The women's suffrage leaders left out black women.

pushed this dangerous message: “I do not want to see a negro man walk to the polls and vote on who should handle my tax money, while I myself cannot vote at all,” she said.

said, “The enfranchisement of women would insure immediate and durable white supremacy, honestly attained, for upon unquestioned authority it is stated that in every southern State but one there are more educated women than all the illiterate voters, white and black, native and foreign, combined. As you probably know, of all the women in the South who can read and write, ten out of every eleven are white.

emilysears What is a women

Teen Vogue, you keep bringing history to light. I am constantly impressed.

great work on your work nice job good job keep what u love

This really sums up white feminism pretty neatly.

suffragettes were trying to work in tandem to advance minority rights and women’s rights, but realized that they could not help minority voters before they empowered themselves. this is pretty readily available information

CarlaRK3 Sanger was also an eugenicist.

Susan B. Anthony was a Quaker & an Abolitionist! Shame on you lying to your readers.

While historical context matters, this clearly demonstrates how insidious racism and white supremacy are. Even those fighting for equality couldn't recognize their oppression of others. You can see it happening even right now . . . 😕

Actually Susan B Anthony was a serious abolitionist. She fought for voting rights & full citizenship for black people and for women. Women’s suffrage was put on the chopping block. She thought the 15th amendment should include race and sex, or we’d have a male aristocracy.

Anyway, this is a case of statues I'd be willing to debate. Do we leave up statues of SBA because of the good she did despite stuff like the above? Very different from fairly recent crummy statues put up by the Daughters of the Confederacy.

DailyJulianne I did know that suffragists weren't sure they wanted Sojourner Truth speaking at their meetings. Then she gave her most famous speech and they changed their minds!

After some really solid and ground-breaking reporting, you now seem to be riding the woke wave, but to what end? Akin to digging up age old Tweets to stoke division and cancellation, I’m just curious as to what this “report” really accomplishes?

Whoa!!! I had no idea she was cool!!! 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

Keep enticing violence amount the humans in our country and our Nation will be in ruins!
