They were denounced, insult ed, spat upon and arrested before their hour of triumph on Aug. 26, 1920, when the 19th Amendment to the Con stitution was proclaimed. It was short and got right to the point: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex." The intervention of women in political matters was noth ing new. But m the old days the ladies did it by indirect action. Helen of Troy did it by walking out on her hus band, King Mcnelaus of Spar ta, and joining forces with Paris in Troy, thereby ignit ing a war that launched a thousand ships and lasted ten years. Madame Pompadour be came the virtual ruler oi France for 19 years as the mistress of King Louis XV. In theory the American woman today is the absolute political equal of men. In practice she has not won equality. Of the 100 members of the U.S. Senate, only two are women Margaret Chase S m it h, Republican from Maine, and Maurine Neuberg cr, Democrat from Oregon. Of the 435 members of the House of Representatives, only 11 are women. Predicted Movie Star Congress Many were the dire predic tions when women got the vote. It was freely forecast that John Barrymore and his notable profile would become president of the United States and that Congress would be filled with handsome male movie stars. Actually nothing much happened although it seems certain the female vote has been decisive occasionally. For instance, professional politicians in both parties agree that Dwight D. Eisen hower was unbeatable at the polls because of his strong ap peal to women. Not because he was handsome but because the women were convinced he knew all about war and how to keep the country out of it. No woman raises her boy to be a soldier if she can help it. American women have an easy and logically sensible answer for their failure to achieve equality in town state and federal govern ments. They haven't got time to campaign. The first thing on the lifetime agenda of woman is her family and to that she devotes the best years of her life. Another reason is that mil lions of American husbands arc opposed to their wives getting into politics, wncn a woman tries to swim against that tide, she is aksing for trouble as Mrs. Coya Knutson discovered when she was elected to Congress from Min nesota. Hutband Releases Statement She was an attractive blonde in her early forties and married to Andy Knutson, owner of a small hotel in Oklce. Minn. On May 4, 1958. while Mrs. Knuston was serv- ing her second term in Con- gress. Andy signed his name to a manifesto and released it to the public. It said th during his wife's absence V,a AtfirnrxpA In th nmnl where it is practically non existent.'' He urged her not to run for re-election and con- eluded with his ringing ap - peal: "Coya. come home." Mn. Knuston charged the Coya Knulson, (D-Minn.) is after her husband, Andy, re io come home to him. (UPI) Ictter was inspired by her po litical opponents. Mrs. Knut son was defeated in the 1958 election and some time there after sued Andy for divorce and won. Women began agitating for political equality and more freedom in general in the middle of the 19th Century. They won the right to vole and hold office in some of the state before their nation al triumph in 1920. Thus in 1917 Miss Jcanette Rankin was a member of Congress from Montana. When Presi dent Wilson asked for a dec laration of war against Ger many, Miss Rankin voted nay and burst into tears. When President Roosevelt asked for a declaration of war against Japan in 1941, Miss Rankin again voted nay the only negative vote in cither House or Senate. Sen. Battie Caraway and Rep. Caroline O Day were recorded as not voting. There were a total of nine women in Congress, one in the Senate and eight in the House. Many Women Helped The solid work was done by a long list of women start- with Lucrecia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton who convoked a woman's rights rights conference in 1848. Su san B. Anthony precipitated first court test of women's suffrage by going to the polls in Rochester, N.Y. in 1872 and demanding a ballot. She was arrested, fined, refused to pay the fine and carried her fight up to the Supreme Court where she lost. It was Mrs. Carrie Chap-1 man Catt, head of the Nation-! al American Woman Suffrage , association, who led the fight for a constitutional amend-1 ment giving women the right to vote. She was an organizational genius and knew exactly how and when to turn the heat on j senators and congressmen. Her campaign began in 1915 and in five years the battle was over. Women's suffrage monopo-! lized the conversation In most ' American living rooms in the early years of the 20th Cen tury and even the servants got into it. Mary Foulke Mor rison says her Italian cook in quired one day what all the excitement was about and when it was explained the cook asked: "You mean I am now the equal of my hus band?" Assured that she was. the cook departed for home that night with a gleam in her eye. She returned the next morning with a black eye and her faith in the equal ity of women shaken forever.
