Activists and Law Making • Alice Paul – believed in a more drastic method to win the vote • Led the National Women’s Party • Led protest marches to dramatize their efforts • Some members used hunger strikes • Other suffragettes dislike the methods of the NWP but they were vital in helping women gain the vote

What was different and what details/strategies did the two groups share?

  14. Create your list… NAWSA NWP

  15. Sort your information…

  16. Closure – Writing Assessment • Guiding Question: What kind of different tactics did women use to get the Nineteenth Amendment passed? • Answer this question in a 3 – 5 sentence paragraph on the back of your Venn Diagram. USE your Venn Diagram to help you.

  17. Today’s Activity • We are going to create a foldable! • Category 1 – Notable women – catalog all the notable women in this section including a short blurb about why we should know who they are. • Category 2 – What problems did women want to reform and WHY? • Category 3 – Women and the vote?
