Women's Suffrage Thesis

128 Words1 Page

Winning women suffrage one step at a time while researching texts written about women’s right to vote, I found a few authors who published books about the difficulties of women’s gaining suffrage, particularly in documents, articles, and Journals . These authors often placed women suffrage they were studying into historical context by discussing the important events in why the women’s suffrage movements was the struggle for the right of women to vote and run for office. However, while these authors discuss documents, articles, and journals, I could not find much discussion about another important source of women suffrage. My expectation for this paper is to inform how women were discourage by men, which took women’s time to convince male voters

    Susan B. Anthony was an equal rights activist and one of the founders of feminism. She was fined $100 for voting illegally in the 1872 election. She was outraged by this, and traveled the country speaking on women’s suffrage and equal rights. Though women weren’t given the right to vote until 14 years following her death, she delivered a powerful speech, now known as “Women’s Right to Suffrage” to express her anger with the lack of rights in this country. She argues that “we that people” isn’t just inclusive to white men, and that both men and women should be given equal opportunity.

    Although they were fighting for a worthy cause, many did not agree with these women’s radical views. These conservative thinkers caused a great road-block on the way to enfranchisement. Most of them were men, who were set in their thoughts about women’s roles, who couldn’t understand why a woman would deserve to vote, let alone want to vote. But there were also many women who were not concerned with their fundamental right to vote. Because some women were indifferent in regards to suffrage, they set back those who were working towards the greater good of the nation. However, the suffragettes were able to overcome these obstacles by altering their tactics, while still maintaining their objective.

    I was thinking about how far I’ve come in my battle for women's suffrage! So many big and exciting events have happened in the last few years. For example, when I was apart of the National American Woman Suffrage Association for 2 years, confounding the Congressional Union, and then founding the National Woman’s party! It’s crazy to think that I started my full-time suffrage career in 1912, and looking back, I’ve accomplished so much! I’ve led pickets at the White House and Congress and despite America’s entry into World War 1, I refused to abandon these tactics. My colleagues and I were arrested and imprisoned, but that didn’t stop us. We engaged in hunger strikes and sustained forced feedings at the hand of the authorities. All of these tactics
