Amar, Akhil Reed. "How Women Won The Vote." Wilson Quarterly 29.3 (2005 30-34. Academic Search Complete. Web. 12 Oct. This article discusses the way in which women went about achieving the right to vote. Whereas it is often misunderstood that the process of women’s suffrage merely came about as a result of the American society realizing that a greater degree of liberty and democratic process should be extended to additional stakeholders, the truth of the matter, as pointed out by the author, was the fact that organization and continual motivation for suffrage ultimately reached a critical mass.

Childers, Amy. 100 YEARS AGO. (2013). Saturday Evening Post, 285(3), 95.On the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage, the Saturday Evening Post ran a historical analysis of this occurrence and allowed for a biopic into how women’s suffrage has impacted the United States and the world since that time. Although it is clear that the United States was not the first system to allow women’s suffrage, the article argues for the fact that its global position of power and dominance helped to spread this practice and acceptance faster than it would otherwise have been spread.

Web. 12 Oct. 2013.This article references the main argument that many men of the era made against allowing women the right to vote; namely the belief that allowing women to vote would result in a type of “mob rule”.

WINEAPPLE, BRENDA. "Ladies Last." American Scholar 82.3 (2013): 28-38. Academic Search Complete.
