Because the Suffrage Movement was one of
several reform movements begun in the 1800s, it is important to understand how
the movements intertwined. This timeline lists information on movements such
as labor reform, dress reform, abolition (anti-slavery), and temperance.
Whenever possible and practical, hot links have been
inserted that will lead you to additional information elsewhere on the
Internet.
You may use the timelines to:
- Understand what occurred before the Suffrage Movement
began.
- Discover how much occurred in our history before
women were granted the right to vote.
- Draw relationships between the Suffrage Movement and
political events in the United States.
- Begin to understand the relationship between the
various reform movements.
