Sexist or Not?

            Women are putting out a large cry. They want suffrage, or a right to vote. For 40 years they were wanting equal rights as men. Up till 1920 only the men were able to vote, or put in a vote for their wives.

            In 1890, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton as leaders forms the National American Woman Suffrage (NAWS) is the woman who was arrested in 1872. In 1895 Stanton publishes the women’s Bible telling people they have a right to vote.

 Books were written to tell this nation that women aren’t just toys. The famous book The yellow wallpaper was written saying that the treatment of rest was a wrong way to go in order to help women relax. Many doctor’s ignored it at first. But then they started to try different reasons to help women. Finally in 1920, on August 26 the 19^th amendment was passed to let women vote in their nation.
