Why It Took So Long for Women to Get to Vote

I like how you covered a piece of history that revolved around women and got a sponsor for men's hair.

Mary Wollstonecraft was actually the mother of Mary Shelley, the writer of Frankenstein.

I'm Iraqi, in my country woman were allowed to vote about 40 years ago, I asked my mom about it and she shrugged it off saying it was a monarchy then a takeover and no one male or female got to vote, the right to vote was granted to everyone at the same time..though arguably we haven't really had a transparent or honest elections since, but hey at least it wasn't discrimination!

It's so crazy to me how such major legislation often comes down to just one vote.

Vatican city women be like: We don't exist

So...what DO we do about the women's hats?

As a swiss person this was so funny ; when you were listing countries and years I thought "holy cow wait until he sees Switzerland" and then you made your comment about how long it took us. Wait until you learn that the last canton (state) to give women the right to vote was Appenzell InnerRhoden in 1991. There is a "funny" swiss film about this called "Die göttliche Ordnung". Thank you for this video ! It was very interesting

At 2:45 Mr. Beat said that EVERY ADULT COULD VOTE. The Voting Rights Act Of 1965. "You seriously didn't think I'd notice this?"

Interesting. I had no idea that the Iroquois started women's right to vote. They also had formed a system of government that the United States would imitate. This is good.

I got a women's rights ad before the video 😂😂😂

Well to be fair, the men they quoted at the beginning all looked like the same person.

I’m confused when you said that Saudi Arabia gave women the right to vote in 2015. I thought they were an absolute monarchy where nobody voted

My great grandma wasn't able to vote when she became of age (21 at the time) because the UK only extended the franchise to working class and young women in 1928. Given that I was only born in 1999, that really puts it into perspective for me.

What’s even crazier is how long it took to allow women to vote in the province of Quebec in Canada. It took all the way up too the 1940s to allow them to vote...

This video reminds me of my junior year of high school. I took an American Public Policy class. My teacher showed the class a video of a guy going around a college campus asking women to sign a petition to end women's suffrage. Many women didn't know what the word suffrage meant and thought it meant suffering. So they would sign the petition and cheer. (Though there were some women who knew what the word meant and refused to sign the petition.) 😂

There’s a cool Schoolhouse Rock song about the 19th Amendment. Also, David Bowie has a song called Suffragette City.

I think it's important to note that in the United States, the women's suffrage movement and abolitionism have always been intertwined, for better or worse. The women's suffrage movement initially relied on a lot of the abolitionists' support and resources. This is eventually (post-abolition of slavery, but still the same movement/people) what led to the division between the National Woman Suffrage Association and the American Woman Suffrage Association, because they disagreed over whether black men should be able to vote before white women.

It's amazing how most of the people obsessed with keeping America how the Founding Fathers intended wouldn't have been allowed to vote back in the era they desperately attempt to glorify.

They shouldn't be allowed to vo

Wait it took the USA until 1920 to let women vote? Kate Sheppard's 1893 petition to the New Zealand Parliament is available online, I found my ancestors had signed it. I was very proud to see their names.

That guy had a point about hats

Ooh I haven't seen many people cover this side of women's suffrage. Also my book just arrived!!!!

I wonder how they would react to the women running for president today, like Harris, Gabbard, and Clinton, politics aside. Anyhow great video! As to what amendment should be the next, I’d say something relating to the electoral college; either abolishing, reforming it, or changing it to give votes proportionally to the popular vote.

Honestly, I'm not even upset that women can't vote in Vatican city simply because citizenship isn't permanent in Vatican city and it's less of a country and more like a sovereign headquarters for the catholic church. Women not being able to vote in Vatican City is disappointing, but ultimately seems inconsequential.

According to the National Parks Service of the United States, “The 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote, but some New Jersey women could vote as early as 1776. New Jersey’s first constitution in 1776 gave voting rights to “all inhabitants of this colony, of full age, who are worth fifty pounds … and have resided within the county … for twelve months.” In 1790 the legislature reworded the law to say “he or she,” clarifying that both men and women had voting rights. But only single women could vote because married women could not own property. Still, many unmarried women voted in New Jersey in the 1790s and the very early 1800s…In 1807, the state legislature restricted suffrage (voting rights) to tax-paying, white male citizens. This was done to give the Democratic-Republican Party an advantage in the 1808 presidential election. Women often voted for the opposing Federalist Party, so taking away women’s voting rights helped the Democratic-Republicans. This law also took voting rights away from African Americans.”

