One of he problems was that woman were unable to vote . In other words they had no voice. The women’s suffrage movement was a decade long fight to win the right to vote. It took activists and reformers nearly 100 years to win that right. Disagreements over strategy threatened to crush the movement more than once. But on August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the Constitution was finally ratified, stating that all American women deserve all the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. Woman technically worked harder and were stronger mentally then men.

In 1923, the National Women's Party proposed an amendment to the Constitution that didnʻt allow all discrimination on the basis of sex. The so called Equal Rights Amendment has neverbeen ratified. By then, the suffragists approach had changed. Instead of arguing that women deserved the same rights and responsibilities as men because women and men were “created equal” the new generation of activists argued that women deserved the vote because they were DIFFERENT from men and that they protested until they were heard. Advocates wanted women to vote because they thought it would carry an enormous voting alliance on behalf of their cause and many middle-class white people were convinced once again by the argument that woman of white skin that vote would “ensure immediate white supremacy.”

One of the many key reformers of womens rights was Susan B. Anthony which was born in Massachusetts in 1820. Before the Civil War Susan was involved in th New York antislavery movements. In 1849 she became the secretary for the Daughters of Temperence and in 1850 she bean to devote her life to womenʻs rights, after meeting other women activists like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucy Stone. Then, together they published and edited the Revolution a womenʻs right weekly journal.

The problem was that woman werenʻt allowed to vote and that the solution was that instead of arguing that woman and men were created equally activists argued that woman were different from men and they protested until they were heard. I think it helped their cause because they proved good points that they had different input from men and thought different. Since they protested till they were heard people, mostly men had to face the fact that woman should have a voice and that women arenʻt superior like men just because of their sex.

The choices of women reformers contributed to the greater good because now women can do anything a man can do and they arenʻt discriminated just because of their sex.
