A teacher has spent the week teaching about women's suffrage in the United States during the late 1800s. Below is an outline of a lesson for today. Read the lesson, then write a short description of a lesson that might have preceded this one and one that
might follow.
I. Women's Suffrage (late 19th century)
A. National Women Suffrage Association worked to increase congressional support for a constitutional amendment.
B. Suffragists attempted to cast ballots in elections and to test voting rights in the courts.
1. Susan B. Anthony attempted to vote (early 1870s) and sued when she was prevented from doing so, but lost.
2. Sojourner Truth was turned away before she could obtain a ballot.
C. Congress did not seem to be moving toward support for an amendment.
What will be an ideal response?
A preceding lesson most likely contained events that explained how the Women's Suffrage Movement arrived at where it was in the late 1800s. It probably addressed major players and their activities before this time, issues associated with why women were not allowed to vote, and other major events of the day. A lesson that follows this one would most likely contain events that explain how the Women's Suffrage Movement finally succeeded in passing an amendment giving women the right to vote.
