       Woman's Suffrage Movement Compared To Feminism Today
       By: patrick jane Date: August 27, 2018, 1:21 am

       Women’s Suffrage: The Movement
       [b][size=10pt]in: Antebellum Period, Civil War, Reconstruction,
       and Progressivism, Eras in Social Welfare History, Woman
       Suffrage, World War I and the 1920s[/b][/size]
  HTML https://socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/woman-suffrage/woman-suffrage-movement/
       The beginning of the struggle for woman’s suffrage in the United
       States is usually traced to “The Declaration of Sentiments”
       produced in 1848 at the first woman’s rights convention in
       Seneca Falls, N. Y. when a group of abolitionist
       activists–mostly women, but some men–gathered to discuss the
       issue of woman’s rights. Most of the delegates agreed: American
       women were autonomous individuals who deserved their own
       political identities.
       “We hold these truths to be self-evident,” proclaimed the
       Declaration of Sentiments that the delegates produced, “that all
       men and women are created equal, that they are endowed by their
       creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are
       life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” What this meant,
       among other things, was that they believed women should have the
       right to vote.
       During the 1850s, the woman’s rights movement gathered steam,
       but lost momentum when the Civil War began. In the aftermath of
       the Civil War, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton found
       themselves increasingly at odds with many of their former reform
       allies.
       Many reformers wanted to focus on winning rights — including the
       right to vote — for newly emancipated African-American men.
       Their efforts led to the passing of the 14th and 15th Amendments
       to the Constitution. Anthony and Stanton were against these
       amendments because they included the word “male.” They believed
       that with the word “male” written in these amendments, it would
       be even harder for women to obtain the right to vote for women.
       Anthony and Stanton began to concentrate exclusively on woman’s
       rights. Susan B. Anthony had become a brilliant organizer and
       political strategist, and she showed a tireless devotion to the
       cause. In 1868, she and Stanton started publishing a newspaper
       for woman’s rights: Revolution.
       The paper championed woman’s suffrage, equal pay for equal work,
       woman’s education, the rights of working women and the opening
       of new occupations for women, as well as the liberalization of
       divorce laws.

       In May of 1869, Anthony and Stanton formed the National Woman
       Suffrage Association. This organization would focus on securing
       a federal woman suffrage amendment as well as working on key
       state campaigns for the vote. Anthony served as a member of the
       executive committee and later as vice-president, while Stanton
       was the president.
       Others argued that it was unfair to endanger black
       enfranchisement by tying it to the markedly less popular
       campaign for female suffrage. The pro-15th-Amendment faction
       formed a group called the American Woman Suffrage Association
       and fought for the franchise on a state-by-state basis.
       In 1872, suffragists brought a series of court challenges
       designed to test whether voting was a “privilege” of “U. S.
       citizenship” now belonging to women by virtue of the recently
       adopted 14th Amendment. One such challenge grew out of a
       criminal prosecution of Susan B. Anthony for illegally voting in
       the 1872 election.
       The first case to make its way to the Supreme Court, however,
       was Minor vs Happersett (1875). In Minor, a unanimous Court
       rejected the argument that either the privileges and immunities
       clause or the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment
       extended the vote to women. Following Minor, suffragists turned
       their attention from the courts to the states and to Congress.
       In 1878, a constitutional amendment was proposed that provided
       “The right of citizens to vote shall not be abridged by the
       United States or by any State on account of sex.” This same
       amendment would be introduced in every session of Congress for
       the next 41 years.
       In 1890 the National Woman Suffrage Association and the American
       Woman Suffrage Association merged to form the National American
       Woman Suffrage Association. (Elizabeth Cady Stanton was the
       organization’s first president.) By then, the suffragists’
       approach had changed.
       Instead of arguing that women deserved the same rights and
       responsibilities as men because women and men were “created
       equal,” the new generation of activists argued that women
       deserved the vote because they were different from men. They
       could make their domesticity into a political virtue, using the
       franchise to create a purer, more moral “maternal commonwealth.”

