During the nineteenth century, women in the United States organized and participated in
a large number of reform movements, including movements to reorganize the prison system,
improve education, ban the sale of alcohol, grant rights to people who were denied them, and,
most importantly, free slaves. Some women saw similarities in the social status of women and
slaves. Women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucy Stone were not only feminists
who fought for the rights of women but also fervent abolitionists who fought to do away with
slavery. These brave people were social leaders who supported the rights of both women and
blacks. They were fighting against a belief that voting should be tied to land ownership, and
because land was owned by men, and in some cases by their widows, only those who held the
greatest stake in government, that is the male landowners, were considered worthy of the vote.
Women did not conform to the requirements.

A number of male abolitionists, including William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips,

also supported the rights of women to speak and to participate equally with men in antislavery
activities. Probably more than any other movement, abolitionism offered women a previously
denied entry into politics. They became involved primarily in order to better their living
conditions and improve the conditions of others. However, they gained the respect of those
they convinced and also earned the right to be considered equal citizens.

When the civil war between the North and the South ended in 1865, the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution adopted in 1868 and 1870 granted citizenship
and suffrage to blacks but not to women. Discouraged but resolved, feminists
worked tirelessly to influence more and more women to demand the right to vote. In 1869, the
Wyoming Territory had yielded to demands by feminists, but the states on the East Coast resisted
more stubbornly than before. A women’s suffrage bill had been presented to every Congress
since 1878, but it continually failed to pass until 1920, when the Nineteenth Amendment granted
women the right to vote

Selama abad kesembilan belas, wanita di Amerika Serikat mengorganisir dan

berpartisipasi dalam sejumlah besar gerakan reformasi, termasuk gerakan untuk mengatur
ulang sistem penjara, meningkatkan pendidikan, melarang penjualan alkohol,
memberikan hak kepada orang-orang yang ditolak, dan, sebagian besar yang terpenting,
budak gratis. Beberapa wanita melihat kesamaan status sosial wanita dan budak. Wanita
seperti Elizabeth Cady Stanton dan Lucy Stone bukan hanya feminis yang
memperjuangkan hak-hak perempuan tetapi juga abolisionis yang gigih yang berjuang
untuk menghapus perbudakan. Orang-orang pemberani ini adalah pemimpin sosial yang
mendukung hak-hak perempuan dan kulit hitam. Mereka melawan keyakinan bahwa
memilih harus dikaitkan dengan kepemilikan tanah, dan karena tanah adalah milik laki-
laki, dan dalam beberapa kasus oleh janda mereka, hanya mereka yang memegang saham
terbesar dalam pemerintahan, yaitu laki-laki pemilik tanah, dianggap layak. dari
pemungutan suara. Wanita tidak memenuhi persyaratan.

Sejumlah laki-laki abolisionis, termasuk William Lloyd Garrison dan Wendell

Phillips, juga mendukung hak perempuan untuk berbicara dan berpartisipasi secara setara
dengan laki-laki dalam kegiatan anti perbudakan. Mungkin lebih dari gerakan lainnya,
abolisionisme menawarkan perempuan yang sebelumnya ditolak masuk ke dalam politik.
Mereka terlibat terutama untuk memperbaiki kondisi kehidupan mereka dan
meningkatkan kondisi orang lain. Namun, mereka mendapatkan rasa hormat dari orang-
orang yang mereka yakini dan juga mendapatkan hak untuk dianggap sebagai warga
negara yang setara.

Ketika perang saudara antara Utara dan Selatan berakhir pada tahun 1865,
Amandemen Keempat Belas dan Kelima Belas Konstitusi yang diadopsi pada tahun 1868
dan 1870 memberikan kewarganegaraan dan hak pilih kepada orang kulit hitam tetapi
tidak untuk wanita. Karena putus asa tetapi tetap teguh, para feminis bekerja tanpa lelah
untuk mempengaruhi lebih banyak wanita agar menuntut hak untuk memilih. Pada tahun
1869, Wilayah Wyoming telah tunduk pada tuntutan para feminis, tetapi negara bagian di
 Pantai Timur menolak lebih keras dari sebelumnya. RUU hak pilih perempuan telah
diajukan ke setiap Kongres sejak 1878, tetapi terus gagal disahkan sampai 1920, ketika
Amandemen Kesembilan Belas memberi perempuan hak untuk memilih.
