Y Ready, Set, READ!
Read the passage. Then answer the questions.
You’ll agree that in a democracy all citizens should have the
right to vote. But for years, only white males could vote in the
United States. This has changed, as you know. We owe thanks
for this in large part to the tireless work of Susan B. Anthony
and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. They were two of the leaders of
the women’s movement of the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Anthony and Stanton worked to get equal rights for
women. They gave speeches and wrote articles. But fairness
for women in jobs, in pay, and in property disputes did not
come easily. It was an uphill battle. Getting women the right
to vote was a big part of that fight.
Both Anthony and Stanton kept up the struggle. Neither lived to see women
finally go to the polls. But that day wouldn’t have come without them and
those who followed their lead. The efforts of those brave American citizens show
that determined people working together can be a powerful force for change.
