The TVC Nightly News discusses the women's suffrage movement, which fought for women's voting rights and equality. Before the movement, women had no say in society, couldn't vote, had no property rights, and were paid less than men. Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton played a big role in advancing women's rights through speeches, conferences, and organizing campaigns. They faced obstacles but their sacrifices were worth it for future generations. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the TVC Nightly News. The 19th Amendment by the Constitution has just been ratified. We are now going to discuss the pivotal movement that has changed history for the better, the women's suffrage movement, aiming to secure women's voting rights, legal rights, and much more. This movement symbolizes the new beginnings of gender identity. Suffragists fairly question the norms of society, seeking the right to vote, and changing ideas about what it meant to be a woman. In addition to giving women political power, their victory in gaining the right to vote is sparking larger impacts on society and motivating upcoming generations to pursue equality in all facets of life. Before all of this, women never had it easy. They still don't, to be honest. They had no say in anything, they obviously could not vote, which doesn't make sense because they make up half of the population. They had no property rights, and when women did work, they were given fractions of what men earned. Their husbands had legal power over them. These women could be getting beat and the law would not care. Isn't that ridiculous? This system had women fully dependent on men. Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton's collaboration and push for more women's rights played a very big role in advancing their rights. Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton co-founded the National Women's Suffrage Association in July 1848. They approached actions with a strategic approach. They made lots of trips across the country, giving speeches, setting up conferences, and motivating people in support of women's suffrage. Also, they worked with other related campaigns and suffrage organizations. Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and so many other women had sacrificed so much and overcame many obstacles like hostility and mockery just for a chance at having the right to vote. All the sacrifice is worth it for the future because sadly, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton aren't here with us anymore. They opened so many doors for women and will forever be remembered by women in the future.
