Elizabeth Cady Stanton EARLY WOMEN'S RIGHTS AND SENECA FALLS NOT FOR OURSELVES ALONE: THE STORY OF ELIZABETH CADY STANTON AND SUSAN B. ANTHONY, PBS Women's Rights National Historical Park SUFFRAGE AND ANTI-SUFFRAGIST There were a variety of groups working for changes in the status of women during the early years of the United States. Together with groups focused on voting rights, they came up with a critique of women's place in society, focusing on the link between women's social and political standing. They campaigned for married women's property and wage rights, custody rights for mothers, and for the right to divorce. As the women's suffrage movement gained press and momentum, so did the anti-suffragists. The "antis," as they were known, often relied on satire to make their point. A prime example is the cartoon to the left where the "natural" order of things appears turned upside down as women go out to vote. The antis also maintained that a mere minority of women wanted the vote and that women would lose their special place "above" politics by entering the fray.

Anthony In 1849, after she taught for more than ten years, Anthony found her spirit drained and her professional future bleak. She focused her energies on social improvements and joined the local temperance society, only to be faced with inequality again. After she was denied the chance to speak at a Sons of Temperance meeting because she was a woman, she made the Daughters of Temperance, the first women’s temperance organization. She then began writing temperance articles for the Lily, the first newspaper owned by a woman in the United States. Through the paper’s editor, Amelia Bloomer, she met women involved in the abolitionist movement and in the recently formed woman suffrage movement. At a temperance meeting in 1851, Anthony met women’s rights leader Elizabeth Cady Stanton. They formed a deep and personal friendship and a political bond that would last for the rest of their lives. From then on, Anthony worked tirelessly for the woman suffrage movement. She taught about women’s rights and created a series of state and national conventions on the issue. She collected signatures for a petition to grant women the right to vote and to won property. Her hard work helped. In 1860 the New York state legislature passed the Married Women’s Property Act. It made it so women could enter into contracts and to control their own earnings and property.

^ Photo courtesy of the Denver Public Library, Western History Dept. Women's Suffrage in Colorado historical chronology recommended reading Women gained the right to vote through a Constitutional amendment passed by the people of Colorado during a general election on November 7, 1893. As reported in the Aspen Daily Times on November 9, 1893, "Colorado passes Women's suffrage by several thousand votes." In Pitkin County, the official vote count was 913 For and 588 Against. Colorado became the first state in the Union to approve women's suffrage in a popular election. The right to vote came after two failed attempts over a period of twenty-five years of effort on the part of many Coloradoans. Equal suffrage did not just happen. A massive campaign was organized by a combination of determined women and men of all colors, creeds and classes. "Let the Women Vote" was the rallying cry from Denver to Durango. Women's organizations, labor unions, the W.C.T.U., political parties, religious groups, garden clubs, business leaders, and many other reform-minded people set aside their differences to win the vote for women. This radical action was promoted by Governor Davis H. Waite

Women's Suffrage in Canada Women's rights were very important at the beginning of the twentieth century. Men didn't think women should have the same right's as they did. Some women didn't really care if they had the same right's as men, but others were very determined to prove that they were just as important as the men. This essay will explain why women wanted the right to vote and some of the things they went through to get it. Women began to fight for their right to vote at the beginning of the twentieth century. They wanted the same rights and opportunities that men had. The right to vote was just the start. In Britain the women took a violent approach to win their right to vote. One women was killed when she jumped in front of a race horse at the Derby. Another women told the King, "For God's sake, stop torturing women." The king then said "I really don't know what the world is coming to!" The world was coming to women having the same rights as men. In 1916 Manitoba became the first province to allow women to vote although the suffrage movement began in Ontario. Women in Canada used peaceful approaches to win the right to vote. They used arguments, demonstrations, and petitions. Britain used a different approach. They fought with with police, broke windows in the prime ministers house, and chained themselves to the gates of Buckingham Palace. One women even jumped in front of a race horse. Nelly McLung was born in 1873 in Grey County, Ontario. She was married on August.25, 1896 to Weslie McLung. They moved to Alberta and Nelly became very involved in politics and the movement of suffrage. In 1921 she became a liberal member of the Alberta Legislature. Nelly died at her home in Victoria, British Columbia in 1951. She lead the battle in getting women the right to vote in Manitoba and Alberta. Nelly once said "We may yet live to see the day when women will be no longer news! And it cannot come too soon. I want to be a peaceful, happy, normal human being, pursuing my unimpeded way through life never having to stop to explain defend, or apologize for my sex." Nelly gave women a challenge to fight with her for women's rights. Nelly was a liberal member of the Alberta legislature from 1921 to 1926. During this period of time she fought for mother's allowance , public health and nursing services, and free medical and dental services for school children.

For the political aspects of feminism, see woman suffrage History Women traditionally had been regarded as inferior to men physically and intellectually. Both law and theology had ordered their subjection. Women could not possess property in their own names, engage in business, or control the disposal of their children or even of their own persons.

American women gained their right to vote in 1920. But in California, women had already won the right to vote in 1911, nearly a decade earlier. The 1896 and 1911 suffrage campaigns demonstrated the mature political savvy women had acquired. Both campaigns drew help from suffragists all over America, but the assistance to the 1911 effort was formidable. Women remembered who defeated them in 1896. The night before the election, the famed Madame Nordica, in town for ground-breaking for the Panama-Pacific Exposition, unexpectedly appeared in Union Square. She entreated all to give women liberty the vote. Nordica closed by singing "The Star Spangled Banner" to the cheers of the assembled crowd. The next day, October 10, 1911, suffragist precinct workers geared for fraud and mayhem at the ballot boxes in San Francisco and Alameda counties. An impressive corps of ballot box watchers, 1,066 men and women, scrutinized every voting poll in San Francisco. Watchers tallied at least 3,000 fraudulent ballots. The day after the election, City newspapers declared the California women's franchise vote dead. As anticipated, S.F. county voted 35,471 No; 21,912 Yes. Alameda voted 7,818 No; 6,075 Yes. But suffrage workers smiled when the other votes started to roll in. Slowly they came, as they had been sought. The small towns and valleys delivered the victorious votes that returned a majority of 3,587. In 1911, California women joined the franchised women of Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho and Washington. In 1912, Oregon, Kansas and Arizona women won their vote. West coast women claimed their franchise. The potential power of that vote did not go unnoticed.

Women who began the struggle did not live to see it end, and most women who celebrated the ratification of the 19th Amendment did not see the fight begin. return to top Radical Roots The women who began the women's suffrage movement were already involved in social reform. Many women, including Sarah and Angelina Grimke, Abby Kelly, Lucretia Mott, and Lucy Stone, were part of the antislavery movement, but were not allowed to participate fully because they were women. Their outward cries for racial equality echoed their personal desire for gender equality, towards which they turned their energies at the Seneca Falls convention of 1848. The convention addressed a broad range of women's issues, including education, legal rights and economic status. The right to vote was not the main focus of the convention; in fact, many of the women who attended Seneca Falls believed the demand to be too radical. return to top Race before Gender It was not until after the Civil War that woman began to take their voting rights very seriously. The fifteenth amendment was ratified shortly after the Civil War and gave black men the right to vote.
