One hundred years after the passage of the 19th Amendment, The Vote tells the dramatic culmination story of the hard-fought campaign waged by American women for the right to vote - a transformative cultural and political movement that resulted in the largest expansion of voting rights in U.S. history.
In its final decade, from 1909 to 1920, movement leaders wrestled with contentious questions about the most effective methods for affecting social change. They debated the use of militant, even violent tactics, as well as hunger strikes and relentless public protests. The battle for the vote also upended previously accepted ideas about the proper role of women in American society and challenged the definitions of citizenship and democracy.
Exploring how and why millions of 20th-century Americans mobilized for - and against - women’s suffrage, The Vote brings to life the unsung leaders of the movement and the deep controversies over gender roles and race that divided Americans then - and continue to dominate political discourse today.

It's hard to comprehend how brothers with respect could not support fully the equality of sisters. Cheers to history and gratitude for those who paved the way ☮️🕊️

@Jaydon Davis Try pretending it's not schoolwork and you will probably end up getting really interested in what happened. If it weren't for these women you would probably not even know how to read! And you wouldn't be allowed to get on a computer and learn anything!⚘

The reality is that there are too many women out there that never exercised their right to vote. A right that didn’t came easy as we see in this video. Let’s get out of our comfort zone and vote in this coming November. Let’s show the world that we care about our children’s future. That we are educated humans with heart, who knows that killing a baby inside the womb is an act of cruelty. Let’s show the world we are not beasts.

How pathetic. The suffrage movement didn't start here.

The Democrat Party opposed and fought against the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th Amendment....The Republicans introduced, supported and passed ALL 4!!! Please learn history correctly....

[@caiojardim2280]

Don't fool people with diversionist tactics, taking advantage of the lack of knowledge of many about the historical fact that the Democratic and Republican parties practically switched positions and its members during the mid-20th century, due to racial politics. Shameful.

You're an ignorant fool.
