Using these pages in history lessons
These illustrations provide a visual way to teach students about the Nineteenth Amendment. You can use the portraits of movement leaders alongside biographies of figures like Ida B. Wells and Alice Paul to discuss their different approaches to activism.
The pages work well for Women's History Month activities, helping learners understand the decades of organizing, petitioning, and marching required to secure the right to vote.
Authentic colors for suffrage symbols
When coloring the historic badges and ribbons, you can encourage students to use the authentic colors of the American suffrage movement. The National Woman's Party famously adopted three specific hues for their campaign materials.
- Purple represented loyalty and steadfastness to the cause.
- White stood for purity and the quality of their purpose.
- Gold paid tribute to the early Kansas suffrage campaigns.
Details in the line art
The drawings include accurate historical details, from the high-collared clothing styles of the early 1900s to the specific text on the protest banners. Older students can focus on shading the intricate rosette ribbons and the ceremonial sashes worn during the large-scale public demonstrations.
The scenes of women casting the first ballots show the practical result of these protests, depicting early wooden ballot boxes and traditional polling stations where citizens exercised their new constitutional rights.
Connecting to broader civil rights
The fight for voting rights intersected with other major social movements. Figures like Sojourner Truth bridge the gap between abolition and women's rights, making these pages useful for Black History Month as well. Discussing the diverse coalition of activists helps provide a complete picture of American history.
