  Aug 11, 202634 minS2

  In this episode, we talk about the votes for women movement in California. Maria de Lopez was a Latina suffragist who brought a powerful bilingual voice to California’s suffrage drive, both speaking and writing in Spanish. John Hyde Braly was a prominent businessman and public education advocate who became a staunch suffragist and started the Political Equality League to recruit influential men to the cause. Charlotta Bass published her newspaper for the Black community, The California Eagle , advocating votes for women as well as waging a “fearless war against segregation and discrimination.” Ellen Clark and Aaron A. Sargent were a suffrage power couple with Senator Sargent making history by introducing the 29-word woman suffrage amendment to the U.S. Senate in 1878. It was reintroduced every year for over forty years. Selina Solomon, born to a Jewish immigrant family, focused her suffrage campaign on wage-earning women and their needs.
