Top Questions
What did the women s suffrage movement fight for?
The women’s suffrage movement fought for the right of women by law to vote in national or local elections.
When did the women s suffrage movement start?
The women’s suffrage movement made the question of women’s voting rights into an important political issue in the 19th century. The struggle was particularly intense in Great Britain and in the United States, but those countries were not the first to grant women the right to vote, at least not on a national basis.
The General Assembly has decreed a monument recognizing the decades of efforts to secure the right to vote for women be placed on the Indiana Statehouse grounds.
The Indiana House voted 97-0 Tuesday to send Senate Enrolled Act 6 to Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb, who is expected to sign it into law. It previously passed the Senate, 47-0.
The Indiana Womenâs Suffrage Centennial Commission created the monument as part of its 2020 celebrations of the 100th anniversary of ratification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guaranteeing women the right to vote throughout the nation.
Holcombâs Department of Administration, however, declined to place the monument at the Statehouse absent General Assembly approval.
