19th Amendment – Women’s Suffrage

I can't believe that we still can't vote even after the amendment was presented to congress in 1878. I just can't wait. Susan said.

At least you have some men fighting for the 19th amendment with you, like me. replied Kermit .

Well, I guess Susan began that's good. I just wish that all the states would ratify the 19th Amendment already.

Well you always can't get what you want, you know. Many American women were resisting the notion because they think the classic woman is pious, and submissive wife and mother concerned with only home and family. Beatrix said

How could you not want to be able to vote? You should be able to have your own opinion on who should be elected. Susan said angrily.

You should be glad that the person to first introduce the 19th Amendment was a man. That might have been because the women were afraid of getting sent to jail for giving the idea to Congress. Kermit replied

I just wished that we didn't have do to do this because it's so unfair because most of the men don't want us women to vote so they could control the votes and who gets elected. Susan declared.

What are you going to do about it instead of sitting on your bottom and talking about it? Beatrix replied with anger.

I'm going to go out there and protest with all those women

Are you still going to do it now? Beatrix and Kermit said in sync questioning her.

Yes of course I am! Susan yelled confidently.

Did you not just see that woman get beat and tortured? Beatrix replied confused.

Who got beat and tortured? Susan also said confused.

You were staring out the window when it happened, all of the women that were protesting just a few minutes ago, surely you must be blind Beatrix said.

Really! Susan started, I didn't know they could do that, I thought that was illegal. Susan said surprised.

Well you thought wrong. Beatrix said with a smirk on her face.

Well looks like I'm not doing that anymore because I don't want to die. Susan said disappointed.

We should probably talk about something else like, how the U.S senate defeated the women's suffrage amendment this year, but then the U.S house passed the suffrage amendment this year also. Beatrix said.

Well that's nice, I guess. Kermit replied.

Yes, yes it is because soon it will be ratified but probably not this year because Tennessee is the last decision . Wait no it's not because I want to vote this year the election is coming up soon. Why can't Tennessee just hurry up already. Susan said

Well it's not like they're going to, even if Tennessee does make a decision this year. Beatrix said.

Why not? Kermit said confused.

Well they might want to have as much time to have women that can't vote or it just takes a long time to ratify an amendment. Beatrix said.

Well I have to go. Beatrix said.

Do you really though? Susan questioned.

Yes I really do, I have to go home and cook some food because I'm hungry. Beatrix said.

Well I also have to go to. said Kermit.

Don't you live here Kermit? Susan replied

Oh yeah, I forgot. Kermit said.

Well I have to go now or else I will get super hungry on the way back. Beatrix said.

Well goodbye. Kermit said.

Goodbye. Susan cried as Beatrix left.

I'll come back tomorrow. Beatrix said as she left.
