Today I am studying the history of suffrage. So far I have found out about the centennial luncheon in the Grand Ball Room. At this luncheon many female right leaders gave speeches. I also have researched the rally in Carnegie Hall for women rights. I researched and found Carnegie is in New York, New York. Mother's had the opportunity to speak -on how suffrage affected them being a mother to other mothers. When walked streets with signs. Some women we down to train stations and held signs so other passengers could see. Mrs. Norman de R. Whitehouse was a leader of these women. Mrs,Whitehouse is known for publishing a book that she tells the story on how she took the German Secret Agent by the horns.Some political parties didn't want to get involved in the movement of women rights. They republican party took neutral to stay away. President Theodore Roosevelt wrote a letter going against the woman party because it will "take women away from home". This meant that women will stop doing there responsibilities as wives and mothers.
