Suffrage Letter
Women began fighting for the right to vote in the 1850’s at the Seneca Falls Convention. It was a long and arduous process that took almost seventy years before women were granted the right to vote in America. In 1920 congress passed the 19th amendment granting women’s suffrage.
It was a trying journey for women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Alice Paul. They marched in Washington D.C., picketed outside the white house, and wrote thousands of letters to the President and Congress asking for the right to vote.
It is your job to help recreate the type of letter that was written to the President or to congress. You assignment is to write a letter that details the reasons why women deserve the right to vote, and why it is important for all of America that women are granted suffrage. Here are your requirements.
- A letter written to the President of the United States or Congress stating why women should be granted suffrage.
- Three paragraphs.
- Proper Salutations (ex. Dear Mr. President, Sincerely yours)
- It must be dated between 1910 and 1919.
- It must be stained with tea, and look old and authentic.
