“A vote is like a rifle; its usefulness depends upon the charac ter of the user.” -Teddy Roosevelt
Think deeply about the world we live in today… Imagine if women made the first move, paid for the date, let their husbands cook every meal for them, the husband stayed home and cleaned, and the woman was the only one who went to work. It is a bit extreme, but these are the options or alternatives I believe women should have the choice of having.
The Women’s Suffrage Movement began with a simple indication in 1776 from Abigail Adams writing to her husband, John Quincy Adams, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to “remember the ladies” as he and others were creating the Declaration of Independence. This simple yet profound impact spurred not just a movement, but a revolution that is still progressing in present day. Unfortunately as anthropological studies have shown, women are still out-powered by men since there are no currently known matriarchy systems in the United States. This presentation will take the stance that the Feminist Movement gave women the power and voice to become Congressional Officials with the help of the 19th Amendment.
