Poll watching while female
Description
An account of the resource
These women are being arrested for poll watching while female. It’s New York City, September 1910, the Democratic primary. Before the day is over six women at four different precincts in Hell’s Kitchen have been hauled before the magistrate court. Thread. <br /><br />They were all members of the Equality League for Self-Supporting Women. Harriot Stanton Blatch, ElizCadyStanton’s daughter, founded the group as an alternative to the boring New York State Woman Suffrage Association. <br /><br />Harriot had recruited the women to be poll watchers, though no New York woman could vote. They were making a statement about access to the ballot box generally. Some of the suffragists also supported Francis Coughlin, who was challenging Tammany Hall politician John Curry in the Democratic primary. Couglin’s campaign had provided poll watcher certifications to most of the suffragists. <br /><br />The Tammany machine, which wasn’t interested in expanding the electorate, had them ejected. The arrestees included Harriot’s daughter Nora and nurse Lavinia Dock. When told to leave, Dock replied, "I'm a legally appointed watcher and I've got as much right here as any one. I decline to move for you or any one else." <br /><br /><a href="https://twitter.com/DailySuffragist/status/1239046579954356225" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">If you know Lavinia Dock, this is not surprising. </a><br /><br />As it happens, pollwatchers who can’t vote have a limited impact on the outcome of elections. Curry, the Tammany incumbent, won the primary handily. He became the leader of Tammany Hall in its twilight years, and a foe of Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt. <br /><br />A flurry of litigation followed the primary. The magistrate, the District Attorney, and the Attorney General all upheld women’s right to be poll watchers. Blatch then began recruiting women to pollwatch for the general election. <br /><br />In this letter asking a Miss Allen to serve, Blatch says “Women now have this political right, and it seems to me we should shoulder the duty of our right….Can we not count upon you to fill this important and interesting political office, and would it not be possible for you to secure other women to act also?” The handwritten postscript says: “Word has just come to us that the Republican Watchers Association will welcome as many women as we can secure. This is a great triumph!" <br /><br />#vote #suffrage100

Description
An account of the resource
It’s easier to research rich suffragists than poor ones. Wealthy women’s contributions to the movement were well-documented, their correspondence is more likely to be preserved, and they were profiled and gossiped about in the papers. One rich woman’s contribution... 🧵 <br /><br />Katherine Duer Mackay’s life seems ripped from the pages of an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel: outrageous wealth, a scandalous divorce, and more. Given her extreme privilege and narrow, conformist social circle, her approach to suffrage and public welfare is notable. <br /><br />Mrs. Mackay, as she was known, joined the cause in 1908. She consulted leading suffragists like Harriot Stanton Blatch to devise a plan. Mackay wasn’t interested in joining NAWSA’s dull NY chapter, nor Blatch’s deliberately cross-class Equality League of Self-Supporting Women. She wanted her own project. In creating the Equal Franchise Society, Mrs. Mackay recruited a board of serious and capable suffragists (including Blatch), and began funding lobbying in Albany as early as 1910. <br /><br />Few resources for New York legislative work existed then. Her funding laid the groundwork for the 1915 New York referendum, and eventually the 1917 win. Along with better-known Alva Belmont, her involvement made suffrage seem safe for prominent society women who had hesitated to be associated with a cause that threatened patriarchy. <br /><br />Mrs. Mackay’s upper-crust viewpoint sometimes left her at odds with her own organization -- for example, when she insisted that the Albany headquarters be a suite at the posh Ten Eyck Hotel, not a storefront on State Street. Mackay was deeply dismayed when the Franchise Society board voted to join the first big NYC suffrage march, in May 1910. She feared that street demonstrations threatened the movement’s respectability. <br /><br />See 👉 <a href="https://dailysuffragist.omeka.net/items/show/404" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">How we learned to protest</a> <br /><br />But to her credit, she accepted the decision -- and cared to see the Society would show up handsomely, though she herself refused to attend! <br /><br />Wealthy doesn’t really begin to describe Katherine’s lifestyle. Shortly after she married gold/telegraph/financier Clarence Mackay, they hired Stanford White to design their Long Island estate. Katherine worked closely with White on the design and construction of Harbor Hill, a castle on 648 acres. <br /><br />Katherine’s efforts on behalf of the local community were genuine. She donated funds to renovate the public library, and then in 1905 ran for school board. She served 5 years, the first woman ever elected. <br /><br />And she sent her children to public school! As she told the newspaper: “If we wish to establish confidence in the public school system, it is necessary for the rich as well as the poor to patronize them. If we draw such caste distinctions as in the past, it is inconsistent to preach the benefits to be derived from government aid in education.