Women's Suffrage Tactics

In May Lytton released an article in ‘Votes for Women’, titled ‘Putting Back the Clock.’ (Votes for Women, 7 May 190, Vol. 2 pg.625) Emmeline Pankhurst and other leaders in the movement emphasised the importance of having Lytton’s name prominent in order to gain approval and more attention towards the movement. Because of this Lytton opened Suffragette events in Knightsbridge, London, using her social status to attract large crowds. In order to promote the movement postcards featuring Lytton wearing her Suffragette medals were sold. During this time, Lytton was quickly gaining position as a suffragette and had great influence over the women.

Women used many different ways to earn the right to vote in the Women's Suffrage Movement. The first method was parading in the streets. There was a parade with floats and lots of women marching holding signs demanding the right to vote. This method was used to get publicity for their cause. It was reported about in the newspaper.

"…with links to the Democratic Party and the labor movement, A Women 's Henry George Society, and a female wing of William Randolph Hearst 's Independence League." (Dubois 189) This quote presents several of representatives that women had done to the whole society. Women Suffrage Movement did not end at 1912, but this year was the most significant breakthrough through the whole event. For the first time of the national party in United States, Republican Party adopted a women’s suffrage plank. “The favorable Minority Report meant that some of the leaders of the Republican Party supported women 's rights claims on the Constitution.” (Dubois, 124) Dubois suggested that Republican Party somewhat support women’s rights, even though they did not began their action

In addition to the Civil War, the Industrial Revolution was also part of the success for the Woman’s Suffrage Movement because women could operate machinery as easily as men, which meant more jobs were available to them. The success of women obtaining

As political history specialist Richard J. Walton contends, “at a time when women were usually relegated in political campaigns to stamping envelopes and other such 'women 's work,’ the Progressive Party gave women substantive jobs and campaigned for broader women’s rights.” For instance, Wallace “included policies on women in the workforce in his campaign platform [...] and (their) ability to work both inside and outside of the home.” As well as advocating for women’s rights, Henry Wallace fought to break racial and ethnic barriers, at a time when racism was institutionalized in some parts of the country. In a speech delivered in New York City, on September 12th, 1946, Henry Wallace said, The price of peace - for us and for every nation in the world - is the price of giving up prejudice, hatred, fear and ignorance.... Hatred breeds hatred. The doctrine of racial superiority produces a desire to get even on the part of its victims. If we are to work for peace in the rest of the world, we here in the United States must eliminate racism from our unions, our business organizations, our educational institutions, and our employment practices. He believed that the feelings of pride and prejudice are what cripples humans.

The women of the Suffragist movement used many tactics in their pursuit of the right to vote. Calm and proud, women would participate in parades to let the population know of their existence and their cause. The women in these parades would dress in college uniforms and other such attire. Another way they attempted to receive their rights was by lobbying, meaning they went around the White House talking to senators. The final tactic I will mention is their use of sentries at the White House.

The 19th Amendment granted the ballot to American women. People start pay more attention to women, they have right to speak in public. This allowed women to be more independent; women can work and do the same vague as men

Thank you, Millicent Fawcett, for giving me the opportunity to speak on behalf of the National Union of Women 's Suffrage Societies which Millicent leads with grace and dignity. Some of you may know me and some of you may not, but I am Clementine Forest one of 3000 women suffragists who has marched here today, the largest march ever occurred, for the cause of women 's suffrage. I am here to represent and express the importance of women receiving the right to vote. Unfortunately, the London weather wasn 't on our side with the presence of heavy rain throughout our march from Hyde Park to Exter Hall, but this reinforces that nothing will stop women from protesting their right to vote. As you know we have been gathered together as one, today on February 9th, 1907, the day in which Parliament is open once again for the coming year.

Some of the adjustments made during this time included women holding a higher social status, attending Ivy League colleges, defending a client in court, and holding high-ranked political offices. The bringing about of these new changes not only helped the feminist group progress but helped encourage other innovated groups to progress as well. Today their example has helped shape feminist groups that are still pushing for more of an equal status to men. Although not easy, women were able to overcome many unique challenges during this era and therefore made it possible for women to gain equal rights reshaping our country to what it is

history that women, and other oppressed groups of people, would take action in the form of marches and protests. On March 3, 1913, while the fight for women’s suffrage was still ongoing, thousands gathered to march on Washington, D.C. in the hopes of getting the constitution amended and earning women’s right to vote. The march was, for all intents and purposes, a huge parade lead by Alice Paul and the National American Woman Suffrage Association. Suffragettes were escorted up Pennsylvania Avenue by Inez Milholland in the hopes of grabbing the attention of all the spectators who were in town for the inauguration of President-elect Woodrow Wilson, scheduled just a day after the parade took place. It worked to revive the excitement for the women’s suffrage movement, making room for more women to help lay the foundation for a road to equality (“This Day in
