In 1848 at Seneca Falls, New York, the road to women’s
suffrage was put into motion. It reached its culmination in
1920 when the nineteenth amendment to the Constitution
became law. But, like African American males earlier, the
right to vote did not bring with it the guarantee of equality
among the sexes. In the 1960s there was a reemergence
and push for equality for all.
In groups of 3-4 students you are to research one of the
topics below. Then you will create a poster or a powerpoint
presentation that highlights the key points for your topic.
Topics
1. Women’s Right’s Convention, Seneca Falls, N.Y.
and “Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions”
2. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony
3. Ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment
to the Constitution
4. Flappers, Bloomers and Women in the 1920s
5. The Equal Rights Amendment
Your grade for this project will be based on the quality of your
research, the poster or powerpoint presentation you create, and
your presentation of the project to the class.
Good Luck & Have Fun!