†<br /><br />Katherine had stepped back from active involvement with suffrage by the time her cousin Alice Duer Miller began publishing her witty suffrage column “Are Women People?†in the New York Tribune. <br /><br />See 👉 <a href="https://dailysuffragist.omeka.net/items/show/458" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Why We Oppose Pockets for Women</a><br /><br />That year Katherine’s life got much more complicated. She fell in love with a doctor who had treated her husband, and sought a divorce. She lost custody of her children, and was stripped of her American citizenship when she and the doctor moved to Paris. After the war they returned to New York & later divorced. Katherine’s private life was extensively covered in the papers, always in a tone viciously judgmental of her. She died of cancer in 1930 at age 51. <br /><br />A footnote for all the new theater folks following tonight - Katherine’s daughter Ellin Mackay married Irving Berlin! Then her father disowned her because he was Jewish.😣 Father & daughter later reconciled, and Irving & Ellin were married 62 years. #Suffrage100 #19thAmendmentÂ

Presidential conventions. Eh. 2020 conventions planned for Charlotte, Jacksonville & Milwaukee may end up being nowhere at all. But in 1916, the Democrats met in St. Louis. The Republicans met in Chicago - along with a new party: the National Woman’s Party. NWP founding🧵 <br /><br />The National Woman’s Party didn’t expect to capture the votes of ALL 4 million women voters. The idea was to convince enough women voting in tight races to vote against Democrats, punishing them for not doing more to help disenfranchised women nationwide. <br /><br />Alice Paul had tested the theory in the 1914 midterms and found that it worked: it put suffrage on the political agenda. Democrats, who controlled the House, Senate & White House, were on notice that they would have to act. Suffragist Dr. Cora King summed up the political effect: “[It] will never be unanimously agreed upon...some declaring you did no harm to the Democrats but great harm to the women’s cause & others that you are the saviour of women. But party leaders...will come out for suffrage MUCH sooner because of the trouble you have made them.†<br /><br />By the 1916 general election, Alice had a powerful new ally: Harriot Stanton Blatch. After the failure of the NY law, Blatch was done w/the state-by-state approach forever. She merged her Women’s Political Union and its well-connected members into the fight for a federal amdt. <br /><br />Harriot and 22 other women spent the spring barnstorming western states to recruit Woman’s Party members. Five weeks riding the rails was not glamorous. Winifred Mallon wrote home: “Am very tired and dirty and dusty and my head aches and the train is jiggling fearfully.†<br /><br />Their effort succeeded in winning some converts. 1,000+ women gathered in Chicago in June 1916 for the inaugural convention of the National Woman’s Party. <a href="https://dailysuffragist.omeka.net/items/show/451" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Recall that Chicago women could vote for President, thanks to their 1913 victory</a>. 👉<br /><br />As a show of white women’s political power, the NWP launch was a success. Every other party sent an ambassador: Democrats, Republicans, Prohibition, Progressive & Socialist parties. Harriot Stanton Blatch pledged to deliver 500,000 votes; Alva Belmont pledged to raise $500,000. <br /><br />Alice Paul didn’t speak at the NWP convention. Instead she put voters like Maud Younger of California and Anne Martin of Nevada in the spotlight. @<a href="https://twitter.com/jdzah" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">jdzah</a> points out that having women voters lead NWP could rebut criticism that Alice was meddling, unwelcome, in state affairs. The NWP dream was to block Wilson from a second term, or at least make him fear their power. It would take real fortitude - to succeed they would have to fight Republicans, Democrats, and other suffragists. #19thAmendment #WomensVote100Â

Description
An account of the resource
