What was the women’s suffrage movement you may ask. It was a long fight to win the right to vote for women in the U.S. It took activists and reformers nearly 100 yrs to win that right and campaign was not easy. Many disagreements threatened to cripple the movement more than once.

@1margaretsanger @1FlorenceKelley no yea I totally agree. We need to stand for our rights no matter what it takes. We are equally as good as men If not better.

@JaneAddams247 YESSSS! These are the types of people we need. We are strong and no one should be able to tell us any different. We will fight for our right to vote and we will achieve it. #ihateallmen

During the process of frustration and fighting for the nineteenth amendment I had a “winning plan” that would help me reach my final goal. This included working with individual states, passing legislation locally to get the vote for women individual states.

@SusanBA18200 I am so happy to hear from another NAWSA leader. This movement was very important to me and it truly changed womens lives for the better. This movement not only changed peoples perspective of women it also brought us all closer to on another. #womenrights
