- The 19th, or Susan B. Anthony, Amendment to the constitution, guaranteeing all women the vote, was finally passed in 1920 after Wilson was convinced to back it.
- The enfranchisement of women in the US was followed by the disenfranchisement of black women.
This was done by a variety of devious means, learned from the experience of disenfranchising black men.
One recorded example was in Columbia, South Carolina, where black women were told to wait to register; they waited and waited – some black women were prepared to wait for 12 hours to register their vote – then, the following day, property tax requirements were declared mandatory and set at $300 worth of property.
Even black women that passed this requirement were still not registered.
