A Timeline of Women's Contributions to American Political History

The contributions that women have made to the history of this nation are rarely acknowledged.  Most of the children in the country grow up not knowing that women were at the forefront of the anti-slavery, civil right, social reform, suffrage, and gay rights movements.  They stood up for others, but few have stood up for them.  

The first women's movement began around 1848 at Seneca Falls, New York, when Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott and others formed organizations to fight for votes for women.  The movement came to fruition in 1919 when the 19th Amendment became part of the Constitution.

The second women's movement began in the late 1960's and 70's with women's liberation.  Its focus was to attain equal rights and equal pay for women, and should have come to fruition in the early 1980's with the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment, but unfortunately, it did not occur.

TrueMeckDem on Myers Park Pat

"My opinion of Pat has changed over the years. I used to think he was truly a man of the people but the longer he has been mayor, the less I think of him.

As with most cities, Charlotte has three political parties: Dem, Rep, and Chamber of Commerce. Pat is definitely the puppet of the COC here. What is good for business is good for Charlotte and Pat ... very personable guy, he has gotten a bunch of Dems in these parts to vote for him but I don't trust him."
