Our very own #Suffragists! This essay was written by one of the Heurich daughters, either Anita (b. 1905) or Karla (b. 1907), arguing for Women’s suffrage in 1915! Her two arguments (which were common for the Suffragists of the time):⁣
🗳️ Women work hard to support their families and cannot improve their own or their family’s conditions because they cannot vote.⁣
🗳️ Women raise children and have a duty to protect them. This also reflects the growing concern for children’s labor rights at the time.⁣
⁣
In 1915, Congress failed to pass an amendment to give women suffrage in the United States. The 19th Amendment would not be passed until 1919, after the first World War.⁣
⁣
🗳️ This Friday, June 28th from 6-8pm, as part of #CivicSeason, register to vote with headcountorg as part of the #StillWeVote campaign at 1912biergarten!⁣
⁣
📸 Essay in the Heurich collection. C. 1915⁣
📸 Amelia Heurich’s Diary from January 13th, 1915: “The women’s suffrage vote was defeated last night. Today they voted in the Senate whether the Prohibition measure can be attached to the appropriation bills. They voted 41 to 34 against having such an amendment attached to the appropriation bill and that 2/3 vote must count not the majority.”

Today is National Women’s Equality Day.

A century after women’s suffrage, the fight for equality isn’t over.
Women struggled for decades to win the right to vote, but it’s taken even longer for all to be able to exercise it.

Let’s remember to be there for each other and acknowledge we are not perfect. This a time for mutual responsibility, respect and action. We must not let up!
.
This has been an extremely challenging time, one that has encouraged dialogue, debate, and change. Unfortunately it has also caused a lot of pain.
.
We have too much at stake, especially the LGBTQ+ community, to not support each other and do our best to work together. This means we must communicate with each other, especially when things are tough. Give folks room to grow, allow yourself to feel uncomfortable, and don’t give up.
.
We need everyone to remain in this fight, to lift each other up, and to get each other to the ballot and mailbox.
