  10. Women Fight For the Right to Vote • The Women’s Suffrage Movement had existed since the 1860’s but was unsuccessful on the federal level although several states had granted women the vote. • Carrie Chapman Catt – President of NAWSA who formed the two pronged strategy to fight for suffrage • Lobby congress for a constitutional amendment • Use the new referendum process to win the vote on a state level.

  11. Activists and Law Making • Alice Paul – believed in a more drastic method to win the vote • Led the National Women’s Party • Led protest marches to dramatize their efforts • Some members used hunger strikes • Other suffragettes dislike the methods of the NWP but they were vital in helping women gain the vote

  13. Venn Diagram – Women’s Suffrage • A Venn Diagram is used to compare and contrast information about a topic. We will use this tool to learn more about Women’s Suffrage. • Procedure: • On your OWN paper create a two column list of important details about NAWSA and the NWP. • Use your list to sort your information into the correct part of the Venn Diagram. What was different and what details/strategies did the two groups share?

  14. Create your list… NAWSA NWP

  15. Sort your information…

  16. Closure – Writing Assessment • Guiding Question: What kind of different tactics did women use to get the Nineteenth Amendment passed? • Answer this question in a 3 – 5 sentence paragraph on the back of your Venn Diagram. USE your Venn Diagram to help you.

  17. Today’s Activity • We are going to create a foldable! • Category 1 – Notable women – catalog all the notable women in this section including a short blurb about why we should know who they are. • Category 2 – What problems did women want to reform and WHY? • Category 3 – Women and the vote? Trace the track of suffragettes efforts to win the vote for women including Tennessee’s special role in the process.
