Vote No on WomeoSuffrage
In the early 20th century, fierce battles were underway in many
countries between pro- and anti-women's suffrage organizations.
The pamphlet pictured here was created by an organization
founded in 1911 to actively oppose state and national suffrage ef
forts in the United States, the National Association Opposed to
Woman Suffrage, In it, they listed several reasons for opposing
women's suffrage including: "Because it is unwise to risk the good
we already have for the evil which may occur" and "Because in
some States more voting women than voting men will place the
Government under petticoat rule." The group disbanded in 1920
after the passage of the 19th Amendment which recognized '
womèn's right to vote (minorities still faced discrimination until
1965 when the Voting Rights Act was passed).
This year marks the 96th anniversary of (white) women's right
to vote in the U.S. The suffragists were activists who worked tire
lessly to secure that right for themselves, their daughters, and fu
ture generations of American women. Women are still grateful for
the work of their suffragist sisters; since the 1980s, women have
been turning out to vote in significantly higher numbers than men.

U.S. Suffrage Movemérit, check out "A Mighty Girl's" new blog

A Mighty Girl features special collections showcasing books
and other resources on two prominent early American suffragists: •
Susan B. Anthony (http://amgrl.co/1 PETB5i) and Elizabeth Cady .
Stanton (http://amgrl.co/1 qv3D28).
in 1889, the Wÿqming state convention approved a constitution
that included a provision granting women the right to vote. For
mally admitted into the union the following year, Wyoming thus
became the first state in the history of the nation to allow its fe
male citizens to vote.
That the isolated western state of Wyoming should be the first
to accept women’s suffrage was a surprise. Leading suffragists
like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton were East
erners, and they assumed that their own more progressive home
states would be among the first to respond to the campaign for
women’s suffrage. Yet the people and politicians of the growing
number of new Western states proved far more supportive than
those in the Éast.
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is a landmark piece of federaj
legislation in the United States that prohibits racial discrimination
in voting.lt was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Jbhnson
during the height of the Civil Rights Movement on August 6,1965,
and Congress later amended the Act five times to expand its pro
tections.. Designed to enforce the voting rights guaranteed by the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the United States Con
stitution, the Act secured voting rights for racial minorities through
out the country, especially in the South. According to the U.S.
Department of Justice, the Adt is considered to be the most ef
fective piece of civil rights legislation ever enacted in the country.
