Hi Class,
Women’s Suffrage
“After the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920, women of color were often kept from the polls through a variety of tactics. They faced racial and ethnic discrimination and were often discouraged from voting via violence (Shirley Chisholm, 2023).” The women have the right to vote mentoned on the 19th Amendment has suffered a lot of women. The 19th Amendment guarantees American women the right to vote. Achieving this milestone required a lengthy and difficult struggle; victory took decades of agitation. Beginning in the mid-19th century, woman suffrage supporters lectured, wrote, marched, lobbied, and practiced civil disobedience to achieve what many Americans considered radical change. Between 1878, when the amendment was first introduced in Congress, and 1920, when it was ratified, champions of voting rights for women worked tirelessly, but their strategies varied. Some tried to pass suffrage acts in each state, nine western states adopted woman suffrage legislation by 1912. Others challenged male-only voting laws in the courts. More public tactics included parades, silent vigils, and hunger strikes. Supporters were heckled, jailed, and sometimes physically abused. Women’s place is in the home women should not be exposed to the corruption of politics and women will be unable to understand the issues, economics and politics are a man’s world. Women don’t want to vote only a few radical, masculine, dominant women want it. Men are the head of the household men’s votes cover women’s interests. Women’s efforts to find and express their voice contrasted sharply with the dominant masculine culture. Jokes published in the UA yearbooks reinforced valuing women for their appearance and belittling their intelligence. I have seen a lot of unfair treatment towards women. For example, getting a chance to run as a President of the United States. And a lot of management positions are held by mens, I see a lot of that today. I think if this would have changed in the past, there were a lot of women leaders as of today.

The prohibition went on for almost 14 years in the 1920’s and was brought on by the 18th Amendment which prohibited the production, distrubtuion and sale of alcohol. The 18th Amendment was easily one of the least popular Amendments in U.S. History. The 21st Amendement was ratified on the 5th of December of 1933 which ended the Prohibition. Some of the reasons why America created the 18th Amendement was to reduce social issues like domestic violence, medical issues and chid abandoment.
In the end it did very little to stop those social issues which was thought to be brought on by the consumption of alcohol. Many people lost their jobs, an income which would just create more depression within someone and their family. In my opinion that would just create more social issues within society. Not only did people lose their way of life by the sales of alcohol it costed the goverment roughly $11 billion in lost revenue. So it’s effectiveness was subpar to say the least.
