April meeting: discussion of The Woman's Hour and suffrage for american women |
|
Elaine Weiss's novel, The Woman's Hour, brought to life the historical figures who worked so hard to allow American women to vote and also those who fought hard to keep women from getting the right to vote. We had a lively and wonderful discussion of how much we learned from this book. Thank you, Harry Burn, for finally voting YES to the 19th Amendment. Because of the Nineteenth Amendment, women are guaranteed the right to vote, in particular, white women. Sadly, the restrictions at registration sites and polls that kept non-white men from voting would apply to non-white women as well. It would stay that way until the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
