I think that Catt was fully aware of the struggles facing future generations in the fight for equal rights. The passage of the 19th Amendment, according to Catt’s reasoning, was just the first step in a long process. Further, she thought that to succeed women would have to approach change from the inside and the right to vote was just a foot in the door, so to speak.

| + | I concur (big word) with EFritz with the acknowledgement that Catt was fully aware of the impending struggles of women. She recognizes the difficulties women will now face as voters. Though they have the right to vote, it does not inherently mean that everything else they desired, namely equality with men, will be achieved. Though suffrage was obtained it does not bring about total reconstruction in societal norms, which have been in place for centuries. --MDvorak | ||
