2020 Women's Vote Centennial
What does this mean for women?
With the passage of the 19th Amendment, women were written into the U.S.
Constitution for the first time. However, not all women participated or
benefited equally because in the years to follow the fundamental right was
diminished by laws that discriminated and limited its scope.
Why do we commemorate the 19th Amendment centennial?
To increase our understanding of what it took to win this right, and what can
be learned from this struggle that applies not only to women, but also to other
groups today that feel disempowered. This anniversary reminds us of the
privilege and power that come with active participation through voting in our
democracy.
No matter what side of the aisle, society benefits when all voices are
represented equally. The centennial anniversary of women’s suffrage is a time
to reflect on this accomplishment and to renew our commitment to exercise our
hard-won right.
"IT IS INCREDIBLE TO ME THAT ANY WOMAN SHOULD CONSIDER THE FIGHT FOR FULL
EQUALITY WON. IT HAS JUST BEGUN."
ALICE PAUL, 1920
Paul earned a PhD from the University of Pennsylvania in 1910 where she joined
the women’s suffrage efforts learning militant protest tactics. She advocated
for and helped secure passage of the 19th Amendment.
