they celebrated anniversaries like susan b. anthony's birthday were marked with banners, with quotes from susan b. anthony. lincoln's birthday was marked. and they could put together different combinations of banners. but still they weren't gaining the attention of the president. he treated them with courtesy as he went by them, but he did not speak and he was dismissive of what they were doing. so they escalated again. war of course was declared in april of 1917. and that put a slightly different tone on things. and it's still a question that we ask, can you protest? can you picket? can you act? can you question the government in a time when the country is at war? and that's a question that has been asked from the start. in america it was asked during the civil war, when suffragists willingly put aside the push for suffrage to concentrate on winning the civil war and freeing the slaves. alice paul did not have that intention. susan b. anthony, for that matter, had not had that so they come out with a new set of banners. and they're push

. >> susan b. anthony dedicated her life to reform. >> suffrage in the middle of the 19th century accomplished one goal, it was diametrically opposed to this idea. >> many feared it would be corrupted by politics. >> women in the 19th century had to convince male voters that having the vote would not change anything. that woman would still be devoted to the home, the family, that they would remain pure and innocent, that having the vote would not corrupt them. >> support gradually grew in state and local campaigns. >> leaders like ellen clark sgt come repeatedly stopping these meetings -- , repeatedly stopping these meetings as a politically active figure. doing everything they could to ground the campaign in domesticity. >> despite their efforts, the link made it tough whenever voters were in the big city. a specialist in francisco. >> the problem with san francisco is that women's suffrage as an idea was associated. >> susan b. anthony joined the provision party. a deadly idea in san francisco. liquor wa

it is like when susan b. anthony certainly didn't want to put sufferage aside and what would then have been called the less militant group was willing to put their needs under for the greater good of the civil war. they didn't want to repeat of not being rewarded. they assumed they would win in the end. and it passed them by. they weren't going to have that happen again. >> i think the issue, too, is that they really -- they passed us. and many of the members of the national women's party were claimed passivism. i think as a moral ideal for them, they were against the war. but they also understood that they were part of a much larger project. i find national women's party was called militant because they were passivists. i love how you pointed out that they stood there holding their banners. it was a very regal setting and they did not, i think that's why i like this cartoon image so well. they did not agree with using violence in any way. i don't think that wilson really cared what they thought so much about that. b

these are not -- these are quotes of susan b. anthony's. and they would reuse banners and mix them together, which i think is interesting. frequently there are three banners. so say "how long must women wait for liberty?" demand for suffrage and an explanation that it is the most important thing to fight for right now. those two together, a little history with a mild question will be a very pointed question. "mr. president, you say liberty is a fundamental demand of the human spirit." it just begs for an answer. every day they bring a question out to woodrow wilson and beg him to come and answer it. in a way it's amazing that he never did. very few of us can resist responding when we're provoked or when we're challenged or when our credibility is called into account. the suffragists as kyle said they are of their period. so one of these banners, the one on the right, actually that's my right, your left. no, your right. the banner on the right -- sorry about that -- discusses the fact that in the civil war women put aside suffrage. they were

rights movement would not have happened without the dedication and passion of women like kb, and susan b. anthony. they used their anchor to fuel and ignite their voices. many of these women who risk their lives often found themselves find, jailed, in prison, but they still stood up to equality as human beings. even in the earliest beginnings of the country, it was women like sacajawea who showed lewis and clark not only the way to go but carried her baby on her back for 1,000 miles. women like gloria steinem, who earned our respect by bringing women's equality into the mainstream, or rosa parks, who refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white woman. she became a powerful symbol of the civil rights movement. and don't forget candace let mayor, who lost her child to a drunk driver. she joined with other grieving mothers to create one of the most successful grass-roots efforts in american history, mothers against drunk driving. for those of you who did the morning sessions, you have taken a closer look at violence and health-care issues within the context of women around the globe. in the midst

mason of personhood usa, who is the lead e put out a press statement comparing himself to susan b. anthony. in her campaign for women's suffrage in south dakota. and like her campaign, that was unpopular at first, but slowly started to gain and slowly started to gain, he will come back and fight for the unborn. and anyone who does this work is very familiar that colorado it's kind of easy to get a ballot initiative on. it's very low-threshold. what they did this year, they rewrote the title. so before mississippi, there's what i like to call personhood classic, which is just the basic language, life begins at conception. life begins at fertilization. and what they found themselves -- because colorado is a little bit more pro choice than mississippi. so what they found themselves in mississippi -- they weren't -- not prepared for was talking about ivf and talking about birth control. so they decided they were going to start making these hybrids. so they did one and it wasn't one of the most extremes. this is a pretty basic one. it says personhood applies to every human being, regardless of

and like many other women, susan b. anthony, and others, she was fighting to gain the right for us to vote. and we won't go back. there was gloria, shirley chism, kim ghandi, patricia ireland. harriet tubman before them. ella baker before them. all of these are women who have fought too many battles for us to go back. so we won't go back. it's time for us to take our own stand and stand the ground for women and insist that we woent go back for any reason. so we've got to get it on. we can't wait for the summer. we newlywcan't wait for you to together now. i want you to know that it is time that we understand each of our interests is somehow related to all of our interests. so the far right may well have shot the first shot. but it's the one who's still standing when the last shot is fired. and, women, we intend to be there because we are a team. thank you. i love you. god bless you.

>> okay. >> there was susan b. anthony story. >> some women's groups wanted to give the white house a bust of sues an b anthony. there's a bust of her in the capitol. so they had a copy made in bronze, which is very severe looking, and she -- well, she was, i but she was effective. and between the time she arrived and we could get a presentation arranged with mrs. nixon, she sat in my office, my closet, on the third floor of the old d.o.d., and on the dead of night on occasion she would land in the office of somebody who had said or done something detrimental to women. and -- [applause] >> and then i had to rescue her in the morning and bring her back. >> tell us whose -- >> ron zigler.
