100 Years of Women's Voting Rights | Citizen: Full-Length Documentary
Vložit
- čas přidán 25. 06. 2024
- Until the 1870s, women were considered the property of their husbands. Because of this, women weren't allowed to own property - and this even went to custody of their children. Women desired to be more fully part of the nation - to be considered full citizens and to earn the right to vote.
From pioneering activists of all races like indigenous politician Gertrude Bonnin to black Progressive Era leaders like Nellie Griswold Francis, the vote was seen as a mark of fuller citizenship and tool of change for concerns like healthcare, children, and women’s rights. Celebrate these suffragists on the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment with "Citizen".

Love how you bookended this with Dessa's "Sound the Bells." She's an I C O N to me lol
Also thanks for this great lens into the suffrage movement! Interesting to hear the story from Minnesota.
New Zealand was THE first country where women enjoyed emancipation, in 1893, nearly 130 years ago.
🇳🇿👧📦
4:15 in 2006 when I was 18 years old I was chosen to sit on a jury and the judge and the defense and the prosecution try to kick me off the jury but I stood my ground. I was on the jury for 2 days
I certainly met more diverse leaders of our historical past in this video piece! Very impressive Minnesota!!
(ill delete later working on history)) ,, so timestamps are easier to navigate :')
1. (3:19) When were women given the right to own property?
2. (5:06) Most historians credit the origin of the Women’s Suffrage Movement to who?
3. (11:10) What term do political scientists use to explain black women being excited for black men earning the right to vote?
4. (13:50) What does Julia B Nelson mean as the idea of freedom being “intersectional?”
5. (17:50) Why did women in the 1870’s go on crusades to local bars and establishments?
6. (22:53) Dr Ripley said her duty was to:
7. (34:21) What was the name of Nellie Francis’ radical and groundbreaking speech?
8. (37:35) What were a vast number of Native people reminded of when they think about the suffrage movement?
9. (46:20) How were picketing women, fighting for their rights, treated?
10. (50:30) What did the letter that Harry Burn’s received say?
11. (50:48) What was the official day the 19th Amendment became a law?
12. (53:45) What year was the Voting Rights Act passed? How many years after Women’s Suffrage?
It would have been nice to show all the women of different races who fought as well, more specifically Ida B. Wells.
woke documentary but not woke enough. why not make your own?
@@bertdaggler4837 1. I don't use or go by the term "woke" unless I'm referring to sleep. 2. I enjoyed the documentary but it only showed a quarter of the women who made strides for us. I was expecting to learn a lot more about unsung heroes from all backgrounds that I didn't know, or wasn't as familiar with. 3. I feel the same way when I watch a March On Washington documentary and it only highlights MLK and main speakers, but not any of the background organizers. Im also guilty of being a little upset that StarLords and Gamora's background is heavily covered on Guardians of the Galaxy, but we don't know much on the other crew members. 4. Its my party and I can cry if I want to.
Truly excellent and informative documentary at its best. Well done, Twin Cities PBS. And women, pay attention: those hard-won rights -- especially the right to vote -- are at risk of erosion everywhere in our nation in 2024. Stand up, register, and vote!
VERY INTRESTING BEST WISHES FROM MANCHESTER ENGLAND ❤️
Absolutely Brilliant! I really appreciate and enjoyed all that I learned!
3:50 is CRAAAAAAZZZYYYYYYY 😂😂😂😂😂
POV : tu passes l'agrégation d'anglais en 2022
Alors tu l'as eu ?
Fighting for all these rights then now fighting to be a stay at home mom is just manipulation at its finest
This was very interesting I am glad women are allowed to vote
as long as women have the responsibility that comes with being able to vote aka being drafted and going to war
@@jackjohnson6230 WHY ARE YOU SO OBSESSED WITH GOING TO WAR?!! CAN YOU JUST SHUT UP?!!
@@jackjohnson6230Are you saying that even men who are unfit to be drafted (disabled, too old, etc.) should not be allowed to vote?
@@jkinder1982 when men were young they could be and were drafted for true equality women should be the same not sure about the disabled
@@jackjohnson6230 Military service has never been a requirement for voting rights in the USA. This is a post-hoc rationalization for why women shouldn't have the right to vote as it's not something that was actually considered at the time when voting rights were being expanded.
If we accept America was first to give woman the vote and New Zealand the first nation to see the sun, then if we make New Zealand great again by implementing the same political system that NZ had in. 1893, that is people vote for a regional minister then the regional ministers vote for a Prime Minister, then this will create a revolution movement where politicians come together and people pay more attention to the local area.
POV: your in mr Perron class doing this work
Yes I'm totally in that class
Why was America so far behind Australia in emancipating women?
Because America is the least progressive Western nation.
The whole idea of voting is quite new, considering that not so long ago, all those democracies were monarchies, where often a woman, namely a queen was given the highest authority, and even after abolishment of monarchy, and introduction of republicanism, there was no such thing as one vote per individual. The only reason for changing from one vote per family to one vote per individual, and questioning the traditional role of man as the head of a family, was to weaken the family, by turning the wife and the husband against each other, and giving the power to children, who are the easiest to manipulate, and lack the social responsibility.
"one vote per family" is just a way of sugarcoating reality back then
@@Fandar The problem with transition from monarchy to republicanism was a poor legal-system in general, but the idea of one vote per family is still supreme to one vote per individual, and my point is, that changing this specific rule was a mistake.
@@Fandar women playing the victim sugar coats the female privileges then and now

Is it true that women were given the chance to vote in America and turned it down? because in order to vote they had to enroll in selective service like the men
+ Thee Kenny Bee yes it is true that was fair enough to be that way whereas now days
feminism = hypocrites they want the rights but not the responsibilities and consequences that come with those rights
No. In fact it was somewhat the other way around. The right to vote for women gained ground after some women fought in the war voluntarily and the US appreciated that.
I will say that often when progressive women fight for rights, conservative women express fear that those rights would mean mandatory selective service for women too. That has yet to be true.
I do hear arguments today for removing gender requirements for selective service, but it's not *linked* to other rights women have or want.
Now I am going to watch a documentary on abortion rights in America.
Lord God,
Please let me repent my sins. I was blind. I did not see the light.
Lord God,
I am blind, help me see. I feel satans presence but I can not see him.
I’m watching this as a non binary person
read this 100111010101010100101
No-one is nonbinary. That's nonsense.
Womp womp world was better when they did not vote
Lesbians ? or confused?
Pov:M.oclay
What a disastrous decision. 😢
You don't even know what it was like before the 1920s and why do men like you praise the 1950s so much when it was 30 years after they got the vote?
There is no logical reason to deny women the right to vote. Any reason you could possibly come up with would apply equally to at least some men.
@@trollnerd the draft
@@firstgenchevelleman there are many men who either are not eligible for or never needed to sign up for the draft such as men with disabilities or men who became naturalized citizens after the age of 26. In addition, the draft has never been required nor a qualification for voting at any time in our country's history. In fact if you go back to the founders' days it was really the opposite (those who were drafted were the least likely to have voting rights due to the land ownership requirement)
@@trollnerd they shouldn’t vote either. Need to go back to the founding fathers days.
