Woman Suffrage

In Thursday class with a movie about how women got the right to vote. It wasn't my favorite movie I feel like it did do a good job explaining the movements of these women. During school many kids just learn about Elizabeth Cady Stanton or Susan B. Anthony.

I think it was good the movie branched a taught about the other key players. Because women Suffrage lasted a long time. I think the determination was a key in helping this women gain the right to vote. I feel with a lot of nonviolence movements you have be able to have endurance. You won't see the results immediately.

This movie made me think that part of nonviolence is running down the the other party. You are damaging any property but you are wearing down their stability.

These women were putting pressure on the government ( not in an illegal way), they were really trying to make them break and concede their wishes. It was almost like a standoff on who could last longer. The Government tried to but these women in jail and work house but they just came back with more resilience.

I just think the key into a nonviolence movement is that you have be determined and willing to continue to big yourself up from defeat on multiply occasions.
