The 19th Amendment (women's suffrage)
While women were not always united in their goals, and the
fight for women's suffrage was complex and interwoven with
issues of civil and political rights for all Americans, the efforts
of women like Ida B. Wells and Alice Paul led to the passage
of the 19th Amendment.
Women back then couldn’t vote or work but on August 18,
1920 the 19th amendment granted women the right to vote.
Passed by Congress June 4, 1919, and ratified on August 18,
1920, the 19th amendment granted women the right to vote.

Introduction Narration (year, cause, description of event/topic):
While women were not always united in their goals, and the fight for women's suffrage was
complex and interwoven with issues of civil and political rights for all Americans, the efforts of
women like Ida B. Wells and Alice Paul led to the passage of the 19th Amendment. Passed by
Congress June 4, 1919, and ratified on August 18, 1920, the 19th amendment granted women the
right to vote. The women's suffrage movement was founded by women who had become
politically active through their work in the abolitionist and temperance movements.

Narration During Acting

Scene 1: ¨couldn't own land/property¨ Single women could own property under certain
circumstances, but married women in the U.S. couldn't buy or own property in their own
name until the mid-1800s

Scene 2: ¨husbands controlled them¨ Women would be controlled by their husbands at

home, since they did not work. The men made the money, while women cleaned the
house, or took care of the kids.

Scene 3: ¨voting” On August 18, 1920 the 19th amendment granted women the right to
vote. In the video, the women are now allowed to vote, dropping their votes in the box.
