The “Women’s Suffrage: Why the West First?” lesson consists of seven activities that should be used together. Students develop a theory about how the western states influenced women’s suffrage. This lesson can be used either as a stand-alone unit or as a more specialized sequel to the EDSITEment lesson, “Voting Rights for Women: Pro- and Anti-Suffrage,” which covers the suffrage movement in general.
