Today in FeministHistory
is our daily recap of the major milestones and minor advancements that shaped women’s history in the U.S.—from suffrage to Shirley Chisholm and beyond.
An early draft of this year’s Prohibition resolution simply called for “bringing about respect for the law by cooperation and active work for law enforcement,” with no specific reference to the Prohibition Amendment.
“Don’t take what the men hand out to you. Take for yourselves the kind of things you want in the platforms and tell the men so. Keep your backbone at the conventions. When they want your vote for a candidate of whom you don’t approve, don’t give it, even for a unit vote. Let the men see that women are going to help to lead them to the right kind of platforms and the right kind of candidates.”
Four years after passage of the suffrage amendment, we have not by any means achieved a utopian society, but the predictions of anti-suffragists that disastrous social consequences would inevitably follow if women won the vote have been proven to be just as ridiculous as they sounded at the time they were made.
