My Grandmother marched in New York for women’s right to vote. I was supportive of women’s rights in the 60’s and 70’s specifically, the right to contraception, banking, divorce, loans, credit, and specifically abortion and the right to make decisions about my body. The right to make decisions without a man’s permission.
My mom was an ardent supporter of women’s rights in the 60’s and 70’s. She was very active in Marches and civil disobedience. She stopped in the early 80’s when the FBI visited my dad at his work and threatened to pull his clearance to supervise heavy construction work in Washington DC around federal buildings, effectively ending his civilian job. My mom was never violent nor did she ever make violent threats. My mom had 4 children by age 23 and was warned a 5th child would kill her, it was 1964. She asked to get her tubes tied. The answer was no because state law in Maryland forbade sterilization unless the woman had 5 children and was 35. Dad asked to have a vasectomy, he was refused because he had to have 5 children and be 30. Dad was 26. My dad had a black market (illegal) vasectomy that cost the equivalent of $6,000 in today’s money. A vasectomy today costs about $300. After hours, he went to the back door of the drs office and with just the dr and dad in the office, he got his vasectomy.
@@kenyonbissett3512Good for your mom, and good for your dad for making that effort to protect his wife. I’m so glad things have changed, and I was able to get a tubal ligation when I was 30 without already having children, and in the first year of my marriage. I still hear stories from women who’s doctors won’t agree to it because their husband may decide he wants children, or any of their other lame excuses. And I have never, not once, regretted my decision to have a tubal. In fact, I remember to be grateful each and every day that I made that decision and that I was able to get one.
My grandmother, born in the US, was furious when she found out she wasn't allowed to vote because she was married to a Scotch-Irish immigrant. Up until then, my grandfather didn't see the need to become a citizen, but he caught hell for it. Eventually, which came first I don't recall, Pop-pop got his citizenship and the laws changed so Nanny could vote. Until then it was not a happy household.
There were 3-4 changes to the law in that period but you are the first person I've "met" who has first hand knowledge. Due to coverture, US born American women lost their citizenship if they married a non citizen-Later, if the foreign born spouse naturalized, the US born woman had to also become a naturalized citizen. Then they tweaked it again where they just restored her citizenship and depending on the nationality of the non citizen husband determined whether she lost her citizenship or not. That went all the way up to the Magnusen Act of 1943 which allowed Chinese born immigrants to naturalize and finally, US born wives stopped losing their citizenship.
I'm a white Canadian woman and am enjoying your YT and podcast series so much. While our history has taken different shapes, the colonizing of North America, and the ensuing, similarly shaped policies, around gender and ethnicity are remarkably similar. Women here only got the vote in the late 19teens and Indigenous folks didn't get the vote until 1960. This is really great, thoughtful content, that has me asking questions about my own history. Thanks.

I have really been enjoying your videos. They are so informative. I hope people in the educational system show them to their students, so they can realize the truth of our history.
I was a black child who integrated white schools in Arkansas. Despite what my history book told me, I answered 1965 on a test, and my answer was marked wrong. I asked my mother how the white women forgot. The CRM had just happened. My mother understood the question because she was part of the CRM, but I have to explain my question for most white people to understand it. Liberal white women (and men) came from the North to the South during Freedom Summer, which was a massive voter registration drive in the South. Why did the "masses" of liberal white women (this too was part of whitewashed history) who participated in Freedom Summer, who said they cared about racial equality, not rise up and correct this bit of whitewashed history? This is not a rhetorical question. Please leave your comments below.
I was in school at that time in Chattanooga. There was very little news available to me about integration and rights that was not national news. I knew there was cruelty and abuse by whites against people of color. It hurt knowing that people were so mean to fellow humans. But, I was 15.
Because the having right to vote is different than voter suppression. Did Shelby v Holder remove the right to vote or allow increased voter suppression? A possible reason that "the masses of liberal white women" don't correct your alleged "whitewashed" history is that your version is blackwashed history. In many northern states, Black men were voting since the 1780s. Vermont entered the union with universal male suffrage. In the 1840s, a Black man was a candidate for Governor in Massachusetts. In fact, in many of the secession resolutions in March-April 1861 (after the Virginia called Peace Conference that February), a grievance was "They have degraded American citizens by placing them upon an equality with negroes at the ballot-box." Perhaps the "masses of liberal white women arent' correcting your "whitewashed" history because they don't choose to blackwash history
Then I'm sure you also know that Black women started the suffrage movement. White women joined, took over, then threw Black women under the bus so that yt women could get the right to vote.

