Not all women could vote before 1920, when the 19th amendment was ratified. In 1848, the Seneca Falls convention happened in Seneca Falls, New York. This was a convention where suffragists from all different walks of life met to discuss the inequality of being a woman. You were property to your husband, and in all different types of situations you were less than. I'm going to be talking a little bit about some of the suffragists who helped get women the right to vote. I have gotten all of this research from the book Finish the Fight, by Veronica Chambers and reporters at the New York Times.
One of the reasons I really like this book is because it talks about a lot of the details of the suffrage movement you wouldn't usually learn. One thing I learned about was how women got the message of a suffrage movement out. How do you spread a message? Today, it's simple. Send a text, tweet, or any other type of communication. But back in the 19th century, there was no tv, radio or internet. If suffragists wanted to start rallying, and building a community, they would need a way to spread a message. So Josephine St. Pierre Ruffin, a notable African American suffragist, started a newspaper named The Woman’s Era, that would go through different cities and towns and spread the word to people. Another thing I learned after reading the book was that Native women were the example of a good society where men and women were treated equally. Women’s opinions were valued, and had a say in what happened in their tribes. This was a really good book for all audiences, kids and adults alike. With wonderful illustrations, greatly written information, this is a 10 out of 10. Thanks for watching!
