19th Amendment

Celebrating a 70-year struggle to vote

June 4, 2019 by Georgia Mullen Leave a Comment

It took seven decades of steady, often brutal, campaigning to get United States women the right to vote. The activism began in 1848 when Elizabeth Cady Stanton and friends shocked the local patriarchy by getting together in a church to tell their menfolk what they expected out of life. At that point, men should have […]

Women rule in Seneca Falls

March 28, 2012 by Georgia Mullen 1 Comment

If you support women’s rights and haven’t made a trip to Seneca Falls, NY—go!

Alice Paul Institute focuses on girls’ leadership

December 16, 2010 by Georgia Mullen 1 Comment

Alice Paul is my second favorite women’s rights hero after Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Still it is only today I learned about the Alice Paul Institute in Mount Laurel, New Jersey. Founded in 1984 to commemorate the centennial of Paul’s 1885 birth and to further her legacy, the organization was operated by volunteers for more than […]

Outrageous behavior led to 19th Amendment

August 26, 2010 by Georgia Mullen 3 Comments

Today is not simply another Women’s Equality Day. Aug. 26, 2010 marks the 90th anniversary of the 19th Amendment giving women the right to full citizenship, that is the privilege and responsibility to vote. I looked up the text of the 19th Amendment and found it to be two simple sentences of merely 39 words: […]

90 years voting by frailer sex

August 21, 2010 by Georgia Mullen Leave a Comment

In 1920 it took only 39 words to give U.S. women the right to vote. In 1971 192 words were deemed necessary to proclaim Aug. 26 Women’s Equality Day. But, hey, we’re happy to have both. In July 1848, when Elizabeth Cady Stanton stood up in the Wesleyan Chapel in Seneca Falls and declared females […]
