Woman Suffrage Awakens Across States in 1647 Tale
Washington honors the long path to the 19th amendment with a history of early hints in 1647 Maryland via Mistress Margaret Brent, Abigail Adams letters, and the later 1848 Seneca Falls gathering led by Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. The revolt for votes grew through Susan B. Anthony, Carrie Catt, and militant tactics culminating in nationwide ratification. The text lists multiple states that ratified from June 1919 onward.
