, WOMEN SUFFRAGE IN THE UNITED STATES 2
Introduction
In most early societies, which historians refer to as civilized then, women were
not allowed to participate in the running of the society, which involved voting and being
involved in leadership positions. Such societies included the ancient Greek and
Republican Rome. Other societies were the emerging democracies in Europe. Like the
case in Great Britain in 1832, the widening of the Franchise still did not grant women a
right to vote. Women's voting rights took center stage at this juncture, with the struggle
becoming intense in the early 19th century, particularly in Great Britain and the United
States. This is when Women Suffrage, better known as the 19th Amendment to the United
States constitution, was birthed. Women Suffrage transformed the place of the American
woman in society, with women not only being allowed to vote but also participating in
elections through vying for elective positions.
Causes of Women Suffrage
Women in the United States were facing a myriad of issues. While society had
conditioned them to remain homemakers, give birth and take care of the homestead, some
women were raising beyond this thinking. However, four issues were responsible for
Women Suffrage which later resulted in the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the
United States constitution;
i) Property rights for married women- The ancient U.S society never allowed
married women to own property. In fighting for their liberation, most historians
believe that being allowed to vote was the only issue women were championing for
