The Convention was mainly organized by Elizabeth Cady Stanton who along with 4 other people wrote the Declaration of Sentiments, a document that was the main purpose of the Seneca Falls Convention. This document addressed all of women's complaints for not being treated equally, not being given the right to vote ,and  mostly importantly advocated for women's equality in all aspects of life. In addition, The Seneca Falls Convention was critical to the Women's Suffrage Rights Movement because decades later it ensured women the right to vote. ]]> 2022-12-04 20:51:37 UTC https://padlet.com/raaga_nandyala_118/os4xm03oaui1b29d/wish/2408261384 raaga_nandyala_118 https://padlet.com/raaga_nandyala_118/os4xm03oaui1b29d/wish/2408274950 After the outbreak of the Civil War on April 12, 1861, women both from the North and South came out into public life to aid and help in the way in ways they never imagined they would be able to do. Many women in the North and South signed up as military nurses so they could take care of the wounded and sick soldiers. In addition, in the North many women got together and formed aid societies so they could supply the Union troops from food to clothing to cash as they set up campaigns and performances to raise money for the Union troops. To continue, in the South, even though they had less money than the North, they still played a key role in helping the troops. The South provided food, sewed, provided uniforms, wrote letters, and even cared for sick and wounded soldiers in their own homes. All in all, during the Civil War women had new roles and duties outside and inside their homes that aided and majorly contributed to the Civil War. The importance this event had to the Women's Suffrage Rights Movement was that by 1896 women gained the right to control their own earnings, be able to buy their own property, and be responsible for their children under 18 in four states. ]]> 2022-12-04 21:17:58 UTC https://padlet.com/raaga_nandyala_118/os4xm03oaui1b29d/wish/2408274950 raaga_nandyala_118 https://padlet.com/raaga_nandyala_118/os4xm03oaui1b29d/wish/2408300869 The 19th amendment was established on August 26, 1920, which gave women the right to vote. This amendment took years of convincing and protesting before it was ratified. Commencing in the 1800, many women suffrage supporters marched, talked, wrote, and protested to achieve this amendment. Between 1878 and 1920, women were trying to find new ways and strategies to win the right to vote, and in 1912, nine states "adopted woman suffrage legislation"(History.com). By 1916, all the women's suffrage associations favored the 19th amendment and when New York adopted women's suffrage in 1917 and President Wilson started to support the amendment, The House of Representatives started to consider passing the 19th amendment. Two weeks later, The House of Representatives and Senate passed the amendment. The 19th amendment is granted to be one of the most critical events in the Women's Suffrage Rights Movement because it gave women the right to vote. ]]> 2022-12-04 22:12:34 UTC https://padlet.com/raaga_nandyala_118/os4xm03oaui1b29d/wish/2408300869 raaga_nandyala_118 https://padlet.com/raaga_nandyala_118/os4xm03oaui1b29d/wish/2408311979 The Woman Suffrage Procession took place on March 3rd, 1913, and was organized by the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA). Thousands of women marched along and rode horses along the Avenue of Pennsylvania in hopes of gaining full equality for all women. They rode horses to portray themselves as "The New Woman of the Twentieth Century" who are going against society's rules and expectations of women and fighting for not just voting rights but all rights of equality. Behind the horses are floats that have the words written on it "The Great Demand" which indirectly said to establish an amendment in the Constitution for Women's Rights. However, the glory of the march only lasted for a few minutes as the people started to come onto the road and clear the road and stop the parade. Slowly women's progress slowed until it halted to a stop and the women were surrounded by an angry mob. A few hours later, police came and took control of the situation, and even though this parade didn't fully give women equal rights, it was overall definitely important to the Women's Suffrage Rights Movement because it would be the key deciding factor for the 19th amendment. ]]> 2022-12-04 22:38:49 UTC https://padlet.com/raaga_nandyala_118/os4xm03oaui1b29d/wish/2408311979 raaga_nandyala_118 https://padlet.com/raaga_nandyala_118/os4xm03oaui1b29d/wish/2408324967
The National Women's Right Convention took place on October 23, 1850 and was one of the first National Women's Convention. The National Women's Right Convention followed the steps of the Seneca Falls Convention and it was mainly organized by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B Anthony who believed that giving African American men voting rights was less important than women being given the same voting rights as men. In this Convention, many speakers like Lucy Stone fought for "equal enfranchisement for all women"(History.com). She addresses voting rights but also says that all women should be able to develop and grow as an individual and not be restricted because of their spouse or society. This event was important to the Women's Suffrage Rights Movement because it attracted many abolitionists and temperance advocates who started to support the Women's Right Movement and fight for equality for women.

