USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The first women’s suffrage organizations were created in 1869. Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton founded the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA), while Lucy Stone, Julia Ward Howe, and Henry Blackwell founded the American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA).

Detailed explanation-2: -The woman’s suffrage movement is important because it resulted in passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which finally allowed women the right to vote.

Detailed explanation-3: -The women’s suffrage movement fought for the right of women by law to vote in national or local elections.

Detailed explanation-4: -I suspect that the suffrage leaders who guided the movement to its successful conclusion on August 26, 1920, felt the same way. Once the 19th Amendment passed, suffragists claimed a new moniker-that of women citizens.

Detailed explanation-5: -The women’s movement was most successful in pushing for gender equality in workplaces and universities. The passage of Title IX in 1972 forbade sex discrimination in any educational program that received federal financial assistance. The amendment had a dramatic affect on leveling the playing field in girl’s athletics.
