Woman suffrage started in 1848 and ended in 1920 it took decade long to long to end specifically 100 years. So the process was slow. Little things at a time made changes. For example, from \u201cOne Hundred Years toward Suffrage: An Overview\u201d shows different impacts during the moment like \u201c1836 Sarah Grimke begins her speaking career as an abolitionist and a women’s rights advocate. She is eventually silenced by male abolitionists who consider her public speaking a liability\u201d, \u201c1848 July 19-20 The first woman’s rights convention in the United States was held in Seneca Falls, New York. The idea for the convention arises spontaneously out of a discussion among Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and three other women over tea. Many participants sign a “Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions” that outlines the main issues and goals for the emerging women’s movement. Thereafter, women’s rights meetings are held on a regular basis\u201d, and \u201c1917 Women win the vote in New York State. A suffrage petition signed by more than a million women signals the determination of the women of the state (and the suffrage campaign workers who gathered the signatures) to gain the vote. Aiding the suffrage cause is a last-minute decision by Tammany Hall, the powerful Democratic “machine,” not to oppose suffrage, given the danger alienating potential women voters might pose in future elections. The suffrage measure wins by a margin of 100,000 votes in New York City and breaks even in the rest of the state\u201d. These are some impacts that had happened that might have been small at the time but led to great freedom for women.There were many amazing, strong women that contributed to this movement. For example like Ida B Wells who played an amazing role in the movement. Ida was a journalist and an activist. She fought for all women to be able to vote and she even confronted the wiphite woman in the movement who ignored lynching. I look up to women like Ida who stand for the good things but are not afraid to speak up about the things nobody else wants to say or talk about. The woman suffrage movement was for women\u2019s voices to be heard, not to be overlooked, and have their abilities be doubted. But it was a harder time for black women. They had to fight ten times harder to be Heard by white men and women. Black women tended to be excluded from organizations and activities, most white suffragists ignored the contributions of black suffragists. Even after the 19 amendment was passed so women have the right to vote but for most black women had to wait five decades to actually vote themselves. Through the years black women are the most overlooked group in America. As a black woman raised by a black woman, I was taught at a young age that I have to work ten times harder for what I want. It doesn’t matter how good I\u2019m at it compared to my competition. Which can be damaging and discouraging as you get older to go into a harder career because of knowing it\u2019s going to be harder for you no matter what so it makes you wanna do something safe. Even now black women are fighting for their rights and even stigmas that are placed on us. We look strong and can\u2019t be weak. We have to help everyone but when we are fed up and fight back we are looked at as \u201cthe angry black women.\u201d Lastly from the snapshot Nicole posted and mostly everyone else were mostly photographers of white women being in the frontlines and fighting which is another example black women not being seen even though they made a huge impact during the women\u2019s suffrage movement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
