But let there be no change by usurpation; for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed. –GEORGE WASHINGTON, 1796 There never will be complete equality until women themselves help to make laws and elect lawmakers. –SUSAN B. ANTHONY, 1897 It is better, as far as getting the vote is concerned I believe, to have a small, united group than an immense debating society. –ALICE PAUL, 1914 104 © Bill of Rights Institute Lesson Plan Background/Homework » 15-30 min. A. If students have not already done so, have them read Appendix A: Amending the Constitution and answer the reflection questions about the process the Constitution sets forth for amendments. B. Still using Appendix A as a resource, have students write a brief reflection in response to this scenario: It is 1900 and you and others have worked for decades to secure the right of women to vote. In recent years, movements toward greater equality and democracy have been stirring. Now, more than ever, you think the vote is within your grasp. The only decision now is how to achieve the vote and to have it last. 1. Would the constitutional amendment process of Article V seem like the best way forward? 2. What pros and cons would you identify for using the amendment process? For example, to what extent would the amendment process create stability for your objectives? 3. Assuming you thought it was wise to seek a constitutional amendment securing votes for women, which of the amendment processes outlined in Article V would you prefer to implement, and why? C. Have students read Background Essay: The Movement Unites and answer the questions. Warm-up » 10 minutes Note: This warm-up activity, as well as Handout A: Decision Time and Handout C: What’s the Plan, assume some general background knowledge related to the time period of World War I. An alternate warm-up activity is to have the class discuss your choice of the Reflection and Analysis Questions at the end of Background Essay: The Movement Unites (1860-1920). A. Show the two images located within the Background Essay of the Silent Sentinels and the Kaiser Wilson sign and ask students to respond to this prompt: The comparison of the president to the German Kaiser was justified. B. Have students state whether they agree or disagree and why. They can write this or just talk with a person near them, then have a quick class discussion. C. If desired, you could expand this activity to make it more interactive and provide more practice in developing an argument. Direct students who agree to stand on one side of the room and those who disagree to stand on the other, with undecided students standing in the middle until each side shares their reasoning. Then the undecided students would need to pick a side. © Bill of Rights Institute Lesson 5: The Movement Unites (1890-1920) 105 Activity 1 » 20 minutes A. Give each student a copy of Handout A: Decision Time, assign each student a 1918 identity from those listed on the handout, and divide the class into four groups: Italian American, Younger Brother, Parade Spectator, and Newspaper Reader. Within each identity group, each student should use the information in their background essays and/or other resources to compose short speech in response to the prompt: It is 1918. From the perspective of your assigned identity, do you favor or oppose women gaining the nation-wide right to vote? The identities, the prompt, and additional directions are available on Handout A: Decision Time. B. Have students take a few minutes in silence to individually jot down points that each one wants to make in the speech. Then allow students to collaborate in composing their drafts and give each other feedback. Depending on your classroom needs, you might instruct students to then write individual speeches, or to create a single speech for the group. C. Next, have students jigsaw into new groups of four made up of students representing each of the four different identities. Give them a few minutes in this new grouping to share their drafts and offer suggestions for improvement. D. As students are working, circulate among the groups and identify the students with the strongest drafts for the next step. E. Finally, call on one student of each identity to share their speeches. All speeches could be turned in for a grade. Activity 2 » 25 minutes A. Have students work in their groups to complete Handout B: Sorting Arguments. After a few moments go over the correct answers for the diagram and clarify any questions students might have. B. Next, distribute Handout C: What’s the Plan? Have students check which course of action they personally think would have been wisest. Take a quick count of the number of students who prefer each course of action and record those numbers for later comparison. C. Now, conduct a whole class discussion regarding which course of action might have been the preference of each of the 1918 Americans listed on Handout A: Decision Time. D. Before concluding the conversation, make sure students understand that under Catt’s leadership, the women’s suffrage movement had an amendment to the Constitution as its goal, but worked at both the state and federal levels toward that end. 106 © Bill of Rights Institute Activity 3 » 10 minutes Use Handout D: Harry T. Burn to tell the story of 24-year-old Tennessee legislator Harry Burn through a “news interview.” Have one student acting as the newspaper reporter present the introduction and another acting as Harry T. Burn, dramatically read aloud his statements regarding his vote to ratify the 19th Amendment. Note: Burn’s statement is used by permission from www.TeachTNHistory.org, an education program of East Tennessee Historical Society, Knoxville. The primary source documents themselves, the journal excerpt and the Febb E. Burn letter, are found in the holdings of the Tennessee Library and Archives in Nashville. See http://www.teachtnhistory.org/file/Harry_T._Burn.pdf. Wrap-up » 15 minutes A. Conduct a whole-class discussion of the various factors that led to the unification of the women’s suffrage movement and the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment. Challenge students in their groups of four to decide what they believe was the most significant historical event leading to the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment, and write a summary statement explaining their viewpoint. B. To help students develop geographic understanding, have students get their colored pencils and go over the information on Handout E: Suffrage by State. Have students use Appendix B: Timeline and Quotes to fill in the map as instructed. (If students have completed lesson four, this would be a good time to call on a few to recall what they learned about suffrage being achieved by women in western states.) Students can complete the shading in of the map at home, discussing the information with their parents. C. Have students read the document on Handout F: Carrie Chapman Catt Speech Excerpt and write a brief reflection in response to the prompt. D. Have students discuss where the women’s movement was on the Appendix G: Pathway for Change graphic at the start and end of this lesson. Reflect on what phases took longest, where suffragists encountered the staunchest opposition, etc. Extension Activities A. Using a world map, push-pins, and different colors of yarn, have students show the geographic movements and convergences of major figures over time in the journey towards women’s suffrage. Each major figure would be assigned a different color yarn and that yarn strung between push-pins at key locations in order to show, for example, Alice Paul’s travels (from the US to England and back), participation in parades and picketing of the White House (Washington D.C.) and time spent in jail (D.C.