Mr. Beat: women can vote in every country! The Taliban in Afghanistan: watch this

When Police Departments do indeed get "defunded", as in, their excess money goes to other City Departments, same with the Pentagon, how do you think historians in the future will feel about it? And what about Medicare for All when it passes?

I really enjoyed scrolling through these comments and laughing at the misogyny and general sexism therein. Appreciate your video and thank you for being a feminist ally. Solidarity, brother.

A point of correction in an otherwise excellent video. Suffragettes and suffragists were two separate groups (although you use the terms interchangeably). Suffragists were founded in the 1830's-40's and picked up steam in the 1880's onwards. They used peaceful methods like petitions, marches, writing books etc, they believed that the best way to get women the vote was to prove that women were just as rational as men. Suffragettes were founded in the early 1900's, as a reaction to the perceived slowness of the suffragists. The 'gettes believed that the best way to get women the vote was to simply make it too much work for the government to deny it to them. These women slashed paintings, smashed shop windows, bombed letterboxes etc. I don't know about America but I know that in the UK the suffragettes get most of the credit despite a) being around for much less time and b) being much more unpopular. Most women at the time identified with the suffragists.

Me reading the title: excuse me sir but what the dang

Its really weird nowadays to think these things were normal but it was normal back then I think in the future people will think the same stuff about us what we though was normal. But anyway I like this video Mr. beat

"Goodness gracious" ... that's putting it mildly LOL

I believe that no one but Mr. Beat should vote.

Why are men so mean to women?

Where were the lies in the old timey statements?

I need to stop adding videos to the "Watch later" playlist because then I somehow take more time to actually watch them. Anyway, great video! The quotes at the beginning were amazing (in no small part thanks to the delivery). Poor Sir Cecil Beck sounds like he was afraid that the women might turn out to be better politicians after all and of course, Rowland Hunt wins by having the best argument. Being Polish my favorite quote of a XIX century prick about women comes from Tsar Nicolas I himself. In a letter from 1831 to Ivan Paskievich, his new governor of the freshly reconquered Poland, after the November Uprising, he wrote that: “I fear women! That devilish nation always acted through them!”. I know it's not directly about the voting rights.

5:52 That's what is used to be about.

The reason why you said YES that WOMEN SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE is because we all look forward to all EQUALL RIGHTS.

I don’t want to be that guy but working class men couldn’t vote until the 19th amendment was passed either.

“Classic patriarchal misogyny” would be a great answer but too short and not interesting enough lol.

Yeah *women* , why do you judge people so much, look at the facts every once in a while. In all seriousness this video should be getting more views

In fairness, no men other than the College of Cardinals electing a new Pope can vote. In constitutional terms, Vatican City is an absolute monarchy.

"Fun" fact: In Switzerland, some women did not have the right to vote at certain levels until 1991. The structure of government in Switzerland is similar to the one of the US, we have both the state (we call them Cantons but it's kind of the same) and federal levels. 1971 was when women got the right to vote at federal level but in some states, they still did not habe the right to vote at state's level. The last state to give their women the right to vote was Appenzell in 1991 (and even then the state voted against in 1990 but the supreme court forced them to adopt it a year later). So one could say that women's right to vote were given as late as 1991 and not 1971 ^^'

Great historical summary, I'd have liked a more intersectional lens tho, more information on african American women and their role in the movement, how they participated and how they were treated in return. Women in tge us didn't get the right to vote through the 19th amendment. White women got the right to vote but that is not the same a women and i feel that is in generally overglossed in conversations and very relevant to this video. Women got the right to vote in the usa in 1965 and yes fuck Switzerland but glasshouse throwing stones yada yada but intersectionalism is as important as it always has been so to me it feels like it should've been in this video.

Only if people did not have a biased Opinion and also if we could bring back some of these people from back then.

Am I right to conclude that "Conservative" brains had brought out the words that are ridiculously anti-female but were considered completely "nornal" back in the day?

Like the from the Lincoln movie, the congress scene from Yeaman...

Mr beat be simping

the pope has never had that WAP

I just broke up with my boyfriend of 7 years. He wasn't always this way but he was influenced by misogynist rampant on Twitter. A large backlash against the woke left has alot of people wishing for the good old days. While I agree some women are better suited for and enjoy roles of homemaker vs. the office and the 2 working parents system isn't great for children and the family unit, I won't tolerate my ex or anyone telling me women shouldn't vote because we are generally ruled by our emotions. I couldn't be more offended. When I got emotional (outraged as I continued to defend my humanity as a person with both emotional and logical capabilities of discernment) I was told that I couldn't keep my emotions and ego out if a political discussion. I've never been more angry in my life...so I came to the internet to rant.

