82. History Of Suffrage, Jefferson County, New York No less a women’s rights leader than Susan B. Anthony once urged Marietta Holley to use her fame as an author to speak to Congress on behalf of suffrage. http://www.northnet.org/stlawrenceaauw/jeffcnty.htm

The following is a Woman of Courage profile produced by the St. Lawrence County, NY Branch of the American Association of University Women. History of Suffrage Jefferson County, New York While not a “hot bed” of suffrage activity in New York State, northern NY nonetheless did long maintain an interest in obtaining the right to vote for women. As early as 1846, two years before the famous Women’s Rights Convention held in Seneca Falls, NY, six Jefferson County women signed a petition to the state legislature asking for the “rights which have ungenerously been withheld from them, rights which they as citizens of the state of New York may reasonably and rightfully claim.” The signers included Eleanor Vincent, Lydia A. Williams, Lydia Osborn, Susan Ormsby, and Anna Bishop. A best-selling author active in the suffrage movement, Marietta Holley , was born on July 16, 1836 on her father's farm near Pierrepont Manor in Jefferson County, NY. Holley, who lived to be 90, wrote 21 humorous books. Her style of writing was often compared both in content and popularity with that of Mark Twain. She used wit and gentle satire to prose questions concerning women's lack of rights in the male-dominated world. Her fictional spokeswoman, Samantha, wife of Josiah Allen, speaks in a rustic dialect, poking fun at all sorts of claims and pretensions. Samantha cannot understand why men are trying so hard to protect women from the effort it takes to walk to the polling booth and slip a piece of paper in a box. She has noticed that these same protective instincts do not apply to churning butter, baking bread, and washing clothes, which she observes take considerably more effort.

Post WW11 The Early 20th Century The Campaign for Women's Suffrage 1903 - 28 In 1903, the campaign for women's suffrage was intensified by the founding of the Women's Social and Political Union. The WSPU - associated particularly with Mrs Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters, Christabel and Sylvia - was far more militant than the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies, led by Milicent Garrett Fawcett. WSPU members, known as 'suffragettes', became increasingly violent in the years before the World War One, as successive governments failed to reform the voting laws. The harsh manner in which imprisoned suffragettes were treated, including forcible feeding of women on hunger strike, contributed to the growing public sympathy for the cause of women's suffrage (in tandem with imaginative - and legal - campaigning of the moderate NUWSS). The outbreak of war in 1914 led to a political truce in the suffrage movement but the participation of British women in the war effort, working in factories and the armed services as well as in the home, was a major factor in the Government's decision to give women over the age of thirty the right to vote in 1918. This right was extended to women over 21 in 1928.

Women's Suffrage in Arkansas Governor Charles H. Brough (center, wearing white suit) with woman suffrage delegation on the steps of the new state capitol. Picture from the files of the Arkansas History Commission. In The Six Boxes of a Commonweale , 1606, Jean Bodin said: Now as for the order and degree of women, I meddle not with it; only I think it meet them to be kept far off from all magistracies, places of command, judgments, public assemblies, and counsels: so to be attentive only unto their womanly and domestical business. In 1632 an English jurist made a similar statement in the introduction to The Lawes Resolution of Womens Rights Women have nothing to do in constituting Lawes, or consenting to them, in interpreting of Lawes or in hearing them interpreted at lectures, leets or charges, and yet they stand strictly tied to men's establishments, little or nothing excused by ignorance. They had no idea what would happen just over three centuries later in America's history. Not only would women fight to get the vote, but they would be elected to positions in government and hold jobs in their society.

The passage of the 19th Amendment was the culmination of the first Women's Rights Convention held in Seneca Falls, New York in 1848. Attendees drafted a Declaration of Sentiments, which addressed the social, civil and religious rights of women including the right of franchise. It detailed injustices to women in areas as diverse as education, occupation, participation in the church, and property rights. In 1878, the Susan B. Anthony amendment, which would grant U.S. women the right to vote, was first introduced in Congress. In 1919, the House and the Senate passed the suffrage amendment, by votes of 304 to 89 and 56 to 25 respectively. Wisconsin was the first state to ratify the amendment on June 10, 1919. Tennessee provided the last vote necessary on August 26, 1920. The 19th amendment simply states that "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex."

It took 150 years after the signing of our Declaration of Independence for women to win the right to vote. http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/hillaryclintonbeijingspeech.htm

Hillary Rodham Clinton: Remarks to the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women Plenary Session delivered 5 September 1995, Beijing, China Mrs. Mongella , Under Secretary Kittani , distinguished delegates and guests: I would like to thank the Secretary General of the United Nations for inviting me to be a part of the United Nations Fourth World Conference of Women. This is truly a celebration a celebration of the contributions women make in every aspect of life: in the home, on the job, in their communities, as mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, learners, workers, citizens and leaders. It is also a coming together, much of the way women come together ever day in every country. We come together in fields and in factories. We come together in village markets and supermarkets. We come together in living rooms and board rooms. Whether it is while playing with our children in the park, or washing clothes in a river, or taking a break at the office water cooler, we come together and talk about our aspirations and concern. And time and again, our talk turns to our children and our families. However different we may be, there is far more that unites us than divides us. We share a common future, and are here to find common ground so that we may help bring new dignity and respect to women and girls all over the world. By doing this, we bring new strength and stability to families as well. By gathering in Beijing , we are focusing world attention on issues that matter most in the lives of women and their families: access to education, health care, jobs and credit, the chance to enjoy basic legal and human rights and participate fully in the political life of their countries.
