Women’s suffrage movement from colonial era to ratification
The excerpt traces global colonial periods and the U S long road to woman suffrage. It highlights Abigail Adams urging representation, Seneca Falls organizers Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B Anthony’s 1872 voting test, and the 1875 suffrage amendment draft. It covers state by state gains through 1918, the National Woman’s Party’s push, White House picketing 1917, federal amendment passage in 1919, and rapid ratifications through 1920, ending with California’s ratification and notes on late battles in New Jersey West Virginia and Delaware. The Pacific depth note appears as a non sequitur.
