Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "Where, under our Declaration of Independence, does the Saxon man get his power to deprive all women and Negroes of their inalienable rights?"

Answer: Susan B. Anthony

Susan B. Anthony(1820-1906) asked this on May 12, 1859 at the Ninth National Women's Rights Convention in Mozart Hall, New York City. At the opening of the convention Caroline Wells Healey Dall(1822-1912) stated their resolutions including one to "secure to women all those rights and privileges and immunities which in equity belong to every citizen of a republic."

Answer: Lucy Burns

After being arrested for the third time for picketing the White House, Lucy Burns (1879-1966) endured brutal treatment at the hands of the guards at Occoquan Workhouse where she was imprisoned. Afterward the women refused to eat for three days. The guards tried to tempt the women with fried chicken, but this was only viewed as an insult.

3. "The vote is the emblem of your equality, women of America, the guarantee of your liberty."

Answer: Carrie Chapman Catt

Carrie C. Catt (1859-1947) wrote this in "On Women Voting" published in 1920. Catt began her work for the National American Woman Suffrage Association in 1890 and continued in many different capacities until her death.

4. "The custom of calling women Mrs. John This and Mrs. Tom That and colored men Sambo and Zip Coon, is founded on the principle that white men are lords of all."

Answer: Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Stanton (1815-1902) always signed herself Elizabeth Cady Stanton or E. Cady Stanton, and refused to be addressed as Mrs. Henry B. Stanton throughout her marriage and eventual widowhood, believing that women were individual persons and should be addressed as such.

5. "I am so nervous I cannot eat or sleep. I am such a coward I ought to be a village seamstress, instead of a Woman's Party organizer."

Answer: Lucy Burns

Despite her spirit and continued defiance Burns(1879-1966) once said this to her close friend, Alice Paul(1855-1977). Together Paul and Burns formed the National Women's Party.

6. "The domination of man, the subjection of woman. My prevailing thought was contempt for that half of the human race that should submit to such degradation ..."

Answer: Isabella Beecher Hooker

Isabella Beecher Hooker(1822-1907) wrote this in an article entitled "The Last of the Beechers: Memories on my Eighty-Third Birthday" published in the "Connecticut Magazine", IX (May 1905).

Hooker's foray into the woman's rights movement began with writing "A Mother's
"Letter to a Daughter on Women Suffrage," which relied on the idea that, "women would raise the moral level of politics and bring a motherly wisdom to the affairs of government."

7. "I never could be good when I was not happy".

Answer: Julia Ward Howe

Julia Ward Howe (1819-1910) was the founder and president of the Association of American Women, a group which advocated for women's education, from 1876-1897. She also served as president of organizations the Massachusetts Woman Suffrage Association, the New England Suffrage Association, and the American Woman Suffrage Association.

8. "The best protection any woman can have ... is courage." Who said this?

Answer: Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Stanton's (1815-1902) "Declaration of Sentiments" that she presented at the first women's rights convention is often credited with initiating the first organized women's rights movements in the United States.

9. "As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal. Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel, his truth is marching on."

Answer: Julia Ward Howe

After Julia Ward Howe(1819-1910) and her husband visited Washington, D. C., and met Abraham Lincoln in November 1861, she was inspired to write "The Battle Hymn of the Republic."

Answer: Lucy Burns

By the time Tennessee became the thirty-sixth state to ratify the Anthony amendment on August 1920 Burns (1879-1966) had become bitter towards married women and all those who did not help them win their rights. She retired from political life and focused on the Catholic Church and her orphaned niece.
