Women's Suffrage

protest marches and hunger strikes

In 1878, women began their struggle to gain the right to vote. This finally came to fruition in 1920, with the passage of the 19th amendment to the Constitution.

The government dealt with them by sending Suffragettes to prison where they would go on a hunger strike and hence they would become too weak to participate in the Suffragette's violent struggles once they were released from prison.

because she was in trouble

women antisuffragist

Yes, absolutely he did. In fact, he was an early supporter of this cause. He attended the first women's rights convention, held at Seneca Falls NY in 1848. And in his writings, he continued to advocate for votes for women, offering his support to women's suffrage leaders like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

If it weren't for the suffragists, women today would not have a number of rights (including voting) that most Americans take for granted. There were a number of men even back in the 1800s who realized that women should be treated equally and with respect. But sadly, there were also men who believed women were property and should be treated in whatever way the man felt like. Studying the suffragists is a great lesson is how a serious problem (women's inequality) brought out a lot of angry and hostile views, as well as bringing a number of people together to try to improve things. There are some amazing stories about the suffragists.

Well, some people such as women that were old fashioned (old women) opposed the womens movement. Also, some men that had something against females didn't want the womens movement. Hope that helps!! :0)

well the campaigning of the suffragists and suffragettes was obviously important as they brought up the issue. Some argue the suffragettes did more harm than good because they used violent methods and may have sometimes gone to far however they hugely increased the causes publicity. The suffragists used more peaceful methods of protests like marches and petitions.

Their work in the war really helped because two of the arguements saying women shouldn't get the vote were that

1. they didnt fight for their country

2. they wernt responsible or able enough as men

But their help in the war effort like taking over mens jobs ( and doing them just as good if not better) ,and joining the womens land army showed that they were capable of serving their country and were just as able and responible as men.

The 19th Amendment to the US Constitution was ratified on August 18, 1920 giving women the right to vote.

Most sufferage movements throughout the world adopt similar colors to their national flag, a symbol of their need to be represented in national politics. However, red tends to be a universal color assocated with women's sufferage. In addition, many European countries' movements adopted the color green for banners.

I'm not sure they were "offended," but there certainly were some women who strongly disagreed with feminism and did not understand the fight for equal rights. The women who opposed it were generally very traditional and very religious. They believed men were supposed to be in charge, and that women were not meant to be equal to men; they also believed feminists were women who wanted to be men, or at least act like men. The anti-feminists supported traditional gender roles, and did not want to see those roles change in any way. And they could not understand why these "women's libbers" wanted to stir things up. In the view of the opponents of women's rights, women already had all the rights they needed, as wives and mothers, and if a woman was dissatisfied, she was obviously not "normal."

But this was not really anything new: even back during the era of fighting for the vote (especially from 1900 to 1919), there were "anti-suffragists," conservative women who did not want the vote and did not believe women should be in the political arena. As they saw it, a woman was supposed to remain at home and be a wife and mother, not become someone who gets involved with politics. When the women's movement and second-wave feminism came along, its greatest enemies were the traditional women who were threatened (and appalled) at what they saw as a rejection of the proper roles of men and women, roles that were, they believed, established by God Himself.

Women in the Progressive Era worked for economic and political equality and for social reforms, such as the right to control their earnings and to own property. They came to realize that politicians were unwilling to listen to them, so they needed win the right to vote in order to achieve the reforms they wanted.

Educated, white women should gain the right to vote before African american men.

What states have not granted women's sufferage by 1919

It is difficult to say, since women in a number of countries were fighting for the right to vote and many found that the government took a dim view of their efforts. For example, in England, Christabel Pankhurst (daughter of feminist leader Emmeline Pankhurst) and Annie Kenney were both imprisoned as early as October 1905. In the US, one of the first to be imprisoned was Alice Paul, in November 1909. Later, in 1917, the US government imprisoned sixteen women (including Alice Paul and Lucy Burns); other women continued to protest, and the number arrested and sent to the Occoquan Workhouse in Virginia rose to more than 100.

The purpose of the Suffragettes peition is to have the woman's right to vote as they believe everyone should be equal. They attack the government at by-elections, which came more frequently in those days than they do now… The suffragettes could make a much greater impact at by-elections than at general elections, as their efforts could be concentrated on one constituency, whereas at a general election they were dispersed. They have many different tactics, but you are asking for the purpose. So overall their purpose is to have the right to vote so that they can be satisfied with the people elected for their region and the country also to represent woman and show the importance of them.

Yes, as of 1980, all women 18 and over could vote in Iraq.

Brunei, because no one can vote, and the Vatican because only cardinals can vote for the pope and cardinals can't be women. Thats all I found

The suffragettes (female) did not have the right to vote (prior to the enactment of the 19th amendment). Men (including minorities) did have the right to vote. By the early 1900s, women were still being excluded from this right, however.

Society has moved further towards altruism and equality.

On the face of it, to many this sounds like a good idea.

Anyone that didn't support it at face value appear evil and so to be supportive of it would make one appear reasonable and kind.

One must consider that too often, history will support this observation, the implementation from many policies has regularly had the unintended consequences of having the opposite affect of the aims being sought.

Individuals within societies want to be thought well of and we have reached a point where to challenge altruism as a solution to create a more enlightened civilization can't even be discussed rationally by most of us.

Addressing inequality in life among some groups have been implemented in ways that have ignored cause and affect results for actions taken. In other words, to act unfairly towards a group that have had the upper hand will address the balance in favour of those that have had it hard.

The most enlightened step towards the most balanced and equal society in history was The American Constitution and The Bill of Rights. Protecting the rights of all individuals and allowing all to pursuit their own happiness as part of an intended limited role of Government was greatness in forward thinking.

Freedom and Liberty can be achieved if the ideas behind these documents are understood. By most, they are not.

Creating policy for how we behave is to step away slowly from these ideals. Only the protection of individuals is required, no legislation is required after that. Socialism has "capitalised" on the injustice towards women and consequently women's political considerations have naturally been more socialist in one form or another. Men have been re educated to know of the previous injustices and have accepted on the whole the same notions that policies must be altruistic in nature. One of the great thinkers against these notions was actually a woman. The mere mention of her name in society today either draws a blank through lack of education or hatred as a figure of evil. I'll have to leave her name until the end.

Arts and Education have become so dependent on Governments that you will not find these institutions challenging the hand that feeds it from existing at all. Too many vested interests are locked in between these institutions that change is highly unlikely until all has collapsed. Such is the case with all great nations.

If you agree that economics is one of the driving forces behind a nation does it make sense to make a political choice without understanding it. The vast majority of colleges and universities teach one form of economics... Keynesian.

Ask yourself if it sounds balanced that a "neutral" religious teacher would be being neutral if he only taught Islam and diminished other religions if they were mentioned at all.

Do you know about Keynes? Do you know about Austrian economics? Are you familiar with actual evidence equally between these two schools of thought?

If you are not, will you now try to understand them?

If you have no intention in doing so can you honestly agree that your political choices come from a rational understanding of economics or are you dismissing economics of not being important enough as a factor in all our lives.

Be open to your logic, do not get emotional and become led by whim. Understand about Objectivism and learn to appreciate the late, great, Ayn Rand.

Be free to choose and make sure you are actually being given a choice.

The 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, granting women the right to vote, was ratified on August 18, 1920.

She felt they were to cautious, she didn't think they were going any where.

To abolish discrimination in the workplace and in education. Also to pass the Equal rights Amendment that would guarantee gender equality under the law. And to protect reproductive rights, especially the right to an abortion.
