Volume : I, Issue : X, November - 2011 WOMEN SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT IN TAMIL NADU C. NADARAJAN Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : The right of women to vote, throughout the later part of the nineteenth century, was an
important phase of feminism. It was first seriously proposed at Seneca Falls on July 19, 1848 in a general
declaration of the rights of women prepared by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott and several others.
The early leaders of the movement in the United States were Susan B. Anthony, Mrs. Stanton, Lucretia Mott,
Lucy Stone, Abby Kelley Foster and others. The National Women Suffrage Association led by Anthony and
Shanton was formed in 1869 to agitate for women suffrage. Another organization, American Woman
Suffrage Association led by Lucy Stone was organized to work through the state legislatures. The two
societies were united in 1890 as the National American Women Suffrage Association. After continuous effort
the Constitution granted nation-wide suffrage to women in 1920. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : C. NADARAJAN, (2011). WOMEN SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT IN TAMIL NADU.
