British and American Suffrage Movements
The general sources on women’s rights and women’s
suffrage listed in my introduction for this issue will
be very useful here as will the resources I’ve provided
for other essays such as Judith Wellman’s discussion
of the Seneca Falls Convention. See American Memory’s
site for selections from its massive collection of materials
relating to the National American Woman’s Suffrage
Association and the two suffrage associations that merged
to form “NAWSA”:

The University of Missouri-Kansas City has a good site
on the background of the ratification of the 19th amendment
in 1920:
