the long weekend??• Quick notes on suffrage• Reminder: test Friday– Last notes = tomorrow– Study guide + time for KTs = Thursday– KTs due Friday

• Daily Reader• Picket Slogans!

Women did fit into a specific, stereotypical gender role back in the

late 1800s/ early 1900s…

Do women fall under “gender roles” today?

Examples?...don’t worry boys, you won’t get in trouble

Women Win Reforms

• At this point, women can’t vote or hold political office & few break “the mold” of

gender roles in society

Women picket outside of the White Houses

> solitary confinement in prison > hunger strike = feeding tubes

Seneca Falls (NY) Convention 1848 sets the scene for women’s suffrage & reform

Key Players

• Elizabeth Cady Stanton

• Susan B. Anthony– Both renew calls for suffrage– “ oppose 15th amendment as it gives the vote to African

American men but not women• National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) – 1869 Stanton

& Anthony set up a group that worked for a constitutional amendment to give women the right to vote

Women in the West get the first votes– “West is the best”– Pioneer women had worked

alongside men to build farms & cities– The right to vote meant that the

state recognizes these contributions

WHY?

Support grows

– By early 1900s 5 million+ earn wages in jobs • smaller than men, but still…wages!

– Suffragists: people who worked for women’s right to vote

Picketing– Soon after he became president, Woodrow Wilson met

with women to discuss women’s rights.– He did not oppose them, however he was not prepared to

back a constitutional amendment.• Why do you think?????

• 1918 – Wilson agreed to support suffrage• 1919 – congress passed 19th Amendment:

Guarantees women the right to vote • Women’s Clubs– Reading & tea-time reformers, fundraisers, educators,

combatants for women/ children rights, advocates supporting a better food/ drug industry, social

work

Myeaa Sheeee….

If I appeal to these women, I’ll be a great

guy…AND… I’ll win the entire women’s

vote!!!

LAME

COOL!

Alcohol• The temperance movement to

end the sale of alcoholic beverages began in the early 1800s

• Women lead this movement = wives & mothers recognize alcohol as a threat to the family (violence & hardship)

Alcohol

• Women opposed saloons: where alcohol is served & political bosses made political decisions out of the reach of women– Most refused entry to women– Women’s Christian Temperance Union – WCTU: 1874

worked to ban the sale of liquor in the U.S.

18th Amendment• Temperance movement gets

support when we go to WW1 in 1917

• Argument: the grain to make liquor should be used to feed the American soldiers

• 18th Amendment: 1917 – it is illegal to sell alcoholic drinks anywhere in the U.S.