Here's a real head-scratcher! Should _Americans_ have the right to vote?

Love the new video and the wives input here! Learning alot here 54 year old new to history enjoying all the new videos and your great videos and songs!

My Mom owns a pet-cleaning business. It's popular in alteast 10kg near my home.

When science is being used to justify stupid things

Technically women can't vote in Brunei either, but that's because no one can vote.

Pronounced Aberdeen-SHEER

I'll Never see Greece and Turkey Compared

Woah! Mr. Beat is a MAN?! Yo I never expected that!

I enjoy your videos. However, you talked about women voting but forgot to say that it didn’t include women of color. Your video was only about white women.

6:52 is so funny but awful at the same time

Why is it making sense in 2022

Gender doesn't dictate every quality you have.

GOD AH AHHHH GOD AH IM A LEMON AHH

Make Bulgaria vs Romania compared the two poorest countriest in the European union

I'm soooooo glad that the suffrage of the past is crippling us today. Let's keep that tradition going for another 150+ years.Thankfully we have these points in history to repeatedly keep us all in a constant state of none trust. Because once lines are drawn you will be always wrong no matter what side your own. Learn from mistakes but also learn and promote to keep moving forward together with no lines drawn.

Those hats are too big doe

Unpopulair opinion I do think that, in general, woman have a more emotional temperament. I think that, in general, man are better leaders cause they think more in the bigger picture.

Damn it. If only those visionaries has won out. I can't tell you how often me, a tiny little man, has had my view impleaded by those monsterous hats that women wear.🤣🤣🤣 but joking aside. I'm honestly surprised that women got the right to vote when they did. Men only got the right to vote, regardless of their race or ownership of property by the 1870's. Women got the same rights 50 years later, at a time when most women didn't work. In places like Britain largly won the right to vote since thanks to WWI and certain other products they were able to join the work force (Sort of forced to, since most men where off in france slogging the jerries). by comparision, it wasn't until WW2 that women made a sizeable chunk of the work force, that's not to say that women never worked, they did but weren't in as great a size.

What? Women can vote? When did this happen??????

Nice

Honestly, while they're wrong, you could make an argument as to why women shouldn't be in government positions due to stress with pregnancy due to what was known at the time. Really though? Voting? How is that so stressful that it would hurt someone's health?

#repealthe19th

facts

Are there women in the Vatican? I know the population is very small and it’s mostly men, but I’m not sure if the population was 100% male

Mr Wade is so bad at speaking lol

Answer. Sexism

I'd be willing to wager that you could still find women in the "heart of dixie" who think voting should still be left up to men. It stumps me when I hear women of younger generations strongly voicing the opinions of their grandfathers.

I'd rather know why are they allowed to vote now.

Hard to believe my grandmother who died in 2015 only had the right to vote just 5 years prior (she was born in 1925).

A Few interesting facts: -1906 was also the year when all men in Finland got the right to vote. Prior to that only the members of the four estate could vote. -Finland was the first country in the world were women also got the right to run as candidates. (19/200 members of parliament were women in 1906) -The first female minister of the world was also Finnish Miina Sillanpää SDP (The minister of Social Affairs 1926-1927)

Glad we all mostly have the right to vote. But now we have to fight voter suppression and gerrymandering and our union would be even more perfect :)

Very interesting. It's hard to believe that is how it used to be. I different world! Thanks for the video Mr. Beat!

It's insane the number of absurd ideas we used to believe in as a society.

Damn, those arguments against the 19th amendment were hilarious. Anyway, good video Mr. Beat. By the way I have a interesting idea for a video. The most important presidential elections in American history. Again, good video Mr. Beat. Because of you, I learned more about American history.

Woodrow Willson Don't like Woman the right to vote in 1920 until the 1921 or 1920 and 19 Amendment

I hope you're doing okay today, Mr. Beat! I think your channel makes very good content that really educates and entertains me! Keep being great and stay safe, man! :D

Title: Women didn't let women vote Me: *_confusion_*

Bet you won't like this

It’s sad that there are still men AND women who think a woman can not be a president because a woman is too “Emotional”.

