Do you vote in political elections?
Suffrage is the right to vote in public elections. Universal suffrage means everyone gets to vote, as opposed to only men or property holders.
In July 1848 they issued a call for a convention to discuss the issue of women’s rights; this convention met in Stanton’s hometown, Seneca Falls, New York.
On March 3, 1913, 5,000 women marched up Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, DC, demanding the right to vote.
The day before Woodrow Wilson’s presidential inauguration, 5,000 women marched along Pennsylvania Avenue, the same route that the inaugural parade would take the next day. This was the largest Suffrage women’s protest, before the law was changed.
In a procession organized by the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA).
Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton form the National Woman Suffrage Association. The primary goal of the organization is to achieve voting rights for women utilizing a Congressional amendment to the Constitution.
Women protesters wore white to counteract the accusations of moral corruptness that naysayers were attaching to women in wanting to vote.
Wearing white women stood out as they protested to vote.
Wearing white represented purity, basically counteracting the accusations of moral corruption associated with women’s equal participation in voting.
As a woman, it’s a blessing that women before us created a platform then passed a national law to allow women to vote.
The women’s suffrage movement was a decades-long fight to win the right to vote for women in the United States. It took activists and reformers nearly 100 years to win that right, and the campaign was not easy.
The 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution granted American women the right to vote, a right known as women’s suffrage, and was ratified on August 18, 1920, ending almost a century of protest.
Voting rights for women was a gateway to the beginning of equal rights for the women’s movement.
Voting is a well fought privilege. Yes voting is an important step forward for women everywhere.
To not vote would be an insult to the women who fought hard to establish women’s voting rights.
I vote because women before me made it possible. I’m grateful for their efforts. ~MissTrulyAbigail ©

I really don’t know much about the constitution, but it sounds intriguing! White represents purity, then I am certainly as black as night.

🤣 I think it was about a woman’s purity, reflecting a white wedding gown, it’s symbolic of non-corruptible behavior.
Plus in that time Era women generally in the lower class ( blue collar) wore dark browns, gray or black attire. Only upper class were privileged to wear lighter clothing, there were very few people in that economic class.
Women protesters wore white , 5000 women drew alot of attention 😊
