Women's Suffrage Movement In America, a long journey to be celebrated

It is unbelievable in to think of discrimination between men and women in the modern democratic world. In  1820  white women, black men, and black women were deprived of voting right. Only a few propertied -males were eligible to vote and contributed to policy-making for the nation. After a strainful journey, black males were given the right. White women were the next to get the privilege of suffrage but for black women, both white and black males and white females became a great threat, unwilling to accept black females on the same pedestal. Daring leaders from black females took command of the suffrage movement and somehow, got the support of their white counterparts, and fought for their rights. It took 100 years to attain the goal. On August 18, 1920, through the 19th Amendment Act, the battle was won in favor of black females. A final takeaway from such amazing stories is that the life of Democracy in the US is just 100 year old and need to be strengthened by the term inclusivity for all in the process of policy-making.  

Yes, dear students, we need to discard this concept of discrimination in our society. That will be our real tribute to our courageous Black leaders who fought for women's suffrage. History should not repeat such painful episodes in any other nation. Once we understand this and take accountability for that, we are the true citizens of the world. 

Women are only dedicated mothers, and submissive wives, and this shadowy picture of women changed. Seneca Convention of 1848 witnessed a new emerging womanhood, conscious about their rights and ready to fight for them. They became the torchbearers of the Women's Suffrage Movement.
