21. Mark Twain Quotations - Womens' Suffrage suffrage has always been that women could not The arguments against woman suffrage have always taken prophesying ever since the woman s rights movement began http://www.twainquotes.com/Suffrage.html

Directory of Mark Twain's maxims, quotations, and various opinions: A B C D ... W X Y Z SUFFRAGE (Women's right to vote) Over the years, Mark Twain changes his mind about female sufferage: I think I could write a pretty strong argument in favor of female suffrage, but I do not want to do it. I never want to see the women voting, and gabbling about politics, and electioneering. There is something revolting in the thought. It would shock me inexpressibly for an angel to come down from above and ask me to take a drink with him (though I should doubtless consent); but it would shock me still more to see one of our blessed earthly angels peddling election tickets among a mob of shabby scoundrels she never saw before. - Letter to St. Louis Missouri Democrat , March, 1867 Women, go your ways! Seek not to beguile us of our imperial privileges. Content yourself with your little feminine triflesyour babies, your benevolent societies and your knittingand let your natural bosses do the voting. Stand backyou will be wanting to go to war next. We will let you teach school as much as you want to, and we will pay you half wages for it, too, but beware! we don't want you to crowd us too much. - Letter to St. Louis

the national woman suffrage association the american woman suffrage association the league of women voters Institutions Formed to Promote Women's Suffrage Several influential organizations formed in the late 1800's to promote women's right to vote. Some of the organizations existed strictly to promote women's voting rights, but others, such as the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, sought women's suffrage along with other goals. (pictured above: 1st Women's Congress) Library of Congress photos) The National Woman Suffrage Association Members of the National Woman Suffrage Association In 1869, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Stanton formed the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) and worked for a woman suffrage amendment to the Constitution. The chief goal of the NWSA was an amendment to the Constitution giving women the vote. The NWSA also demanded equal education and equal employment opportunities for women. Anthony served as president of the group from 1892 until 1900. Carrie Catt served as president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association from 1900 to 1904, and from 1915 to 1920, when Amendment 19 to the United States Constitution was passed, giving women the right to vote. In 1890, the NWSA joined with the more moderate American Woman Suffrage Association to form the National American Woman Suffrage Association. Suffragists held conventions, waged state-by-state campaigns, and distributed literature to win support for their cause.

33. Women's Suffrage Movement Women, Their rights and Nothing Less The suffrage Movement from 18401920 by E. Hamrick and D. Levene from American Memories, Library of Congress http http://eduscapes.com/42explore/suffrage.htm

The Topic: Women's Suffrage Movement Easier - Women's suffrage is the right of women to vote. The women's suffrage movement was the struggle to gain the same right to vote as men. Harder - With a few exceptions, women today have the same voting rights as men. However, this was not always the case. During US colonial times, voting was limited to adult males who owned property. Many people thought that property owners had the strongest interest in good government; therefore, they were the best qualified to make decisions. In the early nineteenth century, changing social conditions and the idea of equality led to the beginning of the woman suffrage movement. By then, more women were receiving education. Women also began to participate in reform movements and take increased interest in politics. Women and men began to question why women were not also allowed to vote. Supporters of this drive were called suffragists. By Popular Demand: 'Votes for Women' Suffrage Pictures, 1850-1920

Denmark saw the reform carried out in 1915. The women of our neighbouring country, Sweden, like those of the US, Britain and many other European countries, had to wait until the beginning of the 1920s for the granting of parliamentary rights; in some instances, such as France, the reform did not come until after World War II. The conflict was exacerbated by a system of political representation inherited from Swedish rule which served to uphold traditional class divisions right up to 1906. This meant that the nobility, which represented the old traditions of Swedish rule, held considerable political power. Power amongst the bourgeoisie had also accumulated into the hands of the wealthy Swedish-speakers as a result of property-based voting rights. The clergy began, on the other hand, to increasingly recruit from the ranks of the Finnish peasant population, for which reason Fennomania became most firmly rooted in the clergy.

History of the Movement Living the Legacy: The Women's Rights Movement 1848 - 1998 Introduction Revolution Declaration Convention ... Complex Issues Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has ." That was Margaret Mead's conclusion after a lifetime of observing very diverse cultures around the world. Her insight has been borne out time and again throughout the development of this country of ours. Being allowed to live life in an atmosphere of religious freedom, having a voice in the government you support with your taxes, living free of lifelong enslavement by another person. These beliefs about how life should and must be lived were once considered outlandish by many. But these beliefs were fervently held by visionaries whose steadfast work brought about changed minds and attitudes. Now these beliefs are commonly shared across U.S. society. Another initially outlandish idea that has come to pass: United States citizenship for women. 1998 marked the 150th Anniversary of a movement by women to achieve full civil rights in this country. Over the past seven generations, dramatic social and legal changes have been accomplished that are now so accepted that they go unnoticed by people whose lives they have utterly changed. Many people who have lived through the recent decades of this process have come to accept blithely what has transpired. And younger people, for the most part, can hardly believe life was ever otherwise. They take the changes completely in stride, as how life has always been.
