  5. Civil Disobedience – nonviolent refusal to obey a law in an effort to change the law. • Convicted at trial-refused to pay $100 fine. • National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) named Anthony the President from 1892-1900.

  6. Suffrage at the Turn of the Century • Married women could now buy, sell, and will property. • Yet, lawyer, Myra Bradwell was refused a license to practice law in Chicago 1869. • She took the case to the Supreme Court. • Bradwell v. Illinois (1873) – the court upheld the denial, reaffirming the “wide difference in the respective spheres and destinies of man and woman”. • Myra Bradwell finally got her license in 1890. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.bradwell.cps.k12.il.us/Bradwell%2520School/Images/myra2-tan-background.jpg&imgrefurl =http://www.bradwell.cps.k12.il.us/Bradwell%2520School/history.htm&h=189&w=143&sz=8&hl=en&tart=4&tbnid=3TjM5wqvBeMdkM:&tbnh=103 &tbnw=78&prev=/images%3Fq%3DMyra%2BBradwel%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26rls%3DGGLD,GGLD:2005-11,GGLD:en%26sa%3DN

  7. Most Americans believed proper the sphere for woman was home. • Women more active lobbying and picketing. Two basic arguments against woman voting… 1.Women are powerful enough without voting. 2. It would blur the distinction between sexes and make women more masculine. • Many assumed women would quickly establish prohibition.
