The women's suffrage movement was a fight for women's political rights to vote. This lasted decades and took almost 100 years in order to gain these rights. They practice civil disobedience, marching, lecturing, and protesting for their rights. Histroy.com states, " But on August 18, 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.," (History.com Editors, 2009, para.1).

This was led by Josephine Dodge and this group believe contributing to the movement would decrease their opportunities for jobs in the community.

Because they took care of the home and children, they said women did not have time to vote or stay updated on politics. Some argued women lacked the expertise or mental capacity to offer a useful opinion about political issues," (Lange, 2015, para.5). While some women were afraid of the consequences, others believed that women did not need to vote. Men did the voting, fighting, and money-making, while the women stayed at home to care for the children and house. ]]> 2023-05-17 18:33:31 UTC https://padlet.com/2197162/nw5o3a4186itgjyy/wish/2595134078 3706253 https://padlet.com/2197162/nw5o3a4186itgjyy/wish/2595143477 The 19th amendment is the amendment that gave women the right to vote.
