“Votes for Women! The
Woman's Reason" by the
National American Woman
Suffrage Association, 1912
|
In 1848, a conference was held about women’s right to vote in Seneca Falls, New York; it was not the first of its kind, but many historians agree that this conference was a turning point that brought national attention to the movement. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, who were two major figures in the women’s suffrage movement, attended. There, the Declaration of Sentiments was signed and advocated for women to have more rights, such as voting. While women had been active members of history and politics long before they got the right to vote, they did not receive the right to vote until 1920.
