Johanna Neuman

4.9/5 (34198 ratings)

Description:A comprehensive history of the women’s suffrage movement in the United States, from 1776 to 1965Most suffrage histories begin in 1848, when Elizabeth Cady Stanton first publicly demanded the right to vote at the Women’s Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, New York. And they end in 1920, when Tennessee became the 36th state to ratify the 19th Amendment, removing sexual barriers to the vote. And Yet They Persisted traces agitation for the vote over two centuries, from the revolutionary era to the civil rights era, excavating one of the greatest struggles for social change in this country and restoring African American women and other women of color to its telling. In this sweeping history, author Johanna Neuman demonstrates that American women defeated the male patriarchy only after they convinced men that it was in their interests to share political power. Reintegrating the long struggle for the women’s suffrage into the metanarrative of U.S. history, Dr. Neuman sheds new light on such questions as:~ Why it took so long to achieve equal voting rights for women~ How victories in state suffrage campaigns pressured Congress to act~ Why African American women had to fight again for their rights in 1965~ How the struggle by eight generations of female activists finally succeededAnd Yet They Persisted: How American Women Won the Right to Vote is the ideal text for college courses in women’s studies and history covering the women’s suffrage movement, as well as courses on American History, Political History, Progressive Era reforms, or reform movements in general.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
