Explanation:

The right to vote of women was proposed seriously for the first time in the United States in July 1848, at the Seneca Falls Women's Rights Convention, organized by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott. One of the women who attended that convention was Charlotte Woodward, who at that time was 19 years old. In 1920, when women finally won the right to vote across the nation, Charlotte Woodward was the only participant in the 1848 convention that still lived to vote, although she was apparently too ill to actually vote.

By the beginning of the 20th century, some battles for women's suffrage had already been won state by state. Alice Paul and the National Women's Party began to use more radical tactics to work for a federal amendment to the Constitution: they picketed posters in front of the White House, organized large marches and demonstrations, went to jail. Thousands of ordinary women participated in these actions - a family legend is that my grandmother was part of a group of women who chained themselves to the door of a court in Minneapolis during this period.

In 1913, Paul led a march of eight thousand participants on the day of President Woodrow Wilson's inauguration. (Half a million viewers saw them, two hundred were wounded in the violence that was unleashed.) During Wilson's second inauguration in 1917, Paul led a march around the White House. Facing a well-organized and well-financed anti-shipwreck movement who argued that most women did not really want the vote, and that they were not qualified to exercise it anyway.