The Equal Rights Amendment was introduced to Congress in 1924 and passed the Senate in 1972. In 2018, the required number of states needed signed the ERA. In 2019, Congress passed the bill to remove the 1981 deadline from the ERA preamble. The Republican controlled Senate refused to vote on the bill. It's been 100 years since the ERA was introduced, and it is not ratified. Women in 2024 are still 2nd class citizens.
You got to remember indigenous and Hispanics weren't even considered to be Americans even if they were born and raised here for hundreds of years up until the 1980's. Literally look at the movie born in East LA was there to address in the 70s and 80s how Hispanics are being forced out of the country that they were born in which is the United States and to go live in Mexico which they have never lived in
It was not too long ago I think it was a few days after President Biden made his announcement that he would not be running for a second term when the news was about all the people who had been eligible to vote started registering to vote that I saw a disturbing video on a TH-cam news channel. I don’t remember which news channel it was as I am a huge news junky and subscribe to many different English language news channels around the world. I learned from this particular video that there is a group here in the USA and their sole purpose is to try to get people who they believe will vote differently than they would vote removed as legal registered voters. I do recall that the video was in one county in Texas. The government office that is responsible for keeping track of voting registration and everything else that goes along with voting etc were being swamped by letters demanding that they deny certain people who are identified by name and address the right to vote. I don’t recall if the video gave any number ratios or if I just forgot it but I will say that for every single new voter registration form they received they received dozens if not hundreds of angry letters demanding that certain people be removed from the list of eligible voters and be denied the right to vote. We must do everything that is legally possible to ensure that every American citizen who is eligible to vote has the right to vote if that is their choice.
Question: you said Asian women couldn’t vote bc of the Chinese Exclusion Act. Do you mean that all Asian-American women were restricted from voting - no matter their heritage (thus whether or not they were Chinese)?
I think its slightly reductive to say that losing the right to vote leaves one powerless to change the system. All these women were sucesssful in changing the system through means other than voting and it is harmful to reduce our ability to enact change to our ability to vote.
You have the right,so use it!! We dishonor our ancestors who fought for us to vote. Yes you can sort of change the system but ultimately real change comes from having access and representation iin the system. You all have fantasies of some egalitarian government or no government at all. There will always be some sort of governing system even if it is a family clan, tribe, or gang where one may have no say in their existence.
14:54 Sorry to bring this up, but that is precisely NOT the case. Thanks to the Electoral College and the lack of a Proportional Representation, with the winner takes all approach for state electors, and the single representative per district with First past The Post, that is actually not true at all. Not all votes weight equally. Which is a fundamental flaw in the USA implementation of representative democracy. And sadly, while many Americans know about the EC, they barely see a problem with the representation in Congress.
So do not use Washington and Washington DC interchangeably cuz Washington DC is a completely different place than Washington State. This is why people should just call it DC and leave the Washington alone cuz there's only one Washington in the US. And there's only one DC in the US
From the land of the Wurundjeri first nation people of Kulin culture near Naarm (Port Phillip Bay) In Australia, women got the right to vote shortly after federation in 1901, in 1902, 2nd nation after New Zealand, theirs in 1893. We failed the indigenous first nation folk though, who got the vote by referendum (constitution amendment) national vote in 1967. A long, long time after some had given their lives in 2 world wars and after the nation was stolen from them as if they did not exist at all in 1770. Shame on us.
Indigenous and Hispanic woman took a lot longer to get their rights to vote. How black people were able to vote before native Americans and Hispanics. Aka the original people
The British traitor's put it in the Constipation, that all men are created equal. John Adam's wife Abigale told her husband John Adam's, don't forget the lady's. 😢
I love how you leave the biggest native population out of this which are called Hispanics that have been here longer than Asians blacks and white people
The constitution specifically mentions "Indians not taxed". The simply lived outside the legal framework of the United States in rights and responsibilities. In anyway this all seems to be race related stuff that is not related to sex. Yes many people were unfairly denied their rights but it was nit a se issue.