       Woman Suffrage Timeline (1840-1920)
       1840
       Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton are barred from
       attending the World Anti-Slavery Convention held in London. This
       prompts them to hold a Women's Convention in the US.
       1848
       Seneca Falls, New York is the location for the first Women's
       Rights Convention. Elizabeth Cady Stanton writes "The
       Declaration of Sentiments" creating the agenda of women's
       activism for decades to come.
       1849
       The first state constitution in California extends property
       rights to women.
       1850
       Worcester, Massachusetts, is the site of the first National
       Women's Rights Convention. Frederick Douglass, Paulina Wright
       Davis, Abby Kelley Foster, William Lloyd Garrison, Lucy Stone
       and Sojourner Truth are in attendance. A strong alliance is
       formed with the Abolitionist Movement.
       1851
       Worcester, Massachusetts is the site of the second National
       Women's Rights Convention. Participants included Horace Mann,
       New York Tribune columnist Elizabeth Oaks Smith, and Reverend
       Harry Ward Beecher, one of the nation's most popular preachers.
       At a women's rights convention in Akron, Ohio, Sojourner Truth,
       a former slave, delivers her now memorable speech, "Ain't I a
       woman?"
       1852
       The issue of women's property rights is presented to the Vermont
       Senate by Clara Howard Nichols. This is a major issue for the
       Suffragists.
       "Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Harriet Beecher Stowe, is published and
       quickly becomes a bestseller.
       1853
       Women delegates, Antoinette Brown and Susan B. Anthony, are not
       allowed to speak at The World's Temperance Convention held in
       New York City.
       1861-1865
       During the Civil War, efforts for the suffrage movement come to
       a halt. Women put their energies toward the war effort.
       1866
       Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony form the American
       Equal Rights Association, an organization dedicated to the goal
       of suffrage for all regardless of gender or race.
       1868
       Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Parker Pillsbury
       publish the first edition of The Revolution.  This periodical
       carries the motto “Men, their rights and nothing more; women,
       their rights and nothing less!”
       Caroline Seymour Severance establishes the New England Woman’s
       Club.  The “Mother of Clubs” sparked the club movement which
       became popular by the late nineteenth century.
       In Vineland, New Jersey, 172 women cast ballots in a separate
       box during the presidential election.
       Senator S.C. Pomeroy of Kansas introduces the federal woman’s
       suffrage amendment in Congress.
       Many early suffrage supporters, including Susan B. Anthony,
       remained single because in the mid-1800s, married women could
       not own property in their own rights and could not make legal
       contracts on their own behalf.
       The Fourteenth Amendment is ratified. "Citizens" and "voters"
       are defined exclusively as male.
       1869
       The American Equal Rights Association is wrecked by
       disagreements over the Fourteenth Amendment and the question of
       whether to support the proposed Fifteenth Amendment which would
       enfranchise Black American males while avoiding the question of
       woman suffrage entirely.
       Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony found the National
       Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA), a more radical institution,
       to achieve the vote through a Constitutional amendment as well
       as push for other woman’s rights issues.  NWSA was based in New
       York
       Lucy Stone, Henry Blackwell, Julia Ward Howe and other more
       conservative activists form the American Woman Suffrage
       Association (AWSA) to work for woman suffrage through amending
       individual state constitutions.  AWSA was based in Boston.
       Wyoming territory is organized with a woman suffrage provision.
       1870
       The Fifteenth Amendment gave black men the right to vote.  NWSA
       refused to work for its ratification and instead the members
       advocate for a Sixteenth Amendment that would dictate universal
       suffrage.  Frederick Douglass broke with Stanton and Anthony
       over the position of NWSA.
       The Woman’s Journal is founded and edited by Mary Livermore,
       Lucy Stone, and Henry Blackwell.
       1871
       Victoria Woodhull addresses the House Judiciary Committee,
       arguing women’s rights to vote under the fourteenth amendment.
       The Anti-Suffrage Party is founded.
       1872
       Susan B. Anthony casts her ballot for Ulysses S. Grant in the
       presidential election and is arrested and brought to trial in
       Rochester, New York.  Fifteen other women are arrested for
       illegally voting.  Sojourner Truth appears at a polling booth in
       Battle Creek, Michigan, demanding a ballot to vote; she is
       turned away.
       Abigail Scott Duniway convinces Oregon lawmakers to pass laws
       granting a married woman’s rights such as starting and operating
