Semester Project "We've come a long way Part-1"

My animation is about the women suffrage in America and it is primarily focused on Alice Paul, a women suffragist.

Alice Stokes Paul was born in 1885 in New Jersey. After graduating college in America, Paul went to a training school at Woodbridge, England. While continuing her studies, she worked at a London settlement house as a case work. She remained in England from 1907 to 1910. It was in England that she witnessed the women’s suffrage movement and this became her long life struggle. Paul met many Pankhursts suffragist in England and joined them in many of their protests. Paul went back to America and joined the National American Women Suffrage Association (NAWSA). She later created the Congressional Union and the National Woman’s Party. With Paul’s effort she helped passed the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920. After a 70 year struggle for women suffrage in America, women are finally able to vote. My video depicts a satirical reaction of the government’s objection to ratify the Nineteenth Amendment and to recognize Alice Paul.

The struggle for Equal Rights was not easy. Before the amendment was passed, President Woodrow Wilson did objected women’s right to vote. However, with the help of other suffragists and the women’s effort in supporting American troops in World War I changed Wilson. Despite Wilson’s support, many members of the Senate did not agree with the vote. The first attempt to pass the amendment failed by two senate votes. After the failed decision, women were still allowed to vote in some states. This was not enough though. Suffragists strived to have the right to vote at the national level. To portray the struggle for the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, I would like to show this in my future videos.
