Ida Harper’s Help
Regarding women’s rights, no stronger fighter existed than Ida Harper. Born in 1851, Ida was first a schoolteacher and, later, she wed. Next, Ida made her finest mark by writing articles on the voting rights movement for women.
In 1896, Ida started working on committees with Susan B.
Anthony. Susan was maybe the greatest leader of women of her time. With Susan as a partner, Ida published The Life and Works of Susan B. Anthony, beginning in 1899.
This work for voting rights was the basis for the 19th
Amendment in 1920. After a delay, this would finally grant women the right to vote. This success came in large part from the work of women like Ida Harper. Susan’s name may be bigger, but Ida’s death in 1931 is also marked by women who are grateful for the right to vote.

Mona’s Chance
Mona’s family liked to make big family feasts. Mona’s mama and dad had a hard time making the foods in time.
“Mama,” Mona said, “I would like to help! I know I can do it.”
Mona’s mama smiled. “If I give you a task, you must complete it. We want all our favorite foods for the feast.”
Mona’s mama said she could make the hummus. Mona had watched her mama do this many times. Like her, Mona chopped the garlic, squeezed the lemons, and added the chickpeas and spices. It took a long time to mix!
When Mona’s family and friends came to the feast, the hummus was the biggest hit! “Mama let me do it!” Mona said. “I’m so happy I got to try.”

Voting for All
The Bill of Rights went into effect in 1791. This contained the first ten amendments to the Constitution. But it did not give all men the right to vote. Each state could decide which men voted and which men didn’t. In 1870, the 15th Amendment granted African- American men the right to vote.
After that, many states passed laws that made it hard for African-Americans to vote. Some states kept polling places secret or passed unfair laws to make voting hard!
In 1920, the 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote.
Then in 1965, The National Voting Rights Act became law. It made sure that all citizens of the United States could vote easily. Finally, all people had polling places that were easy to find, and a simple way to vote.
