They began a campaign in the decades before the Civil War. On the elections of 1920, millions of American women got their right to vote for the first time. This took activists and reformers about 100 years to win that right which wasn’t easy because of disagreements over strategy threatened to cripple the movement more than once. But then on August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the constitution was finally ratified, liberating all American women and declaring for the first time that they, like men, deserve all the rights and responsibilities of citizenship.

These tactics include:
  • Pageants
  • Annual conventions
  • Pamphlets
  • Books
  • Demonstrations
  • Suffrage parades
  • Picketing the White House.
