Women Fight for the Right to Vote

"Women Fight for the Right to Vote." Thought Equity Motion Collections, 2011. U.S. History in Context, libdb.fairfield.edu/login?url=http://link.galegroup.com/apps/doc/PC4205129240/UHIC?u=a04fu&xid=1148ca46. Accessed 11 Dec. 2016.


The video puts into perspective the number of women involved in the movement. It also mentions how women were arrested, abused, and sent to jail for their actions. While the amendment was passed in Congress, the video mentions that men still had to vote on it. It goes to show that women had very little control over what they could do because men were still making decisions them. It becomes understandable of why they would want to fight for this right. After a while it begins to show that men decided to join the movement and thus led to the passage of the amendment. This source is incredibly informative because it shows pictures and videos and allows the viewer to see what it was like during the movement.