In writing about what it means to “look like a mom,†@<a href="https://twitter.com/VVFriedman" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">VVFriedman</a> reported that the yellow t-shirts Portland moms wear are intended to evoke sunshine, joy, warmth. The protesters even carry sunflowers to reinforce - which connects them directly to suffrage's color palette.🎨🧵 <br /><br />Sunflower yellow was the only good thing to come out of the 1867 referendum in Kansas. Local suffragists made cloth ribbons in the color of the state flower >> yellow caught on as “the distinguishing badge of the woman suffrage army.†It eventually became NAWSA’s official color. <br /><br />In the UK, the Pankhursts’ WSPU sought to distinguish themselves from other suffrage groups. Purple represented “the royal blood that flows in the veins of every suffragette, the instinct of freedom and dignity;†white for purity; green for hope & “the emblem of spring.†<br /><br />Harriot Stanton Blatch honored the Pankhursts by using their colors for her Women’s Political Union. In New York suffrage marches 1910-1917, women wore sashes in a variety of colors reflecting different groups, usually over a white dress -- for effect, and virginal femininity. <br /><br />Alice Paul & Lucy Burns formally adopted purple/yellow/white as their group’s colors shortly after the 1913 Washington march. They were still a NAWSA committee then, not yet the National Woman’s Party - and their colors merge NAWSA’s yellow with the Pankhursts’ white & purple. <br /><br />Or do they? They explain their choice in one of the first issues of the Suffragist newspaper. White for purity, purple for loyalty and steadfastness (not royalty), and “gold, the color of light and life, is as the torch that guides our purpose, pure and unswerving.†<br /><br />No reference to sunflower yellow or honoring their connection to NAWSA. But they do invoke the life-giving sunshine that inspired suffragists all the way back in Kansas in 1867 - and<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/28/style/wall-of-moms-image.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> inspires the white moms in Portland today</a>. #Suffrage100 #19thAmendment

Dissecting the failed 1915 New York suffrage referendum is like reliving the 2016 election. It’s still too soon. But take a deep breath and let’s dive in . .<br /><br />Winning New York would require a three-step process: suffragists needed to pass a bill through the state Senate and the Assembly in 1913, pass the same bill in 1915, and then win a popular referendum with the men of the state. <br /><br />We really thought we had it. Harriot Stanton Blatch & Carrie Chapman Catt, two towering figures in suffrage politics, devoted themselves to winning. They undertook more than three years of meticulous planning, fundraising, lobbying in Albany, and organizing throughout the state. <br /><br />Carrie Chapman Catt had been focused on int’l suffrage for years, and now shifted her energy to NY. Catt & Harriot Stanton Blatch were oil & water. Catt liked total control; Blatch found Catt’s cautious conservatism enraging. They reached a chilly detente for the 1915 campaign. <br /><br />Fundraising began in 1912 with a ball for 2,000, at the accessible price of 50c per ticket. The next year they sold out the Armory, mixing hoi polloi with “shabby little cash girls, waltzing in shirt waists†-- NY Tribune. The campaign raised more than $4 million in today’s $$. <br /><br />Harriot Stanton Blatch spent 1913 and the winter of 1915 in Albany, shepherding the bill through with an army of lobbyists. When Sen. Elon Brown said that fewer than a dozen women in his district supported suffrage, activist Helen Todd arrived at his office trailed by hundreds. <br /><br />The bill passed both chambers in 1913; and again in 1915. In 1915 it passed the Assembly 113-0. It was time to go to the voters. <br /><br />Catt divided the state into 12 districts, and ran “suffrage schools†for organizers, who were assigned all the way down to the neighborhood level. Actions were organized with military precision. In addition to public meetings and leafleting, suffragists used new creative tactics. <br /><br />Huge crowds gathered on a sidewalk near St. Patrick’s Cathedral to watch a “voiceless speech†-- a woman standing in a store window, slowly turning placards on an easel. Blatch’s group parked a Votes for Women lunch wagon on Wall Street and gave soapbox speeches from May to Nov. <br /><br />They provided free child care at public events - which had the double benefit of capturing parents’ attention and demonstrating the kind of world women would make with their power.👇Suffolk County Fair, Long Island, 1914. <br /><br />They canvassed relentlessly. Catt estimated that they reached 60% of NYC voters directly. A caravan traveled the width of the state, from Montauk Point to Lake Erie, bearing a suffrage torch. Victory seemed within reach. <br /><br />But in November 1915, they lost the popular vote. Badly. Only 43% of the men in New York supported suffrage. All five boroughs of New York City voted against. Why? Well, sharing the ballot with an unpopular measure about a Constitutional Convention didn’t help. <br /><br />But the only concrete reason for such a resounding defeat was that most of the men in New York didn’t want women to vote. Carrie Chapman Catt began preparing immediately for a new referendum. Not Harriot. <br /><br />Harriot Stanton Blatch was done asking every man in each state if she could vote. From now on, she would devote herself to the Federal Amendment. #CenturyofStruggle #19thAmendmentÂ

Description
An account of the resource
