A project of The National Collaborative for Women’s History Sites, The National Votes for Women Trail is collecting sites from all over our country to allow us to tell the untold story of suffrage for all women, of all ethnicities, that extends well past the passage of the 19th amendment. We currently have 44 State Coordinators and over 2000 sites on our database, which continues to grow at a rapid pace. Our partner, The William G. Pomeroy Foundation, is complementing our efforts with the donation of 250 historic roadside markers nationally.

Alabama | Selma | Amelia Boynton Robinson, Martin Luther King Jr., Cheyenne Webb, Betty Anderson | March 7-24, 1965 | Edmund Pettus Bridge | On March 7, 1965, a group of protestors set out to march from Selma to Montgomery in Alabama to demand voting rights. As they crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, state troopers attacked them with gas and clubs. Photographs of the violent attack made national and international news and brought attention to the voting-rights movement. Marchers gathered again on March 9, 1965, but turned around on the bridge and the third attempt from March 21 to 24 was finally successful. | Edmund Pettus Bridge, U.S. Route 80, Selma, AL | View Map |

In September 1915 a young Congressional Union (CU) organizer named Ella C. St. Clair Thompson was staying there while she tried to get up a delegation of suffragists to US Representative Carl Hayden, a Democrat. She had a lot of difficulty making this happen because Arizona women, especially, were bitter that the CU had campaigned in Arizona in 1914 against the Democrats running for re-election. This was part of the CU's controversial policy of holding the political party in power accountable for failing to pass the national woman suffrage amendment. While the popular Hayden won re-election, many of his supporters were bitter that the CU had campaigned against him and refused to cooperate with forming a delegation to go and lobby him on behalf of the federal amendment. The campaigns against the Democrats took place in 1914 and 1916, but in 1915 the CU sent organizers into the field to organize deputations to elected officials in order to keep pressure on them. In her weekly report to the CU Thompson wrote, in part, "I cannot report a thing this week. I am working like a dog with mighty little result....This is Hayden's home and he is very bitter..."

From the start of the PPIE the CU encouraged visitors to sign their petition demanding an amendment to the United States Constitution, and by September had collected an estimated 500,000 signatures. On September 14-16, 1915, the CU held what they termed was the first ever, in the history of the world, Woman Voters Convention. The Convention brought together representatives from the 4 million women who had already obtained the vote through state action. Its purpose was to unite them in support of the so-called Susan B. Anthony federal amendment, and to launch four women, the "suffrage envoys," on a rugged, 10-week dash by automobile across the country to Washington DC. Their job was to bring the petition and the 500,000 signatures to Congress and President Woodrow Wilson, arriving on the opening day of Congress. Alice Paul was the chairman of the Congressional Union. Doris Stevens was one of her primary organizers, and had charge of the booth. Mrs. Alva (O.H.P.) Belmont was a wealthy benefactor of the CU and served as the National Chairman for the Woman Voters Convention. The three suffrage envoys who made the cross-country trip were Sara Bard Field, Maria Kindberg, and Ingeborg Kindstedt. A fourth, Frances Joliffe, left the trip in Sacramento and rejoined it in New York. | View Map | |

Mackrille was known in some circles as "the woman orator of the West." Among other duties, Mackrille was often asked to organize events for suffrage activists coming through Sacramento. For example, on September 22, 1915 CU Chairman Alice Paul wrote to ask her if she would arrange a meeting for the suffrage envoys coming through Sacramento on their way to Washington DC from the Woman Voters Convention held earlier that month at the Panama-Pacific International Exhibition. Paul specifically asked Mackrille to try to ensure that US Representative Curry was present at the event, and that she also use the occasion to organize a deputation to him. A "deputation" was a formal meeting with a politician or other influential leader attended by several prominent women. They were designed to learn about politicians' views on the federal suffrage amendment and bring pressure to bear on them to continue their support or (if they opposed it) to change their votes. | 1512 15th Street | View Map |