With such an attractive woman narrating ... it was difficult for me to concentrate on the message. I was supposed to be reading the subtitles but I couldn't because I couldn't take my eyes off of her.
Maybe you're just not listening well enough I'm a 72 year old white woman and I marched for black rights but I also marched for women's rights. Most Americans are not even aware that black men got the right to vote before white women did
100. Read this continents history and stop waiting for someone to brief you on it. This woman speaks all I have read w my ancestors from this continent.
@@RevCelesteYes, but then reconstruction came along and brought his friend Jim Crow. AND that legal right was overcome by white men in hoods carrying torches and guns daring any black man to risk his life, home, and family to attempt to vote. In other places they instituted poll taxes and literacy tests in place of violent intimidation. They had the same effect though.
All male citizens have a right to vote regardless of race. A woman's vote is redundant since the man is the head and representative of the entire family.
Review the countries you 'came from' , many women had those rights long ago. How did women earn the voting right in usa? They worked hard, were attacked, thrown in jails, water cannoned and more. The English women were fighting for their rights before the american women were allowed to try. They all succeeded. Males are one part of society and sadly, many were half-inebriated. The Europeans did not have good drinking water, they had to use ale/beer to even survive. Its a good thing men like George Washington were not 'inebriated'. Research the history, men did not have rights and the Bill of Rights began when? In which country?

AMERICAN womem's sufferage. Much of thw world thinks 1920 was pretty bluddy late. Oh yes, America 'the land of the free' 🙄
It's really sad to realize that many womens don't know the history of courageous intelligent womens in their own country.
Well, you can't lose something you never had.
Indigenous and Hispanic woman took a lot longer to get their rights to vote. How black people were able to vote before native Americans and Hispanics. Aka the original people
The British traitor's put it in the Constipation, that all men are created equal. John Adam's wife Abigale told her husband John Adam's, don't forget the lady's. 😢
How many women were in the World War 1 trenches fighting for their voting rights?
I love how you leave the biggest native population out of this which are called Hispanics that have been here longer than Asians blacks and white people
women cant vote in 2024, what are you talking about...
The constitution specifically mentions "Indians not taxed". The simply lived outside the legal framework of the United States in rights and responsibilities.
In anyway this all seems to be race related stuff that is not related to sex. Yes many people were unfairly denied their rights but it was nit a se issue.
We'd have to be cookie cutter to have equality with programmed brain's and all the same color and all the same everything.
Ew, Scotch Irish, what a temper they must have. Their bad enough seperately.
There was very little Asian people in the US.
With such an attractive woman narrating ...
it was difficult for me to concentrate on the message.
I was supposed to be reading the subtitles
but I couldn't because I couldn't take my eyes off of her.
Honestly, I never hear anything but black right's, all else is ignored or drowned out by call's of racism.
Maybe you're just not listening well enough I'm a 72 year old white woman and I marched for black rights but I also marched for women's rights. Most Americans are not even aware that black men got the right to vote before white women did
100. Read this continents history and stop waiting for someone to brief you on it. This woman speaks all I have read w my ancestors from this continent.
@@RevCelesteYes, but then reconstruction came along and brought his friend Jim Crow. AND that legal right was overcome by white men in hoods carrying torches and guns daring any black man to risk his life, home, and family to attempt to vote. In other places they instituted poll taxes and literacy tests in place of violent intimidation. They had the same effect though.
Men should have never given women the right to vote.
All male citizens have a right to vote regardless of race. A woman's vote is redundant since the man is the head and representative of the entire family.
Review the countries you 'came from' , many women had those rights long ago. How did women earn the voting right in usa? They worked hard, were attacked, thrown in jails, water cannoned and more. The English women were fighting for their rights before the american women were allowed to try. They all succeeded. Males are one part of society and sadly, many were half-inebriated. The Europeans did not have good drinking water, they had to use ale/beer to even survive. Its a good thing men like George Washington were not 'inebriated'. Research the history, men did not have rights and the Bill of Rights began when? In which country?
@@SinkpehnaRossFire-uc4ov Men should have never given women the right to vote anywhere in the world
Aw, look, an INCEL checking in, how quaint.
