Women's Suffrage: The Silent Sentinels(A Reading Passage)Play/Script
By Gail Hennessey
On January 9, 1917, a group of suffragettes, called the National Woman’s Party, led by Alice Paul, went to the White House to see President Woodrow Wilson. They hoped to get the president’s support for woman to have the right to vote. Unfortunately, he refused to support women’s suffrage. He believed it was a state issue and not a federal one.
The next day, January 10, 1917, the group decided to protest, standing outside 12 different sections around the White House. The women felt that the President would be forced to see them any time he left or returned to the White House. Rain or shine, warm or frigid temperatures, the women silently stood, holding banners and signs. Some of the women got frost bite. Holding banners for hours caused arms to ache.The woman got the nickname “Silent Sentinels”.
This reading shares with students how women persisted in their quest to get the right to vote. It certainly wasn't easy! They were met with much resistance and were even jailed.
The reading passage includes comprehension questions and extension activities.
Great for study on women suffrage and especially in 2020 for the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th amendment.

Women's Suffrage: The Silent Sentinels(A Reading Passage)
By Gail Hennessey
On January 9, 1917, a group of suffragettes, called the National Woman’s Party, led by Alice Paul, went to the White House to see President Woodrow Wilson. They hoped to get the president’s support for woman to have the right to vote. Unfortunately, he refused to support women’s suffrage. He believed it was a state issue and not a federal one.
The next day, January 10, 1917, the group decided to protest, standing outside 12 different sections around the White House. The women felt that the President would be forced to see them any time he left or returned to the White House. Rain or shine, warm or frigid temperatures, the women silently stood, holding banners and signs. Some of the women got frost bite. Holding banners for hours caused arms to ache.The woman got the nickname “Silent Sentinels”.
This reading shares with students how women persisted in their quest to get the right to vote. It certainly wasn't easy! They were met with much resistance and were even jailed.
The reading passage includes comprehension questions and extension activities.
Great for study on women suffrage and especially in 2020 for the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th amendment.

A First Lady, first First Lady to become a senator(from New York) and the first First Lady(or any woman) to become the nominee for President of the United States for a major political party(the Democratic Party), in 2016.
