CORRECTION : IN 1920 ONLY WHITE WOMEN WERE ALLOWED TO VOTE. bLACK WOMEN HAD TO WAIT TILL 1970S WITH BLACK MEN TO GET SAME WOMEN'S RIGHT
@@hypno4012 correct answer
Such a shame that Alice Paul would discriminate and try to deny Ida B Wells the very same dignity, respect & privileges she and other women so tirelessly fought for.
Lady Bird Exactly
Racism was very deep rooted into people's minds at the time.
We have a street named Ida B Wells here in Texas. It makes me feel more connected to history, in a sense.
Well, actually it was strategic in some sense. The powerholders were sexists& racists, so by her acting like that while she thought she was rightful enough to join the parade without being at the back, she was only dragging the value she was standing for to go in effect. Since it would be unappealing to the powerholders, making the biases to break two, instead of one
@@aaa-rp3dpsounds Karen-y
There probably are others. But this is the first time, I watched something on women's rights to vote and mentions black people as part of the story. Not in segregation to the movement. Thank you.
That's why it's important to teach this in school
@@terriaranich8524 Imagine believing it is important to teach lies in school
The cognitive dissonance required to pursue equality for one's self, whilst denying it to others, will never cease to amaze me.
Yeah, blew my mind when I found out about Ghandi. I guess everything adds up when you say "all men are created equal" while believing "men" are exclusively white males.
What I'm trying to say is there is no dissonance if you don't consider blacks or women as humans, sadly
@@user-xq5og9lt8p GHANDI WAS WHITE??
@@togepreee lol, didn't notice that blooper. Anyway, I regret nothing =)
Firstly it's Gandhi not Ghandi secondly he wasn't white he was brown and no he wasn't racist
Mygonstic though. Not even very good people is flawless. :)
This made me appreciate my right to vote more, it's only been that way for less than a century!
Next year will be the 100th anniversary 🎆
We should know, we were not saved by a knight on horse back, but a woman riding a horse for us

Happy Women's Month. 👩⚕️💪
Wow We've come a long way, girls! Thank you Ted-Ed for remembering what women fought for ❤
Yep it was a great thing to do.
YES!! Snapchat filters and drawing on eyebrows 😩😍
got subtitles or transcript? Cuz I'm kinda deaf here
Hey Quinten Whyte! Thanks for letting us know they weren't showing up, the subtitles are up and working now!
@@TEDEd Appreciated, TED-Ed! A quote from our legendary Stan Lee... "Excelsior!"
I have tears in my eyes. We have come a long way.
This is the type of feminism most women support. The type that still has to exist because in some country’s women don’t have simple human rights.
Women are opressed everywhere on the planet. Not just in 3rd world countries
Bran ate Jojen paste yes I didn’t say they weren’t, but women in third world countries don’t have simple human rights, in addition to being oppressed by the people around them they are oppressed by the government/leaders. In western countries women have simple human rights, but yes still oppressed but less oppressed then women in third world countries.
@@CrazeeFy
Yeah men are lucky to not be oppressed. I'm a man and being a man have so many privileges such as have 63% longer sentence than women or more likely to get assault and abuse but no one helps or being more likely to not get into college because college and universities still act like women are the oppressed minorities that needed handout while male graduation grades decline or being less likely to get adopted or being more likely to get murdered or being more likely to become homeless because there are more homeless shelters for women than for all gender. Being a man is fun. So many privileges, so many opportunities.
@@Broccoli75 you forgot mining , construction , army
How much we've come forward! Don't stop fighting!
Huh?
@TheRealJohnHooper Bodily autonomy. I live in the USA.
Love that you had a woman narrate the video as well!
Go, Black women!✊🏿
The most American🇺🇸 thing is to protest for your rights.
this is so beautiful and educating! I love how entertaining TED-ed’s videos are but they still educate us.
I was convicted of a felony as a 18 year old man. I’ve been a strong member of my community ever since. Yet I don’t have the right to vote because of Jim Crow laws. There is a huge disenfranchised group of Americans that are unable to vote. I made a mistake in my youth and for that I no longer have a voice. There are millions of people of voting age that will never have the right to vote because of laws that were in acted to prevent people of color from voting. Times have changed and I think it’s time for the laws to do the same.
Here in Germany, even prisoners are allowed to vote. Don't give up, eventually all those millions will have their voting rights back, you just have to fight for your rights. Injustice will never withstand people who are willing to fight for their rights (not by means of violence though). In my opinion it is high time that once again millions of people demonstrate in your capital. Perhaps the fight will last for years or even decades, but eventually you will succeed. You have all my sympathy.
How do you tell between a hardened criminal and a repented criminal?
Ao Li I ask does it matter and what is your definition of a hardened criminal? What if there is a law that you believe is unjust? If the law in question is a felony and you are charged you have no recourse to challenge the law by voting.

