    THE WOMEN'S RIGHTS MOVEMENT IN UPSTATE NEW YORK
    A full report of the woman's rights agitation in the State of New York, would in a measure be the history of the movement. In this State, the preliminary battles in the anti-slavery, temperance, educational, and religious societies were fought; the first Governmental aid given to higher education of woman, and her voice first heard in teachers' associations. Here the first Woman's Rights Convention was held, the first demand made for suffrage, the first society formed for this purpose, and the first legislative efforts made to secure the civil and political rights of women; commanding the attention of leading members of the bar....Here too the pulpit made the first demand for the political rights of woman. Here was the first temperance society formed by women, the first medical college opened to them, and woman first ordained for the ministry.

    The Women's suffrage movement in the United States
    The womens suffrage movement in the United States achieved its goal of winning full voting rights for women when the nineteenth amendment was ratified in 1920.
    The suffragist movement in the United States was an outgrowth of the general womens rights movement that officially began with the Seneca Falls Convention of 1848. Several leading figures in the antislavery movement had also begun to question the political and economic subjugation of women in a society that claimed to be a democracy. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, Martha C, Wright, and Mary Ann McClintock issued a call for a convention concerning the rights of women. That convention met in Seneca Falls, New York on 19-20 July 1848. The convention adopted a Declaration of Principles, deliberately modeled on the Declaration of Independence, which stated, We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal. . . . In addition to the Declaration of Principles, the Seneca Convention also asserted that women should have the right to preach, to be educated, to teach, and to earn a living. The delegates passed a resolution stating that it is the sacred duty of the women of this country to secure to themselves their sacred right to the elective franchise. With these words the struggle began in earnest to win full voting rights for women in the United States. bodyOffer(26088) The most influential leaders of the womens rights movement in the second half of the nineteenth century were Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. But the united struggle for womens voting rights broke into two factions following the Civil War. Led by Anthony and Stanton, those who believed that they should seek an amendment to the U.S. Constitution formed the National Woman Suffrage Association in May of 1869. Later that same year, the American Woman Suffrage Association was formed by those who believed the most effective strategy would be to pressure state legislatures to amend state constitutions. The leaders of this group were Lucy Stone and Julia Ward Howe.

    http://womencentral.net/being-colored-speech.html
    Mary Church Terrell speaks on "being colored Allies?
    "male citizens twenty-one years of age," many suffragist leaders felt left behind. Leaders of suffragist organizations appealed to southern states to allow women the right to vote. By giving women the right to vote, they argued, southern states could further dilute the impact of black voters. Following Reconstruction, nearly every southern state had passed so-called "Jim Crow" laws, which imposed literacy requirements on voters. As suffragist leaders pointed out, in nearly every southern state, a greater proportion of women could read then men. Belle Kearney, an influential delegate of the National Woman's Suffrage Association, explained, "The enfranchisement of women would insure immediate and durable white supremacy..for, upon unquestionable authority, it can be stated that in every southern state but one, there are more educated women than all the illiterate voters, white and black, native and foreign, combined."
    Terrell was well-educated, had graduated from Oberlin University with a degree in classics in 1884, and, like many whites of her class, toured Europe upon graduation, becoming fluent in French, German and Italian.

    he antislavery crusade of the early nineteenth century served as a training ground for the women's suffrage movement. Douglass actively supported the women's rights movement, yet he believed black men should receive suffrage first. Demonstrating his support for women's rights, Douglass participated in the first feminist convention at Seneca Falls in July of 1848 where he was largely responsible for passage of the motion to support female suffrage. Together with abolitionist and feminist Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Douglass signed the Declaration of Sentiments that became the movement's manifesto. His newspaper, the North Star masthead once read "Right is of no Sex - Truth is of no Color." A women's rights activist to the end, Douglass died in February 1895, having just attended a Woman's Council meeting.

