British and American Suffrage Movements
The general sources on women’s rights and women’s suffrage listed in my introduction for this issue will be very useful here as will the resources I’ve provided for other essays such as Judith Wellman’s discussion of the Seneca Falls Convention. See American Memory’s site for selections from its massive collection of materials relating to the National American Woman’s Suffrage Association and the two suffrage associations that merged to form “NAWSA”:

The University of Missouri-Kansas City has a good site on the background of the ratification of the 19th amendment in 1920:
