The road to suffrage was hard for every women working hard to get it. Suffrage is the right to vote, and women were not getting this right. Women wanted to vote and the 19th Amendment made that happen.
Suffrage is the right to vote. The women's suffrage movement started in the1700's unknowingly, by women wanting to have a say in their household. "A married women's legal existence was incorporated into that of her husbands" but women didn't want it to be like that. Women wanted to be up with the men and make decisions based on everyone not just men.
Women finally wanted to have a say in their world not just the mens world. They didn't want others to choose representative for them, because mostly they didn't want those representatives. NAWSA worked for the fight of women's suffrage. Susan B. Anothony challenged the system and voted for Ulysses S. Grant, but later got arrested. She used the 14th amendment to explain why she did and could vote for her representative. In 1878 the 19th amendment was passes finally giving women the right to vote. In 1919 the words were changed to suit more people. Progressive campaign too college educated women and put them into a life time of social work and challeged the system. In 1895 the book " The Woman's Bible" was puplished showing the christian side of suffrage, but NASWA condemned the book because of it. Because of the 19th
Amendment more organization formed such as NCJW, NACW, NAOWS, and WSPU formed becuase of what happened to womans suffrage.