    The History of Women's Suffrage

    Suffrage Movement Leader
    Susan B. Anthony
    While the women were doing a great job a gaining support with in them, men also started to help out. One of the first men to really engage in the women’s movement was Dr. A Caswell Ellis, a university professor, who played a leading role in the final phase of the struggle for women’s right to vote. He edited The Texas Democrat, a suffrage newspaper the circulated during the 1919 campaign for the state amendment (Temple 141). Another man who greatly helped out the women’s suffrage movement was S. P. Brooks. He was the president of Baylor University and his main objective for having women vote was he felt they would voting allies in reform causes, especially prohibition. He expressed at a speech he gave to the Waco Equal Suffrage Association that women would hopefully help closes the saloons and proceeds with the prohibition laws.
    Women in protest during the
    suffrage movement While women were greatly helped out by this time period and the action that took place within women’s movements there still was never a conclusion and a truly fair treatment of women. To this day women have not been treated equals to men. This has been a constant battle for the past one hundred years and until the women are treated same as the men there will continue to be a problem between the two genders. Work Cited:

    I agree fully with Jane Eliosoffs review and just wish to add that this wonderful book should be required reading in high schools and colleges. One of its best features is that it is truly multicultural in its treatment of the "first wave" of the womens rights movement, even though this book was written before the word "multicultural" was coined.

    Susan B. Anthony
    American suffragist

    Through Anthony's determined work, many professional fields became open to women by the end of the nineteenth century.
    Introduction
    Susan B. Anthony's Quaker upbringing greatly influenced the role she played in nineteenth-century America. Quakers, properly known as the Religious Society of Friends, arose as a religious group in the mid-seventeenth century in England. They founded their religion on the belief that priests and places of organized worship are not necessary for a person to experience God. They feel there is an "inner light" inside everyone that can guide them to divine truth. Quakers do not believe in armed conflict or slavery, and they were among the first groups to practice full equality between men and women. Other American women did not experience the freedom and respect Anthony did while growing up. She worked to change that disparity, by becoming a leader in the crusade for women's rights. Born in 1820 in a New England farmhouse, Anthony was the daughter of Lucy Read Anthony and Daniel Anthony, a cotton-mill owner. Her father instilled in his children the ideas of self-reliance, self-discipline, and self-worth. Since Quakers stressed a moral life, both her parents were strong supporters of the abolitionist (antislavery) and the temperance (avoidance of alcohol) movements. They also believed in the importance of work, and Anthony performed many tasks in her father's factory while attending school.
    Protests inequality
    After having completed her schooling at the age of 17, Anthony began teaching in schools in rural New York state. Because it was regarded as similar to motherhood, teaching was one of the few professions open to women at the time. It allowed them to establish their own identities by gaining economic independence. However, teaching wages for men and women differed greatly. Anthony's weekly salary was equal to one-fifth of that received by her male colleagues. When she protested this inequality, she lost her job. She then secured a better position as principal of the Girls' Department of the Canajoharie Academy in Rochester, New York.

    American women gained their right to vote in 1920. But in California, women had already won the right to vote in 1911, nearly a decade earlier.
    The 1896 and 1911 suffrage campaigns demonstrated the mature political savvy women had acquired. Both campaigns drew help from suffragists all over America, but the assistance to the 1911 effort was formidable. Women remembered who defeated them in 1896.
    The night before the election, the famed Madame Nordica, in town for ground-breaking for the Panama-Pacific Exposition, unexpectedly appeared in Union Square. She entreated all to give women liberty the vote. Nordica closed by singing "The Star Spangled Banner" to the cheers of the assembled crowd.
    The next day, October 10, 1911, suffragist precinct workers geared for fraud and mayhem at the ballot boxes in San Francisco and Alameda counties. An impressive corps of ballot box watchers, 1,066 men and women, scrutinized every voting poll in San Francisco. Watchers tallied at least 3,000 fraudulent ballots. The day after the election, City newspapers declared the California women's franchise vote dead. As anticipated, S.F. county voted 35,471 No; 21,912 Yes. Alameda voted 7,818 No; 6,075 Yes. But suffrage workers smiled when the other votes started to roll in. Slowly they came, as they had been sought. The small towns and valleys delivered the victorious votes that returned a majority of 3,587. In 1911, California women joined the franchised women of Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho and Washington. In 1912, Oregon, Kansas and Arizona women won their vote. West coast women claimed their franchise. The potential power of that vote did not go unnoticed.
