Originally published in Encyclopedia Americana in 1920, this Kindle edition, equivalent in length to a physical book of approximately 24 pages, tells the story of the women’s suffrage movement in American, which led to the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment (1920), which guaranteed all American women the right to vote. Includes supplemental material: •The Women’s Suffrage Movement in Brief •About Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Susan B. Anthony Sample passage: The Society of Friends, or Quakers, had divided on the slavery question and, as this sect had always recognized equality of rights, their women especially resented the discriminations that were being made. In 1848 during the yearly meeting of the liberal branch in Waterloo, New York, Elizabeth Cady Stanton went over from her home in the neighboring village of Seneca Falls to be with Lucretia Mott at the home of a mutual friend, Mary Ann McClintock. Mrs. Mott’s sister, Martha C. Wright, came from Auburn. The four women talked over the situation and Mrs. Mott and Mrs. Stanton decided to put into effect the resolution they had made in London eight years before to call a convention for a public discussion of the rights of women. So here in the McClintock home on a Sunday morning in June these four issued a “Call” for the first woman’s rights convention in all history and published it, unsigned, in a local paper. They then prepared a declaration of rights modeled after the Declaration of Independence and a set of resolutions that demanded practically every right that women are enjoying at the present day, including suffrage. The convention met in Seneca Falls, July 19–20, in the Wesleyan Methodist Church, and James Mott, of Philadelphia, the husband of Lucretia, and one of the most prominent Friends in the country, presided. As many as the church would hold were present; the declaration and resolutions were discussed and adopted, and here began the movement for woman suffrage, which then continued without cessation. About the author: Ida Husted Harper (1851-1931), an author and journalist, was a prominent figure in the women’s suffrage movement in America. Other works include “The Life and Work of Susan B. Anthony,” “Woman Suffrage Throughout the World,” and “Story of the National Amendment for Woman Suffrage.”

Ida Harper was born on February 18, 1851, in Fairfield, Indiana, United States, the daughter of John Arthur and Cassandra (Stoddard) Husted.
When Ida was about ten years old her parents moved to Muncie, Indiana, where she graduated from the high school. She then entered Indiana University but spent only a year there. She was enrolled as a student at Leland Stanford University in 1893.
During her residence in Terre Haute, Mrs. Harper began her career as a journalist, contributing to the papers of that city and of Indianapolis. For twelve years she conducted a department known as “A Woman’s Opinion” in the Terre Haute Saturday Evening Mail, and for a short time was managing editor of the Terre Haute Daily News. She also wrote political articles for the Indianapolis News. In 1883 she became a contributor to the Fireman’s Magazine, later called the Locomotive Fireman’s Magazine, under the editorship of Eugene V. Debs, and in May 1884 was put in charge of its woman’s department. For a considerable period her home was in New York, where she was for some time a department editor of the Sunday Sun and of Harper’s Bazar, as well as a contributor to New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, and Chicago papers.
Mrs Harper was a sturdy champion of the woman’s suffrage movement and closely associated with its leaders. In 1899 she went to London as a delegate to the International Council of Women, and thereafter attended practically all the European meetings of the Council and of the International Suffrage Alliance. She wrote The Life and Work of Susan B. Anthony at Miss Anthony’s request, the first two volumes, published in 1899, being written in the reformer’s home at Rochester, New York. The third volume appeared in 1908. She also assisted Miss Anthony in preparing the fourth volume (1902) of The History of Woman Suffrage. In 1922 she published two more volumes, bringing the history down to 1920.
Her last days were spent in Washington, where Mrs Harper died from a cerebral hemorrhage at the Homeopathic Hospital. Her body was cremated and the ashes were sent to Muncie, Indiana, for interment.
