= Rough Draft = ** This is a rough draft and as such it is not complete. All cite info will be added numerically now and then prior to publishing be the detailed version. I will  where I feel I need to add more, if you read this and think I need more information, please don't hesitate to say so. I am transferring part of my Rough Draft from google docs, there is still more. This is my first time and I chose a very full topic. **

The definitive beginning of the Women’s Suffrage Movement is hard to pin down as it had been brewing in history and society for some time. The best official start can be claimed by Seneca, NY at a Women’s Rights Convention in 1848 (source 1, par 1). In July of 1848 the Declaration of Sentiments was written and signed by women and some men who attend the first Women's Rights Convention and on July 20th it was read allowed by Elizabeth Cady Stanton (source 6, par 3). This marked the official beginning to the Women’s Suffrage Movement. .

Women (who exactly? Stanton and the others from Seneca?) also utilized the antislavery movement, in the hopes that this would further their battle to be seen as equal citizens as well. But with the ratification of Amendments 13, 14  and 15, women found that they were not included in the ratification of Amendment 15 that opened voting to men of color (source 2 par 2, source 9 par 4). ''

Women grew more and more frustrated with being denied the right to vote while still being expected to pay taxes. With much effort though women were enfranchised and given the right to vote in 4 states: Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming and Utah (source 2, par 4). '   This brought women into the 20th century with hope and a drive to push harder and eventually they were able to make it to the Judiciary Committee (source 10, par 1)'.

The Susan B. Anthony Amendment, which is now known as the 19th Amendment, was brought to Congress every year from 1870 to 1914 (source 2, par 5).

Jessica's Work Log
02.24.2019: I noticed that the Women's Suffrage Movement is missing from the Wikipedia page Uprisings Led By Women. My goal with editing this page will be to add this uprising to the page, showing that this was an uprising led by women, what the outcome was and if it is ongoing or not. I found these sources so far, which detail the "Official" start date as November 5, 1872 with other sources claiming it began in Seneca Falls, NY in 1848. However, I am going to check that information over the next few weeks and add the necessary details. I am going to start with these sources and will be adding more as I do my research.

02.25.2019: From Heather: Looks great, Jessica! Look at the format each section has and try to follow it as you add "Women't Suffrage Movement." I would even look at the Women's suffrage in the United States page, to see what they do and do not include. Next week, please write up your draft of that section under a new heading here in the Sandbox, okay? Keep it up!

03.05.2019 Have been reading through various sources, spent much time at the library. Debating over whether to add two sections, Women's Suffrage in the U.S. and Women's Suffrage in Britain and Canada... Lots to go over. But, have a good timeline of events so far and am planning out how to write it down. Hesitant to put down anything in here yet that is solid, until I can figure out a better way to phrase without regurgitating facts I've been reading.

3.22.2019- From Heather: Nice work trying to narrow it down, Jessica. I think Women's Suffrage in the US is plenty to add to this page (don't worry about Britain and Canada). It can be hard to summarize sources without repeating them. What I like to do is step away from what I've read and come right back and write what I think I understood without looking at the original. See if that works for you. I left you an italicized comment on your draft above. And I've asked Shalor, our Wikipedia tech, to see about answering your question on the Talk page. This week, please copy more of your finished draft section, with sources, into this Sandbox and prepare to move it to the main space. :)

4.5.2019- From Heather- Move your work to main space article! :)
