6.3.3 Women's Suffrage
Women's suffrage is women's right to vote and take part in the government. During the era 6 time period, women didn't have this right, so many strong empowered women were fighting for it. Even the presidents at that time were against women voting. Susan B. Anthony started the National Women's Suffrage Association. It's purpose was to convince Congress to change the Constitution and allow women to vote. And in 1919, the federal women suffrage amendment, originally written by Susan B. Anthony and introduced in Congress in 1878, was passed by the House of Representatives and the Senate.