Great way to start women's history month 👏👏👏👏 TED Ed is just so amazing!!!
Where is women history month now lmfao
Thank you for this wonderful documentary. I appreciate your coverage of the internal conflicts too. It shows how we must look to our own assumptions and blinders in order to achieve true freedom. All of us.
And yet Saudi only allows women to vote in 2017😅😅😅 a 100 year old difference
Jeez that's late ☹
*2015 but yeah still late
OK, colonizer
And yet men still have to experience 63% longer sentence than women. No change at all
I am not defending them, but at least they never claimed to be democratic. The US constantly tries to police the world while oppressing its own people. Even as people fight for their rights in the US, there are those that might choose to do so on the backs of others. I don't think that the US can claim any sort of moral superiority, when its interventions in the Middle East have exacerbated so many of the ills people are suffering from.
Thank you to all the suffragettes.
Who are those people that stopped dragging their knuckles on the ground just long enough to use them to click "thumbs down" about this great and informative video? What was their problem with it?
People who hate feminism.
Even the early ones.
Amazing what women did to obtain rights for us back then. Many righteous movements start with angry women, women seeking freedom and justice.. And we're not 100% there yet, not equals yet. I hope soon.
Yet another great video! Keep it up Ted-ed!

I loved this so much! 😍 You guys make the best videos! And thank you for discussing women of colour and the difficulties they faced, often times in these stories they are left behind
I actually teared up at the cinematography, the animations, and thought that around 100 years ago half of the population, people with feelings and voices and thoughts just like you and me, were unable to have a single say in the way they would live. Thank you for the great video as always TED-Ed! :,)
In all respects, women all around the world struggled against prejudice and conventional concept of woman.
And it's currently going on
We, All WOMEN have rights not to be discriminated.
Awesome ... Thanks for this Wonderful documentary ... Loved it .. Graphics are awesome....
We all must overcome our own challenges and fight for our cause.. No one else is gonna do that for us!
Wonderful!
anyone who is looking for a good movie about this stuff (a little exaggerated in parts but relatively accurate) watch “iron jawed angels”
The movie Iron Jawed Angels is a good one and is about Alice Paul. The whole scene of the Parade with Ines marking the pace...is amazing. To bad that they did not show the Black Women discrimination side of the story.
Hello how are things going with you over there
Gosh, just a few seconds in and already there are so many people before me. But I don't think I should complain because it's TED-ED !!!
Happy women's history everyone rights to better place include women all men and women to vote in election.
Hello how are things going with you over there
Amazing video as always! I'm grateful for this, because the last that I've heard about these brave and determined women was in Horrible Histories.
All people deserve their rights.
I remember playing Cards against humanity and playing womens sufferage thinking that it meant Womens suffering
Everyone was laughthing except the guy, who actually knew what the word suffrage meant
We were all non-native English speakers though
lol
I will never understand how one human being can decide and assert that they're more deserving of a certain right or freedom than another human being. That goes for patriarchy, religion, racism, homophobia, and everything else that seeks to treat others as less human/objects.
For those interested in the American suffrage movement, there's a 2004 film "Iron Jawed Angels" about Alice Paul (played by Hilary Swank) and Lucy Burns (played by Frances O'Connor) and their critical role in the movement which resulted in the eventual the passage of the 19th Amendment.

