The Suffrage Movement The Women’s Right’s Movement that grew from the First Woman’s Rights Convention of 1848 in Seneca Falls, NY. was closely tied to the Abolitionist Movement in the years preceding the Civil War. With Union Victory, there was support for a Constitutional Amendment to give freed slaves the right to vote. Many Suffragists as supporters of women’s voting rights were called assumed that they would be granted voting rights with the newly freed slaves. The Fifteenth Amendment made no mention of women’s voting rights however and it would be another half century 72 years after the First Women’s Rights Convention before the Nineteenth Amendment granted women the right to vote. Courtesy Woodhull Watson More Suffrage Parade Pictures The 72 year struggle for the vote was led by Elizabeth Cady Stanton , and her friend Susan B. Anthony who traveled the country to rally support for women’s rights. In 1872 Anthony and several other women actually voted and made headlines for doing it. She was arrested on Thanksgiving Day for her unlawful vote. She was convicted in 1873 at the United States Court House in Canandaigua, NY. She refused to pay her fine of $100, but Justice Ward Hunt allowed her to go free. Anthony called it, "The greatest judicial outrage history ever recorded."

The First Convention There is precious little remaining from the First Woman’s Rights Convention on July 19 and 20, 1848. Only the skeletal remains of the Wesleyan Chapel mark the location. They form the focus for Women’s Rights National Historical Park. The original drafts of Declaration of Sentiments , which catalyzed the Women’s Rights Movement, have disappeared. It was fortuitous that Frederick Douglass, the Abolitionist and former slave, attended the convention in Seneca Falls, NY and produced a pamphlet to report it’s proceedings. Only a few copies of Report of the Woman’s Rights Convention , Held at Seneca Falls, N.Y., July 19th and 20th, 1848, remain one is reproduced for Friends on this web site. The pamphlet is the only preserved record of the Declaration of Sentiments. This Declaration was written by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and patterned on the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration of Sentiments created a sensation because it called for women’s right to vote. This led to the Women’s Suffrage Movement and provided the focus for women’s rights for the next 70 years. The Convention had achieved Stanton’s main objective:

Course Essentials The Women’s Rights Movement from North to South The Women’s Rights Movement was an out growth cities of the northeast, but soon attracted proponents in emerging cities in the mid-western and western urban centers. The southern states were last to join the bandwagon. The first women’s rights convention took place in Seneca Falls, New York in 1848. While many women and men in the rest of the country had committed themselves to woman suffrage by the turn of the century, it wasn’t until the 1890s that women even began to organize in the south. See other "Women's Issues" such as "Birth Control" and "Childbirth." As early as 1848, women in the north began to join the paid work force, to seek higher educational opportunities and to perceive a new sense of selfhood. Early women’s rights activists such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton , Lucretia Mott and Susan B. Anthony, publicly advocated women’s equal rights in state legislatures, at the growing number of women’s conventions and in lectures to women’s social organizations. The early feminists, members of the upper middle class, based their agenda on human equality and gained political support by aligning themselves with the abolitionists. They maintained that women had the same rights to political, religious, economic and social independence as men simply because they were no different from men. The early platform was articulated in a speech written by Elizabeth Cady Stanton in 1892. In her speech, titled

Course Essentials Elizabeth Cady Stanton Elizabeth Cady Stanton, noted nineteenth women's rights activist, is known for her feminist ethic of independence. She fought for autonomy in every phase of her own life and advocated self-rule for all women. Her outspoken commitment to the attainment of absolute freedom for women was dauntless and unwavering. Stanton spoke out for the Edna Pontelliers of Victorian society, who bravely attempted to free themselves from society's limitations. She fully understood the power that Victorian convention held over its women and would likely view Edna's death with both anger and compassion. In 1848 Stanton and fellow rights advocate, Lucretia Mott, organized the first women's rights convention in Seneca Falls, New York. A wife and the mother of six children, she remained a leading voice in the women's rights and suffrage movement throughout her eighty-five years.

