Sufferage Timespan
-
First Edowed School for Girls
Emma Hart Willard starts the Troy Female Seminary in New York, and it is the first edowed school for girls. This is a significant part to the women sufferage movement because it is the first school for girls. That was uncommon for girls in the 1800s, and that is why I think it is important. -
Sarah Grimke Starts Career
Sarah Grimke starts her career as an abolitionist and a women's rights advocate. I think this is important because she is trying to show her independece and is trying to get women's rights. She is eventually stopped by a male abolitionists who said her speaking was a problem. -
The LFLRA
The "LFLRA" was the Lowell Female Labor Reform Association, and that was when female textile workers organized a union and demanded a 10-hour work day. This is important because I think that women are starting to become more independent and demanding equal rights, such as an appropriate number of hours to work -
First Women's Rights Convention
The first women's rights convention in the United States is held in Seneca Falls, New York. After this meeting, these meetings were held on a regular basis. This is important because it was one of the first known meetings organized by women to talk and debate about the emerging women's movement. -
Sojourner Truth's Speech
Sojourner Truth, who was a former slave at the time, gives her famous "Ain't I a Woman" speech at a women's rights convention in Akron, Ohio, This was a very important speech because she gave her view of the unfairness and unequalness between white and black women in the United States -
American Equal Rights Association
This was an organization created by Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton that brought black and white men and women that were decitated in universal sufferage. This is significant to the sufferage timeline because it was a start of the sufferage movement. -
NWSA
The National Woman Suffrage Association or NWSA for short, was founded by Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. This is important because it was a start of a very good sufferage movement organization. -
Susan B. Anthony Arrested
Susan B. Anthony is arrested because she was seen trying to vote for Ulysses S. Grant for the presidential election. I think this is important because it was seen as an example for other women to try harder to get the right to vote. -
The NWSA and the AWSA are Reunited
The NWSA and the AWSA are once again reunited and under the leadership and rule of Elizabeth Cady Stanton. On this same year, Jane Addams founded the Hull House. This was a big year for the sufferagettes because it not only brought to big sufferage groups together, but the Hull House was helping many poor and new immigrants with many things. -
Theodore Roosevelt and the Women Sufferage Plank
Roosevelt and the Progressive Party are the first political party to adopt a women's sufferage party. This is important because it proves that Theodore Roosevelt is thinking about the women's vote. -
World War 1
Woodrow Wilson knows that he needs the women's votes for this war. This is important because it was the last big thing before they were granted the right to vote. -
The Right to Vote
After all of the years, the women of the United States are allowed the right to vote with the Nineteenth Amendment. This is important because it was the end and the ultimate goal for many women, and it was finally achieved.
