Woman Suffrage to the Nineteenth Amendment
Captions available
The idea
Stanton, Anthony, Catt and Paul built the case for a constitutional amendment. Paul's Silent Sentinels picketed the White House for years; their hunger strike and force-feeding became a scandal.
In practice
The Nineteenth Amendment ratified in nineteen twenty.
Where people slip
Suffrage came to fruition partly through the war's circumstances and, unlike prohibition, it stayed. The women's movement then waned for a time.
