User:Ryan (Wiki Ed)/Nineteenth Amendment sources
Page purpose[edit]
This page is for participants in the Wiki Education "Writing for Women's Suffrage" Advanced Wikipedia course. Between May 6-31, we will be collaboratively working to apply Good Article criteria to the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution article.
This page is for collecting and, optionally, annotating citations.
Feel free to create new sections or subsections, and reorganize as you see fit. For maximum usefulness, you may want to annotate sources as you add them, but that is by no means required. If you need access to a source, ask in Slack. If our group doesn't have access, you might want to ask at the Resource Exchange.
See also this other page for planning, coordination, and notes not directly tied to particular sources: User:Ryan (Wiki Ed)/Nineteenth Amendment planning.

Yellow "I voted" badge/ribbon - 1920. "Under the 19th Amendment I cast my first vote". Love the color when so much of that time period was B/W and it touches on the yellow color theme of pro-sufferage, right?
Presidential Campaign Advertisement, 1920 - woman-centric ad, for the immediate effect section: http://collections.si.edu/search/detail/edanmdm:nmah_540782?q=record_ID%3Anmah_540782&record=1&hlterm=record_ID%3Anmah_540782
This ad is perhaps a more obvious (visually) aim for female votes (also Presidential Campaign Advertisement, 1920)
Political cartoon after Tennessee - Uncle Sam celebrates ratification of 19th with his Lady Suffrage ("Equals now Ma") https://cdm15138.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p15138coll27/id/31
Different option for political cartoon - the Lady sits safely atop the Constitution while an anti-suffragist rat shakes its fist. https://cdm15138.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p15138coll27/id/0
"Religious leader and civil rights activist Nannie Helen Burroughs and eight other African-American women gather for the Banner State Woman's National Baptiste Convention in 1915. (Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division Washington, D.C. 20540 USA)". Part of the 2019 "Votes for Women: A Portrait of Persistence" exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/how-women-got-vote-far-more-complex-story-history-textbooks-reveal-180971869/#461ZQY33TkEoTirR.99.

Note that the Portrait Gallery exhibition provides more detail as to year and purpose. Also note the exhibition includes portraits of 19 African-American suffragists.
Petition to Congress, 1871, Document image, National Archives. "On the year following the ratification of the 15th amendment, a voting rights petition sent to the Senate and House of Representatives requested that suffrage rights be extended to women and that women be granted the privilege of being heard on the floor of Congress. It was signed by Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and other suffragists." https://www.archives.gov/education/lessons/woman-suffrage/petition-to-congress
