100 Years of Women's Voting Rights | Citizen: Full-Length Documentary

Ойын-сауық

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".

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
