Jenkins, Jessica D. "Marching Shoulder to Shoulder: New Life in The Connecticut Women Suffrage Movement." Association for the Study of Connecticut History, vol. 50, no. 2, 2011, pp. 131-46. EBSOhost. Accessed 10 Dec. 2016.
This source discusses the influence of state-by-state action in the fight for women’s suffrage. Jenkins clarifies the difference between the two most popular national organizations for women’s suffrage, the NWSA and the AWSA. She also discusses the effects of having the separate groups and why the merger between the two was beneficial to the suffrage movement. Stone focused her organization, the AWSA, mostly on state legislations in order to pull together smaller pieces of the suffrage puzzle. This method won out in the end when Stanton and Stone combined forces in 1890. Overall, the source is very useful for general information on the suffrage movement, but also focuses on Stanton and Stone, the two leaders of the organizations. It goes into useful detail about the efforts made by the merger of the two organizations these women ran. Jenkins also shows how the state-by-state method was beneficial in winning the right by using Connecticut as an example. This source will be useful in the paper because of the compare/contrast aspect Jenkins included. That information is the basis of the topic of the paper, and the explanations she provides include specific examples of the widespread effects of the movements the NAWSA created.
