While women were part of American history from the outset, they did not win the right to vote until 1920. Readers of this engrossing history of the women’s suffrage movement will discover its roots in the abolitionist movement. They’ll read about the Declaration of Sentiments from the 1848 women’s rights convention in Seneca Falls, New York, which stated, “all men and women are created equal.” The book also discusses how the fight for women’s rights continued after the right to vote had been won.

Book Description
The right to vote is something that American women today often take for granted. Yet generations of courageous women struggled over the course of decades to bring about a constitutional amendment granting woman suffrage. From its first stirrings before the Civil War to its final victory in 1920, suffrage was the largest reform movement in American history. The fight was led by impassioned leaders such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, and carried out by millions of women who firmly believed in full citizenship for women and their inalienable right to participate in the democratic process.Women Who Dare: Women of the Suffrage Movement chronicles the history of the struggle, with all its political challenges and dramatic tensions, through engaging prose and dozens of historical photographs. The movement is further brought to life with five special profiles highlighting family ties and friendships among suffragists.

The Woman Suffrage Movement in the United States
Author: Joan Marie JohnsonPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000540049
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
The Woman Suffrage Movement in the United States presents important moments and participants in the history of the American suffrage movement, ranging from the mid-nineteenth century through the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920. The book highlights the many participants in the suffrage movement, including well-known leaders, lesser-known activists, major national organizations, and local efforts across the country. An array of perspectives is examined: the garment factory worker working for protective labor laws, the wealthy wife hoping to control her inheritance, the Black activist seeking voting power for her community, and the temperance worker wanting to vote for prohibition laws. The volume examines the crucial activism of Black suffragists and other women of color, as well as the fraught nature of the cross-racial coalition in the movement. The broad and accessible approach to this important period in history will enable students to consider questions such as: How could suffragists overcome their differences and build community? Were wealthy women who funded salaries, headquarters, and parades afforded more power? What tactics and strategies did suffragists utilize to lobby legislators and win over the public? How did suffragists and anti-suffragists wield racism as a political tactic both in support of and against the Nineteenth Amendment? How and when did women of color finally achieve the right to vote? Students will also be able to consider lessons from the suffrage movement for an inclusive feminist movement today. This book will be of interest to students and scholars in US women’s history, the history of the Gilded Age and the Progressive Era, and those interested in the histories of social movements.