California | Sacramento | Ida Finney Mackrille, Alice Paul | September 22, 1915 | Home of Mrs. Ida Finney Mackrille, suffrage leader | This was the home of Mrs. Ida Finney Mackrille, who was a leader in the California branch of the Congressional Union (CU), and served on its National Advisory Council. Mackrille was known in some circles as "the woman orator of the West." Among other duties, Mackrille was often asked to organize events for suffrage activists coming through Sacramento. For example, on September 22, 1915 CU Chairman Alice Paul wrote to ask her if she would arrange a meeting for the suffrage envoys coming through Sacramento on their way to Washington DC from the Woman Voters Convention held earlier that month at the Panama-Pacific International Exhibition. Paul specifically asked Mackrille to try to ensure that US Representative Curry was present at the event, and that she also use the occasion to organize a deputation to him. A "deputation" was a formal meeting with a politician or other influential leader attended by several prominent women. They were designed to learn about politicians' views on the federal suffrage amendment and bring pressure to bear on them to continue their support or (if they opposed it) to change their votes. | 1512 15th Street | View Map |

In January 1917, the National Woman’s Party began an unprecedented campaign of picketing outside the White House. The protests infuriated Wilson and much of the public. The police began to arrest and charge protesters with “obstructing traffic.” But the suffragists refused to pay their fines. They pointed out that the First Amendment guaranteed their right to free assembly. Instead, judges began to sentence suffragists to jail [at the Occoquan Workhouse]. The 33 women brought to Occoquan on the night of November 14 also demanded to be treated as political prisoners. Instead, prison superintendent William H. Whittaker called on his guards to teach the women a lesson. Bursting into the room where the women were waiting to be booked, the guards dragged them down the hall and threw them into dark, filthy cells. Burns had her hands shackled to the top of a cell, forcing her to stand all night; the guards also threatened her with a straitjacket and a buckle gag. Day (the future founder of the Catholic Worker Movement) was slammed down on the arm of an iron bench twice. Dora Lewis lost consciousness after her head was smashed into an iron bed; Alice Cosu, seeing Lewis’ assault, suffered a heart attack, and didn’t get medical attention until the following morning.

Flanked by suffragists Susan B. Anthony and Isabella Beecher Hooker, Woodhull declared before the committee that the 14th and 15th Amendments implicitly granted women the right to vote. | ||

Wealthy, forthright, and persuasive, she spent several months in the capital city agitating for woman suffrage, and convinced the Judiciary Committee's Benjamin Butler—a high-ranking, Massachusetts Republican who would later chair the panel—to allow her to deliver her “Woodhull memorial” in person. Flanked by suffragists Susan B. Anthony and Isabella Beecher Hooker, Woodhull declared before the committee that the 14th and 15th Amendments implicitly granted women the right to vote. | View Map | |

District of Columbia | Washington, DC | Mary Church Terrell; Anna Julia Cooper ; Nannie Helen Burroughs | 1891-1916 | Former M Street High School | Civil rights and suffrage activist, Mary Church Terrell was a teacher at the M Street High School. Anna Julia Cooper was a teacher and principal at the school. In 1896, Nannie Helen Burroughs graduated with honors from the M Street High School. African American educator and activist, Nannie Helen Burroughs (1879-1961) fought for women’s suffrage and equal rights. Burroughs advocated from her position within the National Baptist Convention. She traveled throughout the United States, speaking on equal rights. An August 1915 issue of the NAACP publication, The Crisis, included the article, “Black Women and Reform” written by Burroughs as part of the publication’s “Votes for Women” symposium. Burroughs wrote the article while serving as Secretary of the Woman’s Auxiliary to the National Baptist Convention. In it, Burroughs asked, “What can the Negro woman do with the ballot?” She answered, “What can she do without it?” She continued, stating, “every reform in which the Negro woman has taken part, during the past fifty years, she has been as aggressive, progressive and dependable as those who inspired the reform or led it” and that “the ballot, wisely used, will bring her the respect and protection that she needs,” referring to the ballot as a “weapon of moral defense.” In 1916, the school was relocated to 101 N St NW and was renamed Dunbar High School. | ||
