PRIMARY SOURCES
National Organization for Women (NOW). "'Bill of Rights for Women'." National Organization for Women, Inc., Washington DC. American History Online. Facts On File, Inc. http://www.fofweb.com/activelink2.asp? (Accessed November 13, 2013). This is an historical document written by the National Organization For Women in November 1967 at its second national conference held in Washington, D.C.. This document is called the Bill of Rights for Women and was delivered to the 1968 Republican and Democratic platform committees and to all candidates of the 1968 Congress Election. This speech included all the rights that the women in this organization demanded to have. This relates to my website because it allows me to have a broader understanding of the different rights these women wanted, not just the right to vote.

National Organization for Women (NOW). "National Organization for Women (NOW) Statement of Purpose." National Organization for Women, Inc. Washington DC. American History Online. Facts On File, Inc. http://www.fofweb.com/activelink2.asp? (Accessed November 13, 2013). This is a historical document created by the National Organization for Women (NOW) that stated the purpose of their organization. In 1966 this statement was released and included all the goals of the organization and what they stood for. This document provides a precise and to the point overall purpose for this organization so that I can better understand what NOW wanted to see changed in their society.

Anthony, Susan B. "Petition to Congress Requesting Women's Suffrage." In Frost, Elizabeth, and Kathryn Cullen-DuPont. Women's Suffrage in America: An Eyewitness History. New York: Facts On File, Inc., 1992. American History Online. Facts On File, Inc. http://www.fofweb.com/activelink2.asp? (Accessed November 25, 2013). This historical document is extremely important to American history because it was one of the major causes of the right for women to vote. Susan B. Anthony wrote this petition to congress effectively requesting the right for women to vote using evidence and reasoning to support her request. This contributes to the making of my website because it shows just how badly women wanted their right and their reasoning behind it.

U.S. Congress. "Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution." In Todd, Lewis Paul, and Merle Curti, eds. Triumph of the American Nation. Orlando: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1986. American History Online. Facts On File, Inc. http://www.fofweb.com/activelink2.asp? (Accessed November 25, 2013). This is another very important document that still effects the U.S. today. This is the amendment passed in 1919 that gives women the right to vote and what is in todays U.S. Constitution. This is very important to the making of this website because it shows the ending result and the lasting effect that the women involved in this movement had on the nation today.
