A Stolen History-A Stolen History: The REAL Story of the Suffrage Movement
Women had the right to abortion and birth control before Christian Nationalists aligned with the American Medical Association to pass laws in the 1870’s imprisoning anyone educating about
birth control or giving abortions.
150 years ago, suffragist Elizabeth Cady Stanton supported a “woman's right to become a mother or not as her desire, judgment and conscience may dictate...to be absolute sovereign of herself”.
Her colleague, Matilda Joslyn Gage said, "blood always boils at advice from a man in regard to a family. That, at least, should be the province of woman alone. To say when and how often she chooses to go down into the valley of the shadow of death, to give the world another child,
should be hers alone to say."
170 years ago women made less than half the wages of men; today we make a little over 75%. Will it take us another 170 years to reach pay equity?
The Equal Rights Amendment was proposed 101 years ago. Today women still don’t have equal rights protected in the United States Constitution.
These struggles of women today –and more --were those of our feminist foremothers. Why has that herstory been stolen from us?
Fact checking feminism
The women’s suffrage movement began in 1848 in Seneca Falls, NY and Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton led the fight for the vote until 1920, when women received the right to vote with the 19th amendment.
Is this the story you learned about the women’s suffrage movement?
Unfortunately, every part of it is wrong.
Democracy existed on this land before Columbus
Imagine that women have the right to choose all political representatives, removing from office anyone who doesn’t make wise decisions for the future. Living in a world free from violence against them, women will not allow a man to hold office if he has violated a woman. Economically independent, they have the final say in matters of war and peace and the absolute right to their own bodies.