Seneca Falls wasn’t really a thing until 25 years after it happened. <br /><br />The suffrage movement had split, and Susan B Anthony & ElizCadyStanton sought to establish authority for their faction by crafting an origin story at Seneca Falls. (New followers: scroll back for more!) 🧵 <br /><br />The two factions eventually merged after years of ideological and tactical conflict - but the merged organization, NAWSA, was ambivalent about venerating Seneca Falls. <br /><br />Harriot Stanton Blatch wasn’t. <br /><br />Blatch was the daughter of ElizCadyStanton, and a pivotal suffragist in her own right. At the beginning of the century she returned from decades of living in England. <br /><br />Compared to the radicalism taking hold among UK suffragists, the US movement was dull. <br /><br />Not just dull. NAWSA in the early 1900s was a conservative, very Christian, and almost entirely white organization. <br /><br />Blatch acidly remarked that “It bored its adherents and repelled its opponents.†<br /><br />Blatch created a new group, the Equality League of Self-Supporting Women. It was a sister org to the Women’s Trade Union League, and it sought to put working women - both professionals and factory workers - front and center in the suffrage movement. <br /><br />Blatch wanted a ceremony in Seneca Falls to honor the 60th anniversary. The mainstream NY & national groups weren't interested, so the Equality League organized its own events. These included a program for local students & a gathering of the survivors of the original convention.<br /><br />They installed a bronze plaque near the site of the Wesleyan Church where the original meeting took place. The plaque cites ElizCadyStanton & Frederick Douglass’ commitment to voting rights. That was fitting for 1908, tho it ignored the convention’s many other equality demands.<br /><br />The roster of speakers at the 60th celebration included Mary Church Terrell, founding president of the National Association of Colored Women, who gave a keynote. Blatch surely knew that it had been years since Terrell was invited to speak to NAWSA. <br /><br />Other speakers included Rev. Annis Ford Eastman, mother of Max & Crystal, who would later play a major role in the movement; and Maud Nathan, a prominent Jewish suffragist whose sister was an equally famous anti-suffragist. <br /><br />Luminaries from nearby Cornell University also spoke: Prof. Nathaniel Schmidt and graduating senior Elizabeth Ellsworth Cook. Elizabeth was a star debater, already an officer of the Equality League, and later a successful businesswoman. #Suffrage100 #CenturyofStruggle

When US suffragists began street demonstrations in 1910, the women in the UK had already become more brazen. They were holding huge demonstrations, intentionally provoking arrest, and more. <br /><br />One of their leaders came to the US in 1907 to encourage us to be bolder. Thread. <br /><br />Anne Cobden-Sanderson was first arrested in 1906 along with nine other members of the Women’s Social and Political Union, demonstrating at the House of Commons. <br /><br />They were charged with using “threatening and abusive words and behaviour" and put on trial. <br /><br />They chose two months in Holloway Prison rather than a £10 fine and six months good behavior. <br /><br />The public was shocked that upper-class women would go to prison, but Anne said: “We have talked so much for the Cause now let us suffer for it.” <br /><br />In 1909 Cobden-Sanderson was arrested for picketing 10 Downing Street with a petition to the Prime Minister. There’s a photo! <br /><br />Harriot Stanton Blatch & Sarah Smith Garnet invited Cobden-Sanderson to the US in 1907. <br /><br />Her visit was a coup for both Blatch’s Equality League and Garnet’s Brooklyn Equal Suffrage League. In the packed hall of the Cooper Union, Cobden-Sanderson emphasized how much the British movement owed to its working-class instigators. <br /><br />@<a href="https://twitter.com/EllenDubois10" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">EllenDubois10</a> recounts: “After women factory workers were arrested for trying to see the prime minister, Cobden-Sanderson and other privileged women, who felt they ‘had not so much to lose as [the workers] had,’ decided to join them and get arrested.”'<br /><br />She toured the US; her lecture at Bryn Mawr college was called “Why I Went to Prison.” <br /><br />New York suffragists didn’t instantly become more radical, but Cobden-Sanderson and her stories of WSPU’s long prison terms had an impact. #Suffrage100 #CenturyofStruggle

