Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt speaks about the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (ratified on August 18, 1920)

Mrs Carrie Chapman Catt speaks after ratification of the 19th amendment to the U.S. Constitution, giving women the right to vote. Catt, President of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, is seated in a chair in an office or library and reads from a prepared script. She traces the roots of the struggle, for the rights of women in America, back to an 1848 convention in Seneca Falls, New York. She notes that grievances related to woman suffrage were the same in number as grievances enumerated by male colonists in America against the British crown. She notes that it took George Washington 6 years to resolve those grievances via war, but it took 72 years for women to resolve their suffrage grievances via the law.