Women's Suffrage in Canada Women's rights were very important at the beginning of the twentieth century. Men didn't think women should have the same right's as they did. Some women didn't really care if they had the same right's as men, but others were very determined to prove that they were just as important as the men. This essay will explain why women wanted the right to vote and some of the things they went through to get it. Women began to fight for their right to vote at the beginning of the twentieth century. They wanted the same rights and opportunities that men had. The right to vote was just the start. In Britain the women took a violent approach to win their right to vote. One women was killed when she jumped in front of a race horse at the Derby. Another women told the King, "For God's sake, stop torturing women." The king then said "I really don't know what the world is coming to!" The world was coming to women having the same rights as men. In 1916 Manitoba became the first province to allow women to vote although the suffrage movement began in Ontario. Women in Canada used peaceful approaches to win the right to vote. They used arguments, demonstrations, and petitions. Britain used a different approach. They fought with with police, broke windows in the prime ministers house, and chained themselves to the gates of Buckingham Palace. One women even jumped in front of a race horse. Nelly McLung was born in 1873 in Grey County, Ontario. She was married on August.25, 1896 to Weslie McLung. They moved to Alberta and Nelly became very involved in politics and the movement of suffrage. In 1921 she became a liberal member of the Alberta Legislature. Nelly died at her home in Victoria, British Columbia in 1951. She lead the battle in getting women the right to vote in Manitoba and Alberta. Nelly once said "We may yet live to see the day when women will be no longer news! And it cannot come too soon. I want to be a peaceful, happy, normal human being, pursuing my unimpeded way through life never having to stop to explain defend, or apologize for my sex." Nelly gave women a challenge to fight with her for women's rights. Nelly was a liberal member of the Alberta legislature from 1921 to 1926. During this period of time she fought for mother's allowance , public health and nursing services, and free medical and dental services for school children.

Welcome Launching the struggle for women's rights While Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) articulated the case for women's rights, Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815-1902) launched the movement for women's rights and helped establish four organizations to promote it. She set the agenda: equal property rights, including the right to make and terminate contracts, the right to hold property, the right to inherit property; the right to share in the custody of children; and woman suffrage, to help secure these rights. In June 1847, the Stanton and her husband moved into a house on 32 Washington Street, Seneca Falls. The following year, Stanton was invited to visit Lucretia Mott and three Quaker friends in Waterloo, New York, about six miles north of Seneca Falls. They resolved to hold a meeting about women’s rights on July 19 and 20, 1848. They needed some kind of statement to focus their efforts. Stanton drafted

Now many of us are reading and studying to fill the gaps. Writings of Mary Wollstonecraft The campaign for women's rights was not confined to New Zealand and dates from the publication in Great Britain in 1792 of Mary Wollstonecraft's treatise, "A Vindication of the Rights of Women" - the first publication of its kind. In the dedication she states the "main argument" of the work, "built on this simple principle that, if woman be not prepared by education to become the companion of man, she will stop the progress of knowledge, for truth must be common to all, or it will be inefficacious with respect to its influence or general practice."

Although women had voted in Wyoming since 1869 and in Utah since 1870, New Zealand was the first nation state in the world to allow women to vote. Photograph courtesy of The Alexander Turnbull Library Wellington, New Zealand. The issue of women's suffrage was forced into prominence in New Zealand by the Women's Christian Temperance Union, led by Kate Sheppard. Sheppard (born in 1848) was one of the first female cyclists and a firm believer in equality of status in marriage. As head of the Temperance Union she proved to be a persistent and determined campaigner for women's political emancipation. Sheppard's efforts were aided by the politician Sir John Hall, who advocated feminist views in parliament, and provided support and astute advice to the Temperance Union. The Temperance movement used articles published in the press, pamphlets, public meetings, and petitions to publicise their cause.
