The unique project takes
inspiration from the Surrealist
art practice known as “ex-
quisite corpse.” In the most
well-known exquisite corpse
drawing game, participants
took turns creating sections
of a body on a piece of paper
folded to hide each successive
contribution. When unfolded,
the whole body is revealed.

March is Women’s History Month
Meeting for Women’s Rights
In 1848, a group of people met in
Seneca Falls, N.Y. to talk about the
problems women faced because they
didn’t have the same rights as men.
At that time, women could not own
property, they
could not vote and
very few could go
to school.
This meeting was
the first women’s
rights convention
in the United
States. At that
meeting, men and women signed a
document called the “Declaration
of Sentiments and Resolutions.”
By signing, these people agreed
to the goals of what was becoming
the woman’s movement.
For more than 70 years, women and
men marched, wrote letters and
articles, protested and picketed to get
an Amendment to the Constitution
which would give women the right to
vote. These people were known as
suffragists.

Can you imagine a world in
which women do not have
the right to vote?
How long do you think women in this
country have had the right to vote?
300 years? 200 years? 150 years?
In the United States, women have had
that right for only 100 years of the 244
years we have been a country. And
getting the right to vote took decades
of protesting and writing to lawmakers
– who were all men at the time.
n 1920, exactly 100
years after Susan
was born, the 19th
Amendment to the
U.S. Constitution was
passed, giving women
the right to vote.

Victory!
On May 21, 1919, the U.S. House of
Representatives finally approved the
19th Amendment, also known as
the Susan B. Anthony Amendment,
guaranteeing women the right to vote.
That was just the first step. The U.S.
Senate and at least three quarters of the
states had to approve it before it would
become the law of the land.
The United States Senate approved the
amendment a week after the House.
On August 18, 1920, Tennessee
became the last state needed to ratify
the 19th Amendment.
One week later, on August 26, the
19th Amendment officially became
part of the U.S. Constitution, forever
protecting American women’s right
to vote.
Today, more than 68
million women vote in
elections because of the
courageous suffragists
who never gave up the
fight for equality.

Two weeks later, a U.S. marshal knocked on her door.
“I have a warrant for your arrest,”
he told Susan. “You are charged
with voting without the lawful right
to vote.”
In 1872, by U.S. law, a person had to
be 21 years or older to vote. Susan was
born in 1820. Was she old enough to vote?

Chinooks of the region.”
Johnson, who worked with
Hood River Valley High School
students, said, “My big pitch
was, ‘Wouldn’t it be great to
have someone who has never
been out there, ever, seeing it
for the first time?’ And here I
am.” She credited the contri-
butions of HRVHS Art Teacher
Carol Birdsell.
“In New Jersey, I’m a teach-
ing artist with more than five
years professional education
in printmaking, driving all
over the state to work with 100
schools, and it’s wonderful but
it means sacrificing your own
ideas,” Johnson said. “So this
was a rare opportunity to do
this kind of thing, to be able
to come here and help create
something new. I’m proud of
the work I was able to do, I’m
thrilled I got to do something
creative, but it definitely incor-
porates the work of the high
school students.”

Women in
Leadership
Today, women can
vote and hold elected
office. For several
weeks, look through
the newspaper for
pictures of women
who are leaders in
the government.
Make a scrapbook
with the photos.
Label each one with
the woman’s name,
her job title and if
she was elected to
the job.
Standards Link: Research:
Use the newspaper to
locate information.
Draw a line down the center of a piece of
paper. Label the left side CAUSE. Label the right
side EFFECT. Read a newspaper article and find
the cause (an event that makes something happen)
and the effect (what the cause made happen).
Standards Link: Reading Comprehension: Know the difference
between cause and effect.
