When 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.