How far we've come...
Thank you for the opportunity to work together on such an amazing project. It is a pleasure to work with you!
Excellent video. The west has truly prospered from the liberation of women. Perhaps a remark on the role of male "suffragents" in this process would have completed the picture.
Indeed, they were the ones who voted for women to have rights. But I suppose someone who come out and say that doing so would "re-center" the discussion back to white men.
People who try to stop others only make them stronger by the public eye.
Black women are strong then and now
As a white lad, I totally agree with you, y'all deserve to be treated like people and I hope you have a great day!
this is such a great way to tell people who dont know about the suffarages!! Thank you ted ed!!!
I love these videos b/c my students love these videos. Thanks Ted-Ed!
what confuses me is why were they not allowed to vote in the first place
Our history teacher showed this in class to take notes
oh man. i got goosebumps.
oiii those sound effects felt really good in my ears
Hello how are things going with you over there
It's sad how a video about women suffrage has one of the lowest views I've seen in a Ted Ed video
Gee I wonder why?
Hi TED-ED I'm new here big fan love the quotes before the video and the narrators
I had to watch this video for a college history class.
Azalea queens first thirteen amendments . Southern bells Freedoms. Women of color platforms for Liberty starts with the nineteenth amendment. THANK for the intel.
Hello how are things going with you over there
Awesome and informative video
I am glad Women legally have equal rights with men nowadays. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Depend where
All we have to do is wait for the people to catch up with the laws.
Some women don’t, and can’t speak or fight for themselves.
Karen let me see the children
I am glad, for the west but the east... I don’t know
Wake up women the year is now vote PH for president you have come along way do not drop the ball vote ❤❤
This is why I've always been a feminist. I was disgusted during history lessons and exams by how ladies were treated intellectually. They sure have come a long way and even though their battle isn't as hard as it used to be it still exists.
Winnie Mandela was separated from her children for 495 days under the apartheid system. History repeats. I stand on strong shoulders that belong to mama Winnie Mandela. I will fight to the end!!!
Its crazy how they work hard to educate and fight for the freedom they are aiming too..
I love Ted-ed. This vid and all of your vids are amazing!
Here for school.
Ted Ed can you do another myth video about Egypt
Can’t resist to click on a new ted Ed Notification
Like (my comment) if you also have tededophobia-irresistible clicking on a new ted Ed video
This is something to watch ❤
Alice Paul is one of the greatest human beings to ever live and I consider her a personal hero
Generally, before suffragists, it was rich people with land ownership that was allowed to vote, regardless of gender.
Ahh the good old days!
Dear Ted Ed, your graphics are simply superb. I learn a lot from your videos. Please do more videos on current problems. Please do more videos on India. All my brother and sister Indian please like my comment if you wish ted ed to make a series on India.
The music is too loud. I'd like to use with my students but they can't understand the speakers because of it. you should turn it down or avoid music completely.
I just don't understands racism, its just why do people think their skin color is more superior. Look at the egyptians 2000 years ago, they literally rule architecture. And then the greeks rule the knowledge game. Theres literally no superiority to any skin color. I just don't care
Your video made it seem like only men were opposed to women's suffrage, when that is not the case.

Really appreciate these historical figures!

Hello!!!!
@@hangar1767 Hola xd
Hey does anyone know why was it difficult for suffragists to secure broader support for political equality in the early twentieth century? I'm just wondering it's not for a school assignment or anything like that
Ah yes, the day women were invented.
Stonwall please!!!
Amazing!!!💕💕💕
The lady who led this wasn't that much less dense then the men of the time for being a racist but it was a victory for all women but I say the black women def had to fight harder they're mvps no doubt
Outstanding, inventive animation.

she's probably alive.
Here in argentins we had the first woman voter in 1912 with the Sáenz peña law
Imagine women leading the world......I bet it would have been more peaceful for sure!
My opinion is that if women ran the world there would be more battles but less wars, pick your poison. The reason for this is women tend to try tackling a dispute early before it gets out of hand. We men will let it build and fester.
Given that it is documented that European queens have started more wars than kings have... no.
You are just perpetuating sexist stereotypes that say women are inharently more docile than men. I can say in my 27 years existing on this planet that is not true. Women are just as likely to fall into the same pitfalls as men... They don't need raw strangth to ruin a person's life.
Ryan Swanson and then kill each other :)
Matthew Fox I don’t think am sexist at all, but given that there are studies that shows women live longer than men + are more careful, I imagine this whole world would have been taken care of more carefully I guess. Just a thought..
Imagine that the only requirements for people running the world were competency, intelligence, good will and experience? Not gender? 🤦
Wonderful video!
It's really weird to hear about the suffrage moving via a USA lens.
im watching this for girl scouts 😂
Hello everyone. Adooooooro.
Weren't womens rights first granted in new zealand?
Hello how are things going with you over there
I heard that this string of protest where highly criticized for having anti religious leaders and disenfranchising colored women
the dislikes are from people who _________
Btw in 1913 black women had to walk in the back or couldnt walk.

Your best video. I love this so much
Please make a video about the four horsemen of the Bible
The video was very Good
starting with the animations
and too the story 😍😍😍
⤵⤵
Yeah you're right.
@@nabhchandra_ Yeah 😂😂😂
Thanks for the educational video. It brought me to tears ❤️ 😢
Cool
I like the message, but the timeline is quite confusing. I suggest when telling historical events just tell them in chronological order. Hard to follow when you jump around.
Anyway, good quality overall. I appreciate all the videos on TED-ED.
