AI Summary
This Concurrent Resolution celebrates July 2, 2019, as the 100th anniversary of Iowa's ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, a landmark amendment that granted women the right to vote nationwide. The resolution acknowledges the long and arduous struggle for women's suffrage, spanning 72 years and involving numerous activists and conventions, including the first women's rights convention in Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848, and the significant contributions of figures like Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony, Mary Jane Coggeshall, and Carrie Chapman Catt, an Iowa native who developed a strategic plan for achieving suffrage. It also notes that while Iowa women gained limited voting rights on bond issues in 1894, full enfranchisement came with the Nineteenth Amendment, which was signed into law in 1920 and particularly benefited African American women outside the American South, while also referencing the 55th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 which fully enfranchised African American women in the South. The resolution highlights that generations of women have exercised their right to vote and continue to participate in politics, with women running for office in record numbers, recognizing the legacy of these early suffragists.
