This movement started taking place in 1848 and finally ended August 18ths 1920

The women's suffrage movement started because women did not have the right to vote and many felt this was unfair and unjust.

1848 - The Declaration of the Seneca Falls Convention was signed by many and started this entire movement and these ideas

1869 - Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton created the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) This group did not support african american men having the right to vote

1869 - Lucy Stone, Julia Ward Howe, and Henry Blackwell created the American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA). This group supported african american men to have the right to vote

These two groups were rivals because they had different views on the situation

1870 - Women's suffrage activists began to try and vote. They got denied and they began to file lawsuits. These lawsuits helped the movement get more publicity

1872 - Susan B. Anthony was arrested for attempting to vote in the election

1875 -  “the Supreme Court, in Minor v. Happersett, rejected women’s suffrage” saying that the constitution did not say anything about voting rights.

1890 - The opposing groups merged together to create the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA).

The NAWSA got over half of all states to support women's suffrage and soon after the 19th amendment was passed

Early 1900’s - Sherna Gluck and Ernistine Hara Kettler were sentenced to jail after attempting to protest the rights of women. In prison they met with many other women who were jailed for the same reason. They decided to band together and refuse to work.

August 18th, 1920 - The 19th amendment was approved “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.”

Some specific actions that took place to achieve this result was a lot of protests from women and men and meeting/discussions to talk about how we could move forward from this.

The change that was created because of this movement was the 19th amendment being added to the constitution. This amendment basically says that you have the right to vote regardless of your sex.

American culture and society changed because they then had a whole new group of people to vote. They had pretty much twice as many voters so elections would be a lot more different and could change drastically.

This movement still matters today because women's rights used to be a very debated topic but now they can do anything men can and without these people and protesters who knows what our country, voters, and rights would be like today.

Summary - A woman was sentenced to prison after protesting women's rights to vote was interviewed in 1973. Ernestine Hara Kettler talks about her experience with protesting. She spoke about how when she got to jail there were already around 12 women in for the same thing. Their way of protesting while in this prison was to sit in the workshops and refuse to work (they had to sew). They continued to do this for 26 more days.

The purpose of this story is to shed light on some of the protests that happened during the women's suffrage movement.

This was a significant moment because this is when women were really starting to protests their rights to vote and their just basic rights.

I chose "worth of the individual" because it talks about how every single person should be treated with dignity and respect and that is what women at the time of the suffrage movement were fighting for.

Popular sovereignty talks about how “we the people…” is an important part of the constitution and women are part of “ the people” so they should have the same rights as everyone else. Women gaining the right to vote leads them to be able to have power to have a say in the government and what it should be able to do.

The idea I chose that fits my topic is “people are born with certain rights such as life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” this fits because women's suffrage should have been a right all along. The Declaration of Independence says that ALL people have these rights.
