A major influence and activist for women’s rights was Susan B. Anthony, who started the “National American Woman Suffrage Association” (NAWSA) with Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Many industries were scared of women gaining the right to vote because it was assumed that women would mess up the industries since they their opinions would oppose the opinions of men. There was a three part strategy to gain women’s rights to vote. The first strategy was to convince state legislators to grant voting rights. When that would fail, women would test the 14th amendment which declared that states who denied male citizen’s votes would lose congressional representation. Women argued that they too were citizens and although the Supreme Court ruled women to be citizens, their citizenship did not give them the right to vote. If those two strategies didn’t work, women pushed for national constitutional amendment. The fight for women’s right to vote continued for decades and improved many things such as labor laws and safe food production.
