HIS 200 – Applied History
Module 3 Short Responses – Question 1 What types of sources could be used to research the economic impact of the women's movement? What about for its social impact? Develop relevant search terms.
I would use Primary sources to research the social and economic impact of the women's movement could be newspapers from the time, interviews from women who took part in the movement or a memoir/autobiography written by someone who lived during the women's movement. Secondary sources would include history books focusing on women's rights.
Some search terms I would use would be:
American Women's Rights 1920
The Social Impact of Women's right movement
Economic Impact of Women's right movement
Women's Rights American History
Module 3 Short Responses – Question 2 Congress held its final vote to approve the Nineteenth Amendment on June 4, 1919. Was this a necessary
or a contributory
cause of the success of the woman suffrage movement?
I think it was necessary to the success of the women's suffrage movement, allowing them to have an equal vote not only ensure future generations but also their mothers, sisters, daughters, aunts, grandmas to be treated fairly. Additionally, this vote was a huge step in the 'newer United States' Since it is essential in setting in motion other political movements, it is a Necessary cause. It set a path way for more change.
Module 3 Short Responses – Question 3 The National American Woman Suffrage Association supported the U.S. decision to enter World War I and publicly encouraged women to support the war effort. Was this a necessary
or a contributory
cause of the success of the woman suffrage movement?
The National American Woman Suffrage Association as well as many American women supported the decision to enter WWI is a contributory cause. There was no direct effect of any specific event that they took part in, however they did ensure the continuous running of factories etc, but they did successfully sway President Wilsons to adopt Women's Rights into federal law instead of leaving it with the states. This later contributed to congress's vote for women's suffrage.
Module 3 Short Responses – Question 4 Look at this website for information about women's suffrage at the Library of Congress: http://www.loc.gov/teachers/classroommaterials/primarysourcesets/womens-

suffrage. Using the A.R.I.A. criteria, answer the following questions:
What is the purpose of this website? Is the information on this website easy to locate? Can you use a search box or a navigational menu? How reliable and current is the information presented? Would this website be appropriate to use in a research paper?
This website is to help create a teachers guide on the Women's Suffrage Movement, allowing for an easy, teachable lesson full of vital information . The search box and navigation menu are easy to locate and use. Even though the information seems to be up to date and reliable I do not feel this information alone would be good enough for a research paper.
Module 3 Short Responses – Question 5 Look at this website about the Paycheck Fairness Act: https://www.aclu.org/equal-pay-
equal-work-pass-paycheck-fairness-act. Using the A.R.I.A. criteria, answer the following questions:
Who sponsors this website? Is it easy to navigate and find information? Is it modern looking? How current and accurate is the information on the website? Does it promote a specific opinion or point of view? Would this website be appropriate to use in a research paper?
The American Civil Liberties Union Sponsors this website. The site is simple with a few ads, with links to other relatable information. The information at the beginning of the page is from
a 2013 Census, as it is 10 years old it's not as up to date as it could potentially be. The website is promoting that pay should be equal across the board regardless of gender or race. The website takes a specific viewpoint, I think if the information was more relevant to us being in 2023 then it could be used as a source in a research paper.
Module 3 Short Responses – Question 6 Accuracy: Are references provided? Does the reference list include other scholarly sources?
Relevancy: Would this article be useful for a paper examining the similarities between political sentiment in states that granted women the right to vote before the Nineteenth Amendment? Would it be useful in an essay focusing on the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA), an activist group based in New York that was dedicated to nationwide woman suffrage?
Intent: What is the point of this article? Is the author making an argument?
Authoritativeness: What are the author's credentials? What about the publication's?
References are provided for this article. The sources used seem to be reliable, accurate and provide a scholarly account of information of Women's suffrage movement in California. Its focus is on the 1900's women's right to vote; so, yes, it would be a good comparative resource. I think it would be useful in a paper about the NWSA, but cannot be the an only source of information.
The authors argument allows us to have a better understanding struggles that women faced before the change of the 19th amendment. The author is a 'Professor of Women's Studies, 20th Century United States, Race and Gender, and Historical Methods in the history department at the University of Nebraska, Kearney.' By holding the title of professor she has a plethora of knowledge about the study of Women's Rights Movement and gives her the credentials for writing the article. The article was published by University of California Press and typically University publications are credible.
Module 3 Short Responses – Question 7 Building on the keywords you identified in Module Two: Approaches to History, continued, and the research of secondary sources you have done so far, what subjects, events, people, and time period are related to the topic you have chosen for your historical event analysis essay? Identifying these pieces will be useful as you search the primary source databases.
Subjects: My essay started with the Irish immigration to the USA, and the changes to religion. My next step was to research the differences between the different religions. I will explain how the American struggled to accept this new religion. Events: The events that stand out are mainly the Irish immigration from 1840-1920 and the impact this had on the American people.
People: Some prominant Irish immigrants helped mold the US to what they are today. The most important person is JFK, who was an Irish Catholic immigrant

Module 3 Short Responses – Question 8 1.
Who (either a single person or an organization) created this poster? Why did this
person or organization write it? 2.
Who is the intended audience? What methods does the creator(s) use to target this audience? How might the intended audience have encountered this poster? The NAWSA created this article, they created it to show which states endorsed the changes and part of the speeches that some of the men have said supporting their cause.
The intended audience I think were women, they would be able to see the support, and who was fighting for their cause. The intended audience would of seen this possibly in a new paper article.
Module 3 Short Responses – Question 9 1.
Can you detect any biases in this source? What words does the creator use that might point to his or her biases or assumptions? 2.
What biases might you bring to your interpretation of the source?
There is obvious bias in the poster. It is targeted towards the Women's Suffrage movement which is evident by the title of the poster "Women suffrage co-equal with man suffrage" is the keyword in the title. They are wanting to point out that women are equal to men.
My own biases may be that in my line of work, I am currently a recruiter for local government and out of the 16 member of staff there are only 2 men. This could be seen as women are more approachable when it comes to recruiting.
