18. 100 Years Ago Today
california women
remembered who defeated them in 1896
critics argued giving women the vote
could lower the standards of womanhood
they would fight on in spite of the liquor dealer's league and others
through the small towns and the valley
going from church to schools
door to door, person to person
their work was intense
endless handbills and newspaper articles
madame nordica called upon the men of california
“give women liberty!” -- give them the vote!
october 11, 1911
100 years ago today
california women were victorious
the “yes’s” out-numbered the “no’s”
- the golden state was one of six states were women had the right to vote. (wyoming, colorado, utah, idaho, washington). And nine years before the 19th amendment was ratified were all american women had the right to vote.
