MATERNAL COMMONWEALTH
WINNING THE VOTE AT
LAST
• Starting in 1910, some states in the West
began to extend the vote to women for the
first time in almost 20 years.
• In 1916, NAWSA president Carrie Chapman
Catt unveiled what she called a “Winning
Plan” to get the vote at last: a blitz campaign
that mobilized state and local suffrage
organizations all over the country, with a special
focus on those recalcitrant regions.
• Meanwhile, a splinter group called the
National Woman’s Party founded by Alice
Paul focused on more radical, militant
tactics—hunger strikes and White
House pickets, for instance—aimed at
winning dramatic publicity for their cause.
• PRESIDENT WILSON SAYS THIS IS TIME
TO SUPPORT WOMAN SUFFRAGE
•WW1:slowed the suffragists’ campaign but helped them
advance their argument nonetheless: Women’s work on behalf
of the war effort, activists pointed out, proved that they were just
as patriotic and deserving of citizenship as men.
•19TH AMENDMENT: Finally, on August 18, 1920,
the 19th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified. And on
November 2 of that year, more than 8 million women across the
United States voted in elections for the first time.