       her own business, controlling the money she earns, and the right
       to protect her property if her husband leaves.
       1874
       The Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) is founded by
       Annie Wittenmyer. With Frances Willard at its head (1876), the
       WCTU became an important proponent in the fight for woman
       suffrage.  As a result, one of the strongest opponents to
       women's enfranchisement was the liquor lobby, which feared women
       might use their vote to prohibit the sale of liquor.
       1876
       Susan B. Anthony and Matilda Joslyn Gage disrupt the official
       Centennial program at Independence Hall in Philadelphia,
       presenting a “Declaration of Rights for Women” to the Vice
       President.
       1878
       A Woman Suffrage Amendment is proposed in the U.S. Congress.
       When the 19th Amendment passes forty-one years later, it is
       worded exactly the same as this 1878 Amendment.
       1887
       The first vote on woman suffrage is taken in the Senate and is
       defeated.
       1888
       The National Council of Women in the United States is
       established to promote the advancement of women in society.
       1890
       NWSA and AWSA merge and the National American Woman Suffrage
       Association is formed. Stanton is the first president. The
       Movement focuses efforts on securing suffrage at the state
       level.
       Wyoming is admitted to the Union with a state constitution
       granting woman suffrage.
       The American Federation of Labor declares support for woman
       suffrage.
       The South Dakota campaign for woman suffrage loses.
       1890-1925
       The Progressive Era begins. Women from all classes and
       backgrounds enter public life. Women's roles expand and result
       in an increasing politicization of women. Consequently the issue
       of woman suffrage becomes part of mainstream politics.
       1892
       Olympia Brown founds the Federal Suffrage Association to
       campaign for woman’s suffrage.
       1893
       Colorado adopts woman suffrage.
       1894
       600,000 signatures are presented to the New York State
       Constitutional Convention in a failed effort to bring a woman
       suffrage amendment to the voters.
       1895
       Elizabeth Cady Stanton publishes The Woman’s Bible.  After its
       publication, NAWSA moves to distance itself from Stanton because
       many conservative suffragists considered her to be too radical
       and, thus, potentially damaging to the suffrage campaign.
       1896
       Mary Church Terrell, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, and Frances E.W.
       Harper among others found the the National Association of
       Colored Women’s Clubs.
       Utah joins the Union with full suffrage for women.
       Idaho adopts woman suffrage.
       1903
       Mary Dreier, Rheta Childe Dorr, Leonora O'Reilly, and others
       form the Women's Trade Union League of New York, an organization
       of middle- and working-class women dedicated to unionization for
       working women and to woman suffrage.
       1910
       Washington State adopts woman suffrage.
       The Women’s Political Union organizes the first suffrage parade
       in New York City.
       1911
       The National Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage (NAOWS) is
       organized. Led by Mrs. Arthur Dodge, its members included
       wealthy, influential women, some Catholic clergymen, distillers
       and brewers, urban political machines, Southern congressmen, and
       corporate capitalists.
       The elaborate California suffrage campaign succeeds by a small
       margin.
       1912
       Woman Suffrage is supported for the first time at the national
       level by a major political party -- Theodore Roosevelt's Bull
       Moose Party.
       Twenty thousand suffrage supporters join a New York City
       suffrage parade.
       Oregon, Kansas, and Arizona adopt woman suffrage.
       
       1913
       In 1913, suffragists organized a parade down Pennsylvania Avenue
       in Washington, DC. The parade was the first major suffrage
       spectacle organized by the National American Woman Suffrage
       Association (NAWSA).
       The two women then organized the Congressional Union, later
       known at the National Women’s Party (1916).  They borrowed
       strategies from the radical Women’s Social and Political Union
       (WSPU) in England.
       1914

       It just seems so odd to me that there was a time when anyone
       (women included) were not seen as worthy enough to be granted
       full rights.

       [/quote]I know and that they counted people as half a person or
       a quarter etc. People were property. I think there are major
       differences between feminism of today and the women's rights
       movement of the early 1900s. That Mark Levin video with the two
       powerful women is excellent and the women brought up the women's
       suffrage movement and talked about it.
       That's what prompted me to to start this thread. I have more
       study to do in with all the other things I dabble in. Now that
       tj is here we have another active woman here. Maybe this thread
       can go somewhere or I will find more to post eventually.  ;D
