Reposted from @quotabelle - “Forget conventionalisms; forget what the world will say, whether you are in your place or out of your place; think your best thoughts, speak your best words, do your best works.” ~ Susan B. Anthony . . Many crusaders worked tirelessly to ensure women had the right to vote, and it took many years after the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment for ALL women to have voting rights. These timeless words are from the New England schoolteacher who withstood endless ridicule believing “Failure is impossible.” . . #BeautifullySaid by #susanbanthony #suffragist #nineteenthamendment #womensrighttovote #quotabelle - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/B1W5HC_FdXv/?igshid=8oljqccs45y

Women’s Suffrage and the Campaign for the Nineteenth Amendment

On August 18th, 1920, the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution was ratified, giving women across the country the long overdue right to vote. This significant moment in history was fueled by the work of activists and organizations advocating for universal voting rights. While these efforts had roots in earlier decades, the amendment was the culmination of a twentieth century women’s suffrage movement. 

Learn more about the campaign, important members of the movement, and the challenges they faced with DPLA’s Primary Source Set and Teaching Guide, “Women’s Suffrage: Campaign for the Nineteenth Amendment”. This set includes photos, advertisements, maps, and other documents that shed light on this milestone in the struggle towards equality.

105 years ago today, it became illegal to deny U.S. citizens the right to vote on the basis of sex, which we celebrate as a victory in the history of women's rights. We have continued the fight for women's equality to this day!

100 years ago women won the right to vote across the country, but it didn’t stop the disenfranchisement of Black, Indigenous Latina and Asian American women. There is so much work to do, and we will continue to do it. Today I voted wearing red lipstick thinking of our women ancestors, and thanked them for all they did 💄 #womenstrong #womenssuffrage #nineteenthamendment #equalrightsamendment #votingrightsact #unboughtandunbossed #VOTE https://www.instagram.com/p/CEDaYgUn7TI/?igshid=z9ml7uejaymo
