Women's Suffrage: Remastered

Welcome back to the second part of our podcast series on the complex history of women's fight for the vote in America, which goes beyond the commonly-known narrative of white women's suffrage. In part one, we explored how the suffrage movement was part of a thousand-year-long struggle against patriarchy and how women of color were often excluded from the mainstream suffrage movement.

In this episode, we will continue to shed light on the intersectional struggles of women of color in the fight for suffrage. We will examine how racism and overlying patriarchy impacted the tactics and strategies of suffragists of color, such as Sojourner Truth, Ida B. Wells, and Mary Ann Shadd Cary, who fought for suffrage alongside their white counterparts but often faced discrimination and marginalization.

Through meticulous research and nuanced analysis, we will explore the unique challenges faced by women of color in the suffrage movement and how they paved the way for future civil rights struggles. We will also examine the ways in which women of color continued to fight for their right to vote even after the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment.

Don't miss this opportunity to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the history of women's suffrage in America, one that takes into account the struggles and contributions of women of color. Join us as we continue to peel back the layers of history and uncover the truth about the complex fight for suffrage.
