Origin of article[edit]

This article was created as a split-off of the "Woman suffrage in individual states" section of the "Women's suffrage in the United States" article on 29 September 2014‎. Bilpen (talk) 21:05, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

edits[edit]

Hey guys, just letting you all know my partner and I are looking to add a section about women's suffrage and how it affected women's fashion. Do what you will with it once it is published.

Use of the phrase "The Mormon issue"[edit]

The first sentence of the section on Utah states "The Mormon issue made the fight for women's suffrage in Utah unique."

I wonder if it would be better to say "The prevalence of Mormonism in Utah made the fight for women's suffrage there unique."

"The Mormon issue" feels a bit conversational and assumes that people know what that issue is.

Such a fascinating facet of the history of this movement! ScoutHarris (talk) 15:07, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Section on Virginia[edit]

I am in the process of researching to expand the article on Lila Meade Valentine and it has inspired me to add a section to this article about women's suffrage in Virginia—it was a home to a fairly robust movement. --ScoutHarris (talk) 15:20, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've put together a new article on women's suffrage in Virginia that I plan to link here, along with a brief synopsis—much like what you see on the Utah section. ScoutHarris (talk) 00:35, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Adding a few links[edit]

Just added some links throughout the article to others around Wikipedia—specifically to a few individuals and to each state mentioned to keep "linking behavior" consistent throughout. --ScoutHarris (talk) 17:57, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Maryland in the South?[edit]

I wonder if it would be more appropriate to rename the "East" section to "East Coast and New England" and then move Maryland to that section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ScoutHarris (talk • contribs) 21:19, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Texas in the South[edit]
