Hi Everyone! Well I did a quick scan of the page and was wondering if there would be any objection as to the inclusion of material such as the passage of the Reconstruction Amendments that sought to secure the right to vote for males only? I didn't see this concept really expanded upon within the page and figured that it would help explain where the racism of white suffragists came from. Thanks!U21980 (talk) 01:05, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

To give an example, the marginalization of African-American women did have origins earlier than 1890. U21980 (talk) 01:08, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Following that idea, it is pretty well-known that white women did manipulate their arguments in order to gain support by stating that the inclusion of white women into political life, would protect white men from the votes of their African American counterparts.U21980 (talk) 01:12, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Links to Other Pages

I noticed under the "See also" Section that there were a few dead Wiki links included. Unless someone commits to taking the initiative in creating these pages, should they be included in that list as Wiki links? — Preceding unsigned comment added by U21980 (talk • contribs) 01:10, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction

Another area of this article that I was thinking of revising included the introduction, which I feel should try to list some approximate dates as to the start and eventual end of the African-American Suffrage Movement. In a way, we could also contrast those dates with that of the mainline white suffrage movement. Any ideas? U21980 (talk) 19:42, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Typos

Firstly, being a white male who is empathetic but not particularly up on this hightly focused subject, I would not wish to actually go in and edit. I would prefer to simply point out something that I THINK is a typo (haven't had my coffee yet this morning.)

In the last paragraph of "Marginalizing African American women" There is this confusing and probably typoed sentence, "During the two years that she spent in prison, Davis read, to wrote essays on injustices, and prepared as co-counsel for her own defense." Is it meant to read, "Davis read, to write..." OR "Davis wrote..." OR "Davis read and wrote..." OR "Davis read in order to write..."? Crgrove (talk) 13:54, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, everybody! I came across this page looking for articles that needed some improvement, related to Women's History. Would there be any issues if I wanted to do some research and improve this article?

A few cited articles I'd like to use.

There is not enough info on this page at all it should be expanded and furthered if it is to be useful to any anyone looking for info on this.

For example there not a one direct reference to the white feminists movements purposely and actively stopping the progression of the black woman's suffrage to further their own suffrage and limit the rights of black and other races to postpone their rights as long as possible because of their own prejudice and hate themselves, on top of this there is next to none info on the modern incarnation of this and otherwise encapsulates it as such that it is no longer relevant to today's society and makes it seem as if it's long and passed and and has died, rather than the re-embodied in other forms today, that info is what intersectionality covers and should be included in this too.

I agree this article needs more information, but I would like it to not only focus on the ideas and laws regarding the history of the African-American suffrage movement but also include how different people influenced it too. Many people are named in the earlier portion of the article, but then never referenced. Jooojay (talk) 18:31, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