Their ardor alternated between a vague ideal and the common yearning of womanhood; so that the one was disapproved as extravagance, and the other condemned as a lapse. – George Eliot, Middlemarch, 1872 Table of Contents Acknowledgements ................................................................................................................... 2 Abbreviations ............................................................................................................................ 3 Introduction .............................................................................................................................. 4 The End of Edwardian England: Pankhurst’s Political Development ................................. 12 After the War: Pankhurst’s Collisions with Communism and the State .............................. 21 Appealing Sedition: Performativity of Communism and Suffrage ....................................... 33 Prison and Release: Attempted Constructions of Martyrology

  • LWVVT Summer 2020 Newsletter
    Green Mountain CITIZEN Summer 2020 LWVVT Decries Police Killing of George Floyd The League of Women Voters of Vermont grieves the murders of George Floyd and countless other Black lives that have been tragically taken at the hands of rogue law enforcement officers who are rarely held fully accountable for their actions. We have seen people from all over the country exercising their First Amendment rights as peaceful demonstrators take to the streets demanding change. We have seen people of every race, religion, and ethnic background stand and kneel in solidarity with the Black community with the same message— Black Lives Matter. We have also seen civil unrest in some places and, sadly, acts of police violence against protestors. We must not let those images derail the fight against systemic racial injustice and inequality. The systems of oppression that have perpetuated the myth of white supremacy in our country must be dismantled if we are ever to become the nation we pledge to be—indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. As an organization whose mission is to empower voters and defend democracy, we stand in solidarity with all Black communities. The League shall do so by speaking out against racism in all forms and being committed to listening to and amplifying Black voices, and educating ourselves and our children on the historic and ongoing systemic racism that plagues this country. The League acknowledges, painfully, that America is a nation founded on racism. Therefore, all who live in this country must contribute to and participate in organizations actively working to achieve full liberation and inclusive freedom.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Shame and the anti-feminist backlash: Britain, Ireland and Australia, 1890-1920 Abstract Shame and the Anti-Feminist Backlash examines how women opposed to the feminist campaign for the vote in early twentieth-century Britain, Ireland, and Australia used shame as a political tool. It demonstrates just how proficient women were in employing a diverse vocabulary of emotions - drawing on concepts like embarrassment, humiliation, honour, courage, and chivalry - in the attempt to achieve their political goals. It looks at how far nationalist contexts informed each gendered emotional community at a time when British imperial networks were under extreme duress. The book presents a unique history of gender and shame which demonstrates just how versatile and ever-present this social emotion was in the feminist politics of the British Empire in the early decades of the twentieth century. It employs a fascinating new thematic lens to histories of anti-feminist/feminist entanglements by tracing national and transnational uses of emotions by women to police their own political communities.

The ballet was created specifically for middle and high school students. Through dance, music, and just a few spoken word moments, 72 Steps ballet takes us on a multi-year, historical journey that expresses the struggle and triumphs of many women and some men who fought for and against ratification. Performed by Nashville Ballet 2 dancers, many of whom have just reached voting age, the performance is designed to spark a dialogue about past and modern- day barriers to a unified and equitable society. The dance is performed by six female and two male dancers. The shedding and donning of men’s jackets – by men and women – allows performers to show, without words, how some women joined the men who fought against ratification, and how some men joined the women’s suffrage cause.

Your Country Needs You!”: Fleeing Feminism or Gendering Citizenship in Great War Britain?∗ Marc Calvini-Lefebvre Abstract: When war broke out in August 1914, the National Union of Women’s Suffrage Societies suspended its political work on behalf of women’s suffrage and plunged into relief work for women and children. Because it appeared to conform to a “separate spheres” ideology, this response has been presented as conclusive evidence of British feminism’s ideological collapse in the face of war. This article argues a contrario that the National Union’s response is further evidence of feminism’s ideological resilience in this period. Relief work, it shows, was one aspect of a broader project aimed at “gendering” the concept and language of citizenship in order to appropriate them for women.
