Note from the Editor
To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Congress passing the 19th Amendment (June 4, 1919 and ratified on August 18, 1920), which was first proposed in 1878, this month's issue includes paper dolls of Sojourner Truth (1797-1883) and Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906). The 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex." Abolitionists Truth and Anthony as well as Harriet Tubman (1822-1913), Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815-1902), Lucretia Mott (1793-1880), Matilda Joslyn Gage (1826-1898), Frederick Douglass (1818-1895) and many others supported women's suffrage, which saw its inception in the U.S. in the 1840s. In 1848, Stanton and Mott held a women's conference in Seneca Falls, NY that addressed the rights of women. Several days before the conference, Stanton wrote the Declaration of Sentiments and Grievances, modeled after the U.S. Declaration of Independence, which she read to conference attendees. The Declaration of Sentiments included a resolution for the right of women to vote; this is seen as the beginning of the movement for a woman's right to vote.1 The first National Women's Rights Convention was held in 1850 in Worcester, Massachusetts. Truth attended the first convention, but she gave her famous "Ain't I a Woman" at a women's convention in Akron, Ohio in 1851, the same year of the second National Women's Rights Convention.2 Truth, a preacher, was a captivating speaker at both abolitionist and suffragist meetings.3 In 1867, Anthony and Cady worked to get legislation passed in Kansas. The suffragists adopted the sunflower, the state flower for Kansas, as their symbol. During that time, they decided to use the color gold to be associated with the women's suffrage movement. Suffragists used the color gold coupled with purple and sometimes white and green.4 Anthony worked in the women's suffragist movement from 1851 to 1906 doing speaking tours, gathering petitions to be presented to Congress, and holding an officer position in the National American Woman Suffrage Association.5 Truth and Anthony worked together, but they later ended their association.6 Although they did not live to see the 19th Amendment signed, their hard work, along with many others, helped to lay the ground work that led to the ratification of 19th Amendment. Please share these paper dolls with children, your friends and your family as a reminder of the important contributions Truth, Anthony, and many others made to the women's suffrage movement.