The American Woman Suffrage Association, unlike the National Women's Right Convention, supported universal suffrage and the 15th amendment which granted African American men the right to vote. In 1870, Lucy Stone wrote the book called "The Woman Journal" which talked about the association's meetings in depth, the issues going on about voting rights, and referred to the strategies the association came up with. However despite it being called the Woman Journal, AWSA "included prominent male reformers among its leaders and members"(History.com). This Association was important to the Women's Suffrage Rights Movement because it played a role in passing the 19th amendment. ]]> 2022-12-05 04:32:22 UTC https://padlet.com/raaga_nandyala_118/os4xm03oaui1b29d/wish/2408586322 raaga_nandyala_118 https://padlet.com/raaga_nandyala_118/os4xm03oaui1b29d/wish/2408594575 The National American Woman Suffrage Association took place on February 18, 1890, and was combined with 2 major suffrage associations, The American Woman Suffrage Association and The National Woman Suffrage Association. These two groups before the merge had different goals in mind, but after the merge, their new goal "was to push for the ratification of enough state suffrage amendments to force Congress to approve a federal amendment," recruit new members and allow women the right to vote(History.com). To continue, despite attempting to "ratify a state suffrage amendment," a few years later NAWSA adopted the "Winning Plan" in hopes of getting the federal government to agree. Finally, after recalling how women helped and aided in the Civil War the federal government approved which led to President Woodrow Wilson fully supporting the Nineteenth Amendment. As stated previously, the NAWSA is important to the Women's Suffrage Rights Movement because it played a key role in the passing of the 19th amendment.]]> 2022-12-05 04:41:47 UTC https://padlet.com/raaga_nandyala_118/os4xm03oaui1b29d/wish/2408594575 raaga_nandyala_118 https://padlet.com/raaga_nandyala_118/os4xm03oaui1b29d/wish/2410039965  The House approved Women's Suffrage Rights on January 10, 1918. It all started when Jeanette Rankin became one of the two Republican nominees and won the second at-Large seat in Montana. She then went on to give interviews and write for the newspaper about her policies. In addition, in May 1917, Rankin "testified on behalf of Raker's proposal" which said to include a committee on Woman Suffrage(History.house.gov). On September 24, 1917, after the House approved the committee, Rankin took charge of the committee and spoke to the House about how giving women voting rights is helping the nation and white men in the long run and how giving women voting rights would "uphold systems of power and oppression"(History.house.gov). In addition to this, Carrie Chapman Catt wrote a letter to a Judiciary Chairmen asking him to support the amendment. Finally after serious deliberation, on January 10, 1918, the House barely approved the amendment, but the Senate didn't. However, despite the Senate not approving the 19th amendment, many people got inspired after the House approved it and started to join the Women's Suffrage Rights Movement which led to more protests and more people who supported the right for women to vote. ]]> 2022-12-06 02:38:59 UTC https://padlet.com/raaga_nandyala_118/os4xm03oaui1b29d/wish/2410039965 raaga_nandyala_118 https://padlet.com/raaga_nandyala_118/os4xm03oaui1b29d/wish/2410090983 The National Woman's Party was organized by Lucy Burns and Alice Paul and was adopted on January 30, 1916. The purpose of this party was to publicize the suffrage cause and fight for the Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution for Women.  The NWP would conduct marches around the White House and acts of civil disobedience to raise awareness and attract people to support all aspects of women's rights, including voting rights. This is important to the Women's Suffrage Rights Movement because The NWP spoke to the public, did public activities, petitioned, lobbied, and threw parades which all helped to raise awareness about the Women Suffrage Campaign and make the 19th amendment a reality. ]]> 2022-12-06 03:28:20 UTC https://padlet.com/raaga_nandyala_118/os4xm03oaui1b29d/wish/2410090983 raaga_nandyala_118 https://padlet.com/raaga_nandyala_118/os4xm03oaui1b29d/wish/2411742686 On December 10, 1869, Wyoming grants women the right to vote. In the Western states, some men started to realize how important women were to this society so they supported women's right to vote, while some men supported it because they were "motivated by sheer loneliness," since there were 6000 males and only 1000 females(History.com). They thought that if they supported the amendment, then there would be more women who would be able to buy land and settle in isolated parts of the country. In addition to this, some men genuinely had respect for women and wanted to support the amendment for them to vote. For example, William Bright's wife convinced Bright that prohibiting the right to vote for women was an injustice to society and Edward. M. Lee argued that it was unfair for African-American women's voting rights to be denied but be granted to African American males, as he took the example of his African American mother having her voting rights denied. Ultimately, after hearing what people like Bright and Lee had to say about voting rights for women, Governor Campbell signed the bill into law, making Wyoming the first state to grant women the right to vote. This event is important to the Women's Suffrage Rights Movement because it inspired other states to slowly approve the amendment too which will ultimately lead up to the 19th amendment being ratified. ]]> 2022-12-07 06:20:08 UTC https://padlet.com/raaga_nandyala_118/os4xm03oaui1b29d/wish/2411742686 raaga_nandyala_118 https://padlet.com/raaga_nandyala_118/os4xm03oaui1b29d/wish/2411743705 The 19th Amendment is the strongest turning point in the Women's Suffrage Rights Movement. ]]> 2022-12-07 06:21:29 UTC https://padlet.com/raaga_nandyala_118/os4xm03oaui1b29d/wish/2411743705
