Description: About this productProduct InformationWhen Women Won the Vote focuses on the final decade (1910-1920) of American women's fight for the vote--a fight that had already been underway for more than sixty years, and which culminated in the passage of the 19th amendment in 1920. Sandra Opdycke reveals how woman suffragists campaigned in communities across the country, building a mass movement and tirelessly publicizing their cause. Meanwhile, in Washington DC, the main suffrage organization led by Carrie Chapman Catt courted the President and Congress with diplomatic skill, while the smaller National Woman's Party, headed by Alice Paul, intensified political pressure with confrontational picketing and demonstrations. Supported by primary documents and online eResources, this book adds context by describing the historical events that shaped this crucial decade in American women's fight for the vote. The story of how American women won the vote is a compelling chapter in US women's history and in the story of American democracy. This book is essential reading for students of American Political or Women's History, Gender Studies, or Progressivism.Product IdentifiersPublisherRoutledgeISBN-101138044881ISBN-139781138044883eBay Product ID (ePID)15038721067Product Key FeaturesAuthorSandra OpdyckePublication NameWhen Women Won the Vote : the Final Decade, 1910-1920FormatTrade PaperbackLanguageEnglishSeriesCritical Moments in American History Ser.Publication Year2019TypeTextbookNumber of Pages194 PagesDimensionsItem Length9in.Item Width6in.Item Weight9.6 OzAdditional Product FeaturesLc Classification NumberJk1896.O97 2020Table of ContentSeries Introduction List of Illustrations Acknowledgments Timeline Introduction The Long Road from Seneca Falls: 1848-1910 New Life for the State Suffrage Campaigns: 1910-1913 The Federal Amendment Takes Center Stage: 1913-1917 Working for Suffrage in Wartime: 1917-1918 The Culmination: 1918-1920 Living With Woman Suffrage Documents Bibliography IndexCopyright Date2020Target AudienceCollege AudienceTopicWomen, Women in Politics, Civil Rights, Constitutions, GeneralLccn2019-013087Dewey Decimal324.6230973Dewey Edition23IllustratedYesGenreHistory, Political ScienceI
