919 JAMES J. KENNEALLY Abstract: Agitation by the National Woman’s Party (NWP) was but one of several factors leading to the successful passage of the Nineteenth Amendment and woman suffrage. By turning to direct action, concentrating on a federal amendment, and courting jail sentences (unlike the more restrained National American Woman Suffrage Association), they obtained maximum publicity for their cause even when, as in Boston, their demonstration had little direct bearing on enfranchisement. Although historians have amply documented the NWP’s vigils and arrests before the White House, the history of the Massachusetts chapter of the NWP and the story of their demonstrations in Boston in 1919 has been mostly overlooked. This article gives these pioneering suffragists their recognition. Nationally, the only women to serve jail sentences on behalf of suffrage were the 168 activists arrested in the District of Columbia and the sixteen women arrested in Boston. Dr. James J. Kenneally, a Professor Emeritus and former Director of Historical Journal of Massachusetts, Vol. 45 (1), Winter 2017 © Institute for Massachusetts Studies, Westfield State University 104 Historical Journal of Massachusetts • Winter 2017 the Martin Institute at Stonehill College, has written extensively on women’s history.1 * * * * * * * Alice Paul (1885–1977) and Lucy Burns (1879–1966) met in jail in 1909 in England.

  • The Centennial of the Nineteenth Amendment
    Sarah Jane Corson Downs, Ocean Grove Audiences listened with rapt attention when Sarah Downs, a social reformer with a booming voice and daunting appearance, condemned alcohol as “the enemy.” As previously mentioned, Downs became president of the New Jersey Woman’s Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) in 1881. Despite her tough demeanor, “Mother Downs” was The Monmouth County Clerk’s Office kind and loving. commemorates Sarah was born in 1822 to an old Philadelphia family, members of the Dutch Reformed Church. When she was five, her father died and, in The Centennial of the the 1830s, her widowed mother moved the family to New Jersey, initially in Pennington. Sarah experienced “a conversion” at seventeen and became an Evangelical Methodist. While teaching school in New Nineteenth Amendment Egypt, she met a widower, Methodist circuit minister Rev. Charles S. Downs. After they married in 1850, Sarah left teaching and cared for their children. When Rev. Downs retired for health reasons, the family relocated to Tuckerton. To make ends meet, Sarah resumed teaching and wrote newspaper articles. After Rev. Downs died in 1870, she raised funds for a new church and became increasingly interested in women’s welfare. In the mid-1870s, Downs moved to Ocean Grove, the dry Methodist seaside town that would become known for its women activists and entrepreneurs. In 1882, she purchased a house lease at 106 Mount Tabor Way for $490. During her Ocean Grove years, Downs significantly increased the WCTU membership. Loyal to Frances Willard, national WCTU president, Downs supported suffrage as “a means for women to better protect their homes and children” and to help achieve the prohibition of alcohol.
