how did the suffragettes use united states foreign policy to argue for the 19th amendment?
¿cómo utilizaron las sufragistas la política exterior de estados unidos para argumentar a favor de la 19ª enmienda?
suffragettes believed that the united states should remain neutral in world war i in order to focus on the democratic issues at home.
suffragettes saw president wilsons decision to call for a declaration of war as an obstacle to passage of the 19th amendment.
suffragettes had differing ideas on foreign policy, particularly the entry into world war i, causing a major split among the women, which slowed the efforts to get the 19th amendment ratified.
suffragettes decided to use president wilsons own words to show the double - standard of fighting for democracy in world war i while women were denied the right to vote in the united states.
During World War I, President Wilson framed U.S. involvement as a fight for global democracy. Suffragettes leveraged this rhetoric to expose a contradiction: the U.S. claimed to defend democracy abroad but denied half its population (women) the right to vote at home, using this double standard to push for the 19th Amendment. The other options are incorrect: suffragists did not center their argument on neutrality, view war as just an obstacle, or have a split that was the core of their foreign policy-related pro-amendment argument.
