THE VOTE

PREMIERES MON-TUES, JULY 6-7, 9 PM “In 1920, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution gave women the right to vote.” It is an axiom of American history; yet seldom has an axiom more thoroughly obscured reality. Although rightly regarded as a milestone for both American women and American democracy, the 19th Amendment was not quite the simple turning point it is generally perceived to be. Timed to the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment, American Experience The Vote, premiering Monday, July 6 and Tuesday, July 7 at 9 p.m. on GPB, charts American women’s determined march to the ballot box and the social, political and cultural obstacles that stood in their path. “The lengths to which women had to go in their pursuit of the ballot will likely come as a surprise to most viewers,” says writer, director and producer Michelle Ferrari. “How many people are aware that suffragists were the first Americans to picket the White House? That those women were jailed, went on hunger strikes and were force-fed by authorities? And that the techniques of non-violent civil disobedience, which we usually associate with the Civil Rights Movement, were employed first by women fighting for the right to vote?” Millions of women voted before the amendment and millions more were prohibited from voting after it, particularly African American women in the South. Nor was the ballot a favor bestowed upon women by an enlightened, progressive society. The right to vote was, in fact, fought for and won — by three generations of American women who, over the course of more than seven decades

carried out one of the most sustained and successful political movements in all of American history. From the moment the clamor for woman suffrage first was raised in the United States, in the 1840s, the question was how the vote would ever be won. Resistance to women’s participation in the political sphere came from every quarter of American society — from political machines eager to maintain their power, industrial interests fearful for their profits, even many women, who were convinced that wielding the ballot would somehow diminish their influence in society. Compounding the opposition, from the late 19th century on, was the poisonous legacy of Reconstruction and the determination of the former Confederate states to preserve white supremacy, in large part by barring African Americans from the polls. As of 1909, despite six decades of relentless struggle, suffragists could point to little in the way of progress. Just four states had extended the franchise to women; the federal woman suffrage amendment — introduced in the Senate in 1878 — had virtually no support on

Capitol Hill; and most in the first generation of activists had gone to their graves without casting a ballot. What had begun as a crusade of the few, however, had become a mass movement — and their collective impatience was mounting. As suffragists attempted to navigate the treacherous shoals of the national political scene, time and again principle was sacrificed in the name of pragmatism. Unfolding after the Civil War, the crusade for women’s suffrage mirrored its historical moment. When expedient, white suffragists proved willing to accommodate pervasive racist and deeply pernicious politics of exclusion. The Vote engages this troubled history directly — underscoring the contributions of women of color to the struggle, the challenges of coalition-building in a fundamentally unequal society, and most importantly, the significant limitations of the 19th Amendment.

AMERICAN EXPERIENCE: THE VOTE PREMIERES MON-TUES, JULY 6-7, 9 PM

Dramatic and thought-provoking, The Vote is, at its core, a story about power — “who has it and who doesn’t want to give it up,” says constitutional lawyer and writer Michael Waldman. “We’re still fighting over who has that power.”
