The Women's Suffrage Movement

For the first time in 1848, at the women's rights conference held in Seneca Falls, New York, the right to vote for women was seriously raised. Here, Elizabeth Kadiston and Lukria Mott declared that voting is a fundamental right of women and means of acquiring other rights. Three years later, Stanton met Susan B. Anthony. In 72 years they soon became the driving force of women's suffrage.

In 1869, the National Women 's Participation Association led by Anthony was established to encourage constitutional amendment. Anthony and his successor proposed this amendment for the 40 th General Assembly. I did not pass. When Anthony was arrested in the 1872 presidential election and tried to vote, the public's attention and support was brought to the movement.

After Anthony died in 1906, the sentence "Failure is impossible" became the motto of a young feminist in her last election speech. In 1920, 14 years later, the 19 th revision bill was approved. The women finally won the voting rights

Summary of female elections: Women's election campaign (also called women's election campaign) is a struggle for the exercise of women's voting rights and is part of the women's rights movement as a whole. In the mid-nineteenth century, women from several countries, especially the organizations of the United States and Britain, organized for voting rights. In 1888, the first international women's rights organization, the International Women Council (ICW) was founded. As the ICW is reluctant to focus on voting rights, the International Female Corruption Foundation (IWSA) in 1904 is a British female rights activist Millicent Fawcett, an American activist Carrie Chapman Catt and other leading female rights activists It is made up of.

Not all women in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century have the right to do campaigning. In the late nineteenth century, a political movement called Anti-Slavism emerged against the women's voting rights. Members of this movement, mainly women, are against the women's voting rights in the United States. The opposition to the election campaign is closely related to "domestic feminism", I believe that women have the inherent right to be completely free in their homes. Through the 19th century, the lives of women became more restricted. Reform intentionally precludes women's voting and possession of property. In the past few centuries, my wife has been involved with family farms and companies, but with the development of the 19th century my family's manufacturing industry became a profession. The first obligation of a woman is to be a good wife and mother.

The feminist insists that women's suffrage movement is the beginning of modern feminism. The election campaign began in the United States in the 19th century. Among the famous early feminists were Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Keystanton, and Lucy Stone. Initially the women's voting rights were aimed at giving women the equal political right to men - the right to vote for elections and referendums and the right to hold political positions. We must remember that these political rights were only given to the majority of the male population due to the democratic revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries. The women's campaign declared victory immediately after the First World War and ratified the 19th Constitutional amendment on August 18, 1920, guaranteeing the right for women to vote in the state elections and federal elections.
