Voices for the Vote: The Story of Women’s Suffrage

In this lesson, students explore the women’s suffrage movement with a focus on the events surrounding the 1913 Women’s March and the eventual passage of the 19th Amendment. Using primary sources, including historical images and quotes, students explore the challenges women faced in their fight for voting rights and analyze how civic activism shaped American democracy. Through inquiry-based learning and the use of historical evidence, students build a deeper understanding of how the right to vote was won—and why the movement continued beyond 1920.
