Fun Fact: On March 23rd, 1910, revolutionary activist and suffragette Alice Paul organized the first-ever suffrage parade in Washington, D.C. Her courage and determination continue to inspire women around the world! 🗳️💪 Meanwhile, I'm amplifying her legacy by raising my voice for equality and empowerment.

Vintage letterpress cuts and ornaments from the Springtide Press collection formed elements in a pattern created by @drawntheroad for the exhibit “Votes for Women: 100 Years & Counting”. (Like women’s suffrage, there have been delays and obstacles, but we keep working!) We’ll share more details as @deadfeminists and @washingtonhistory discuss the exhibition tomorrow. The event will be broadcast on Facebook Live. You'll find it on the Videos tab of the Washington State History Museum page, once it goes live at 7 pm PST. (Please note, the video won't appear in their list of videos until the event actually starts, so you may have to refresh the page to see it, if you get there first!) #suffragecentennial #suffrage100wa #womensequalityday https://www.instagram.com/p/CEVsO3YB_7r/?igshid=5j3hson8j4bh

Meet Dorothy Jinarajadasa. That’s her in the middle. Born in 19 March 1881 as Dorothy M. Graham to an Irish family in Kensington, she grew up to be be feminist, a suffragette, and a theosophist. In November 1916, she married Sinhalese theosophist and freemason Curuppumullage Jinarajadasa, who finished his studies at Cambridge and was a close disciple of Charles Webster Leadbeater, the famous theosophist. Jiddu Krishnamurti and Bhagawan Nityananda attended the wedding. The couple moved back to India. Mr. Jinarajadasa took up the work of spreading theosophy and freemasonry in the Americas, as well as India. Ms. Jinarajadasa founded Women’s Indian Association (WIA) in Adyar, Chennai on 8 May 1917 together with Annie Besant, Margret Cousins, Malati Patwardhan, Ammu Swaminathan, and others to improve the lot of Indian women. Members of Tamil Madar Sangam (Tamil Ladies Organisation) joined en masse. Ms. Jinarajadasa’s hard work was paid well as in the next five years WIA grew to 43 branches, 20 centres and 2,300 members across India. Women’s leaders like Kanubehn C Mehta of Surat joined WIA on their own initiative. One of the top issues for WIA was women’s suffrage. Ms. Jinarajadasa started to advocate Edwin Montagu, a Jewish radical liberal in the British Cabinet, serving as Secretary of State for India, from her first year of work. She had formidable support from Indian National Congress (INC) leaders like Sarojini Naidu, who led a women’s delegation to advocate women’s franchise with Montagu in 1917, and Saraladevi Chaudhurani, who presented the resolution for women’s franchise in Delhi Congress in 1918. Dame Millicent Fawcett, a leader of the English suffragette movement also pitched in from her end. #suffrage #suffragette #thamendment #vote #womenshistory #votesforwomen #suffragist #womensrights #womenssuffrage #votingrights #suffragecentennial #herstory #history #womensvote #suffragettes #feminism #americanhistory #equality #womenshistorymonth #that #years #women #alicepaul #suffragemovement #womenvote #susanbanthony #feminist #centennial #suffragettecity #fuckpatriarchy (at New Delhi, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFTmEW-pje5/?igshid=bbmsxp5utygt

This week we celebrate #100years of female #suffrage in the #US and the #ratification of the #19thAmendment to the #USConstitution, as well as the end of the long struggle against sexism that required immense dedication and suffering to overcome. In January 2020, my wife and I were the first official visitors at the public re-opening of the Lucy Burns Suffragette Museum (see link in bio) at the Lorton Workhouse, the site where silent protestors outside the White House were taken to be imprisoned and tortured in a misguided attempt to break their spirit. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This photo incorporates a replica of a door from the old cells where the women were held and each image flips to tell the story of an individual women who was imprisoned at Lorton during the struggle for female suffrage. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #suffragette #suffrage #SuffrageCentennial #RightToVote #LortonWorkhouse #LucyBurnsMuseum #SufferinTilSuffrage ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #photooftheday #photography #instagood #canonphotography #canon_photos #eos #canonusa #canon #canoneosr #dc #visitdc #dctography #igdc #dccool (at Lorton, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEEY890jouH/?igshid=10o9w4r1puhy1

“Give me a place to stand, and a printing press big enough, and I will move the world!”

The quote is fictitious, but these woman suffrage periodicals weren’t kidding! The movement produced a great many newsletters, newspapers, and journals that rallied supporters and spread the news. Take a look at what these suffragists believed a thinking citizen should know. VCU Libraries’ Social Welfare History Image Portal suffrage periodicals.

September 19, 1893 is a day of note, on this date New Zealand, off the southeast coast of Australia, became the first self-governing country to grant women the right to vote. In the United States back in 1869, the Territory of Wyoming did grant women in the territory the right to vote. In the Isle of Man, off the coast between Ireland and the United Kingdom, in 1889, they enfranchised women property owners which was a step for women’s suffrage. In the South Pacific in 1889, the self-governing colony of Franceville (later to become Port Vila), declared universal rights for all people, male and female. So this was a major step for New Zealand, a populated nation of about a total of 800,000 people granting women the right to vote. True, they couldn’t run for an elected office, but that was quickly amended.women-protest It would not be until about 1920 (26 years after New Zealand) before women in the United States and Great Britain would be able to register to vote.An interesting project would be to see when any of your female ancestors who were over the age of 21 in 1920 registered to vote in their hometown. If an ancestor lived in the western states, many of them had already granted women the right to vote before 1920. Many of the supervisors of elections in local counties and towns will have those registration records. Contact the supervisor in your family’s hometown and see what is available. Provide them with the full names for any female ancestors, their birth date and where they lived in the county. Some of those early registrations can have a good deal of information on an individual. #suffrage #suffragette #thamendment #vote #womenshistory #votesforwomen #suffragist #womensrights #womenssuffrage #votingrights #suffragecentennial #herstory #history #womensvote #suffragettes #feminism #americanhistory #equality #womenshistorymonth #that #years #women #alicepaul #suffragemovement #womenvote #susanbanthony #feminist #centennial #suffragettecity #fuckpatriarchy (at Newzealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFTl8yhpX95/?igshid=15acv9n2nljg9
