Women's Call to Others

One reason the women’s suffrage movement was so successful was because of the suffragists’ determination to bring attention to their cause. In the decades before the equal suffrage amendment to the Constitution was made, women in America constantly paraded, launched petitions, and demonstrated in the streets to heighten awareness of the need for equal voting rights. Women kept up to date with the progress of the movement through newspapers like the Suffrage News Bulletin. Through the leadership of women like Katharine Ludington and Katharine Houghton Hepburn, thousands of women continued to fight for the right to vote.