Hey Mr. Beat, it is really interesting to see how the idea of democracy had evolved over the centuries, comparing the Athenian democracy to a modern democracy is almost impossible, but the road to true democracy is still long in most countries.

Ohh man, Alex's hats quote made me LOL

These men would be shocked to our President has daily “womenly” outburst.

2:20 Wait a minute, he’s got a point 😳

I am amazed by the quotes, how could they say about their equals, unbeliveble, also who were those woman reading anti woman quotes, shure Mr. Beat called on his female neighbors to read the quotes, also Elly it is that button yeah that one thanks Elly, yeah I am amazed that woman with the same capacities as men were not able to vote or have a word in arguments, well the Iroquois were the first time woman voted in America YAY, also YAY Mrs. Taft ( that name sounds familiar to me ) got the vote, Oh snap she just voted for her dead husband and the whole property thing NOOO, well yeah according to your book and seires it was only wealthy land owners who could vote, later all men and later blacks, and at the end of the list Woman [Hoover] damit, well I had heard of Wollscraft and other late 18th century writngs by women on Cyper's video on feminism, YAY finally places give Women the vote girl power is on the rise, so yeah it took off in the US in the 1840's but that was of course overshadowed by the slavery question and the abolishionist movement, yes i ha seen your vid on feminsism Mr. Beat and i had heardof the Seneca Falls meeting, (Fun Fact I read the declaration of Sentiments to my mom because my father is crushing her hopes and is using her as a monetary tool so I used the declaration to inspier my mom so thanks Mrs. Stanton (again familiar name to some Civil War Cabinet member), Ok infiror brains heck no, hurt reproductive system, no way were did you got this scandalous information from Mr. Beat I can't fit that "logic" into my brain, reproductive systems, so they believed woman were house keepers and tools of reproduction, I am angry now Oh Sedgwick that went too far, Wright go back to school, the reproductive system has nothing to do with the brain you silly, Mr. Beat stop talking about the opisition or Mrs Beat is going to get angry, at least someone has common sense in here thanks Mr. Blackwell, well i think the west was easier to the movement because it had less population, Oh yes I had heard of Woodhull 1872!!!!!! and her running mate was Frederick Douglass, wait was Anthony arrested for DEMOCRACY, nuts, the Justice does not know what democracy is, oh god what was happening back then i think not even the civil rights movement was so violent agins the protest, well the voilent protest was mostly in england, Oh God I wich i was in D.C that day for a good cause, now enter WILSOOOOOON!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!, Yeah I have seen a few of those pictures of women in the White House, but never knew they were there all day, finally the omly good thing Thomas Wilson did was support suffarge, Oh good what a climax, and now all eyes were on him the whole world Burns said ..........YES, well mr beat you are awsome as allways great work, so there you go Mr. beat worked hard, on this, this videos areiven to you by a kindharted man, a man of truth, you should sub to this channel to become smarter, wiser, and a better peroson, this man is not bias, he tells the truth, he is not influenced by his oppinion like in his fasism video, he gave a true response, he is one of the best teachers in the world, he is THE greatest history youtuber of all time, he also is a great singer i really mean it dude you need more attention for such cachy and good music your vice is beautyfull one of his songs makes my day, ideed an example of a man to be followed by history buffs, fans, and schoolars,, the background, the words the extensive reasearch, getting the woman to help you with the quotes, getting the pictures correctly, their is a lot of hard work

it’s surprising that only now it’s been a hundred years, you think we’d have been allowed to vote earlier, since a lot of activism started in the 1800’s, but i think everyone agrees when i say we shouldn’t have had to fight for years for something so basic

Proud to come from one of the first states to give women the right to vote

Great video, I actually cover this Amendment in my video: "What if the South Won the Civil War?" and how the South voted against 19th Amendment, with it not passing in the Confederacy until 1970 had the South been an independent. Keep up the great work Mr.Beat!

You forgot to mention Australia, where the colonies of South Australia and Western Australia gave women the right to vote in 1895 and 1899, then in 1902 across the whole country after Australia became a country. There were very serious constitutional debates in the 1890s over protecting women's rights to vote in colonies where they did have that right. Incidentally, South Australia became the first jurisdiction in the world to allow women to stand for parliament, after conservatives proposed an amendment to derail the entire bill, but it all passed anyway.

The tiny nation of Liechtenstein, located on the border between Austria and Switzerland, is the last European country to give women the right to vote, granting it in 1984
