Both the women’s suffrage and civil rights movements spanned decades and involved thousands. Why do you think so many Americans joined these movements? What do you think the right to vote meant to them?

Answer: Because women wanted to be equal to men.

Explanation: Back then the women didn't work it was always the men. America viewed men as better than women, men could vote but women couldn't. Women were just taking care of the house, doing errands, cooking, teaching all that stuff while men worked. The men felt like they were considered ''better'' than the women, but they were wrong. God created us all equally, if we weren't all equal, God wouldn't have created Eve for Adam but he did. No man can function properly or provide for himself without a woman there to help him. I just think the right to vote meant that the people could choose whoever was running for president to ''rule'' over them. Voting is just giving people the chance to choose whoever they feel would make America a better country and not just get in office and not fix any economical issues around the world or donate to the poor or even help fundraise anything.
