Love how you bookended this with Dessa's "Sound the Bells." She's an I C O N to me lol Also thanks for this great lens into the suffrage movement! Interesting to hear the story from Minnesota.
Truly excellent and informative documentary at its best. Well done, Twin Cities PBS. And women, pay attention: those hard-won rights -- especially the right to vote -- are at risk of erosion everywhere in our nation in 2024. Stand up, register, and vote!

4:15 in 2006 when I was 18 years old I was chosen to sit on a jury and the judge and the defense and the prosecution try to kick me off the jury but I stood my ground. I was on the jury for 2 days
@@bertdaggler4837 1. I don't use or go by the term "woke" unless I'm referring to sleep. 2. I enjoyed the documentary but it only showed a quarter of the women who made strides for us. I was expecting to learn a lot more about unsung heroes from all backgrounds that I didn't know, or wasn't as familiar with. 3. I feel the same way when I watch a March On Washington documentary and it only highlights MLK and main speakers, but not any of the background organizers. Im also guilty of being a little upset that StarLords and Gamora's background is heavily covered on Guardians of the Galaxy, but we don't know much on the other crew members. 4. Its my party and I can cry if I want to.
@@jackjohnson6230 Military service has never been a requirement for voting rights in the USA. This is a post-hoc rationalization for why women shouldn't have the right to vote as it's not something that was actually considered at the time when voting rights were being expanded.
If we accept America was first to give woman the vote and New Zealand the first nation to see the sun, then if we make New Zealand great again by implementing the same political system that NZ had in. 1893, that is people vote for a regional minister then the regional ministers vote for a Prime Minister, then this will create a revolution movement where politicians come together and people pay more attention to the local area.
The whole idea of voting is quite new, considering that not so long ago, all those democracies were monarchies, where often a woman, namely a queen was given the highest authority, and even after abolishment of monarchy, and introduction of republicanism, there was no such thing as one vote per individual. The only reason for changing from one vote per family to one vote per individual, and questioning the traditional role of man as the head of a family, was to weaken the family, by turning the wife and the husband against each other, and giving the power to children, who are the easiest to manipulate, and lack the social responsibility.
@@Fandar The problem with transition from monarchy to republicanism was a poor legal-system in general, but the idea of one vote per family is still supreme to one vote per individual, and my point is, that changing this specific rule was a mistake.

@MalcSkizz how about letting women choose how they want to live their lives, and if they can afford to stay home with the kids, that doesn't automatically mean she should give up the right to choose. We are not PROPERTY, so why should we have to live our lives according to a man's say-so?
Is it true that women were given the chance to vote in America and turned it down? because in order to vote they had to enroll in selective service like the men
+ Thee Kenny Bee yes it is true that was fair enough to be that way whereas now days feminism = hypocrites they want the rights but not the responsibilities and consequences that come with those rights
No. In fact it was somewhat the other way around. The right to vote for women gained ground after some women fought in the war voluntarily and the US appreciated that. I will say that often when progressive women fight for rights, conservative women express fear that those rights would mean mandatory selective service for women too. That has yet to be true. I do hear arguments today for removing gender requirements for selective service, but it's not *linked* to other rights women have or want.
@@firstgenchevelleman there are many men who either are not eligible for or never needed to sign up for the draft such as men with disabilities or men who became naturalized citizens after the age of 26. In addition, the draft has never been required nor a qualification for voting at any time in our country's history. In fact if you go back to the founders' days it was really the opposite (those who were drafted were the least likely to have voting rights due to the land ownership requirement)