British suffragists got angry and impatient before the Americans did. Their breakaway radical faction became known as “suffragettes†- it was meant as a slur, until they adopted it proudly. <br /><br />[Protest history thread.] <br /><br />Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters developed confrontational tactics that horrified the UK’s suffrage establishment - and inspired American women. <br /><br />Harriot Stanton Blatch lived in England and saw the Pankhursts’ impact up close. Brooklyn’s leading African-American suffragist, Sarah Smith Garnet, visited London and was impressed with what she saw. Lucy Burns and Alice Paul were American university students who joined the movement in the UK and brought home the tactics they learned there. <br /><br />As these women returned to the US, they pushed American women to be more visible in their demand for the vote. That meant hitting the street. <br /><br />Harriot Stanton Blatch created the Women’s Political Union (orig. the Equality League of Self-Supporting Women) in 1907 as a feistier alternative to NAWSA. <br /><br />They organized the very first street protest by New York City women, in May 1910. 👇 <br /><br />It wasn’t the first protest in American history - there had been large labor rallies, like Haymarket in Chicago & the Uprising of 20,000 in NYC a year before. Barnstorming suffragists held open-air meetings during state campaigns as far back as 1869.<br /><br />But this was the first time suffragists made their point by taking over city streets. <br /><br />It wasn’t ladylike to march on the street - precisely BECAUSE it was associated with working class rabble-rousers. The matronly Woman Suffrage League of New York wasn’t eager to participate--but the march was getting so much attention they couldn’t ignore it. So they joined the “automobile procession†- which meant they barely set foot on the street. <br /><br />The parade was a hit, and in 1911 the march was 8x bigger: 3,000 marched and 10,000 joined the rally at the end. <br /><br />By the spring of 1912 even babies were out on the street. <br /><br />And teenagers on horseback, like Mabel Ping-Hua Lee. <br /><br />Eleanor Flexner points out that as the marches grew, they won the respect of New Yorkers. A reporter from the Baltimore American wrote in 1912: “All along Fifth Avenue...were gathered thousands of men and women of New York. They blocked every cross street on the line of march. <br /><br />"Many were inclined to laugh and jeer, but none did. <br /><br />“The sight of the impressive column of women striding five abreast up the middle of the street stifled all thought of ridicule. They were typical, womanly American women...women doctors, women lawyers, splendid in their array of academic robes; women architects, women artists, actresses and sculptors; women waitresses, domestics; a huge division of industrial workers...all marched with an intensity and purpose that astonished the crowds that lined the streets.†#CenturyofStruggleÂ

The current administration’s anti-immigrant crusade includes punishing mixed status families whenever possible - like excluding citizens from emergency aid if they’re married to non-citizens. As @<a href="https://twitter.com/ProfGidlow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ProfGidlow</a> recently pointed out here, this isn’t new. [Nationality thread] <br /><br />From 1907-1922, US citizen women who married foreign nationals forfeited their citizenship. Read👇illustrated piece from @<a href="https://twitter.com/USNatArchives" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">USNatArchives</a> for more on the <a href="https://www.archives.gov/files/publications/prologue/2014/spring/citizenship.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Expatriation Act</a>. But stripping women of their citizenship when they married foreigners predates 1907. <br /><br />The Expatriation Act that year codified a practice that had been in place for decades. Nancy Cott and @<a href="https://twitter.com/VSapiro" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">VSapiro</a> explain that expatriation was NOT a feature of the early generations of the Republic. It gradually took hold in the 2nd half of the 19th century.<br /><br />The expatriation of wives began after Congress passed a law in 1855 to allow white immigrant women to naturalize when they married American men. Not Asians and African-Americans. It wasn’t clear what this meant for the citizenship of American women who married foreigners, but it gradually became interpreted to strip them of their citizenship, especially if they lived a long time abroad. <br /><br />Meanwhile, after 1870 the UK (along with most of Europe) considered women to be the nationality of their husband. So while American law was unsettled about whether you lost your citizenship, British law was happy to swallow you up. So when a woman like Harriot Stanton Blatch married a Brit and settled in the UK in the 1880s, both countries agreed she was no longer American. <br /><br />Harriot disagreed, of course, and c. 1894 refused to run for a seat on the London School Board, as it would have been an acknowledgment of a citizenship she did not choose. When she and her husband and their surviving daughter Nora (another, Helen, died of whooping cough at 4) returned to the US in 1902, Harriot was no longer a citizen. <br /><br />Eleanor Flexner says that Harriot regained her American citizenship by taking the oath of allegiance in 1915, after her husband died. Then, “In order to be able to vote herself she established residence in Kansas, choosing the state where her mother had campaigned for suffrage almost fifty years earlier.†The 1867 campaign was unsuccessful; women in Kansas won the vote in 1912. #CenturyofStruggle #Suffrage100Â
