Suffrage Strategy
• 1. Convince state legislatures to grant women the right to vote (success in Wyoming in 1869 followed by Utah, Colorado, and Idaho in the 1890s).
• 2. Pursue court cases to test the 14th Amendment (all male citizens could vote)—Weren’t women citizens as well?
• 3. Push for a national constitutional amendment to give women the right to vote.
