American History students recently watched "Iron-Jawed Angels", a look at the suffragist movement.
EXTRA CREDIT: What do you think is the single most important characteristic that the women needed to have in order to be successful? Why do you think this?
Determination is one of the most important characteristics the women needed. In order to be successful the women could not give up, they had to be determined to get change.

The most important characteristic is determination. Unless the women have the drive to keep going no matter what struggles they may face, they cannot be successful. -- Brandi
ReplyDeleteThey need to be determined and strong willed. I think this because the determination to achieve there goals has to be strong because giving up would have been so much easier, but those women held their own and eventually acheived what they wanted to acheive.

ReplyDeleteI think ambition is the most important characteristic, because without it they wouldn't have had the drive to persevere and make a difference.

I think mental toughness is probably the most important characteristic. With all the doubters, and people who ridiculed them to no end, they had to be able to stick to their cause, and not be phased by the people who didn't agree with them.
ReplyDeleteI think that the single most needed characteristic among the woman suffrage activists is creativity - even more important than determination. Creativity is important in order to succeed because it was such a radical idea to let women vote at that time, in the early 1900, so the activists had to continuously come up with new ways to promote their cause to maintain people's attention and convince as many as possible. When fighting for something opposed by the majority, you need arguments that can make opponents change their mind and relate to your opinion, which takes a creativity that I would think of harder to get and more important than other characteristics like steadfast determination.
ReplyDeleteI think the single most characteristic that women need to succeed is to be brave!

I think women needed a strong will to be successful in getting their rights. Women had to fight really hard for their rights to vote and that's why i think they needed a strong will

I think the single most important characteristic the women needed was courage. In order to be successful you need to be courageous and stand up for what you believe in. And that is exactly what those women did! They fought for what they believed in and what they thought was right. Stopping at nothing and giving it their all. It would take a lot of guts to do what those women did. That is why I think courage is the singe most important thing they needed to be successful in getting their votes!

I think that the single mos important characteristic that they needed was perseverance. Because they had to suffer through so much and if they hadn't persevered they would have failed.
