AI Summary
This Resolution celebrates July 2, 2019, as the 100th anniversary of Iowa's ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, a pivotal moment that granted women the right to vote nationwide. The resolution acknowledges the long and arduous struggle for women's suffrage, beginning with the first women's rights convention in Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848, and highlights the contributions of key figures like Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony, Mary Jane Coggeshall, and Carrie Chapman Catt, an Iowa native who developed a strategic plan to achieve this goal. It also notes that while Iowa women gained limited voting rights on bond issues in 1894, the Nineteenth Amendment, which was passed by the U.S. Senate in 1919 and signed into law in 1920, finally secured their right to vote for candidates, a right that also extended to African American women outside the American South, with full enfranchisement for African American women in the South being achieved later with the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The resolution recognizes that for nearly a century, women have exercised their right to vote and are now running for office in record numbers, honoring the legacy of the suffragists who fought for this fundamental democratic right.
