Chapter+Presentation

Woman's suffrage was the right for women to vote. They were placed at a low level along with blacks. For many years, they had to protest and fight for their rights. They did this many different whhgays. A major way was standing outside the White House for many months (even through the winter). They stood there in silence and in some cases, they read quotes from the president and through the quote into a fire. Many women were jailed for these crimes. They were often thrown into prisons that were more like sweatshops in that they had to work long hours of labor. In these prisons, they went on strikes to protest even behind bars. They often sang, chanted and would not eat. However, all these ladies work and sacrifices have paid off and women are now eligible and equal to men.
