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. Primary and secondary sources can be used in researching the economic impact of the women's movement. Quotes or interviews from the woman involved in the movement along with resources that expand on the evidence of that impact today. Search terms that I would use are "Economic impact AND the women's movement resources," or "social AND economic impact of women's movement," 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? The approval of the Nineteenth Amendment by Congress was a necessary cause for the success of the women suffrage movement because this vote was the first step towards equal rights for women. By giving women the right to vote it gave woman a voice and tipped the scale of equality between men and woman. 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's decision to support the U.S. entering World War I and encouraging women to support war efforts was a contributory cause because it showed their support of the country. 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?
The purpose of this site is to provide teachers with learning materials on woman suffrage for their students. The website is simple to locate and easy to manage. To narrow a search for information, there is a search bar. The information is reliable because there are primary and secondary sources from the time of woman suffrage. This website would be an appropriate site to use for research as it is from the Library of Congress, a trusted source. 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 (ACLU) sponsors the website. There is no navigation setup for the site and is not very modern looking. The information is not current as it cites the U.S. Census Bureau data from 2013. The main topic is equal pay, but they ask for donations for helping the fight in abortion care, trans people's right to live freely, and people's right to vote. This would not be an appropriate site to use for research because it is based on opinion. 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? In the document, references are provided at the footnote of each page and the writer utilized scholarly sources from the University of California as well as government sources. This article would be very a useful source for a paper examining the political sentiment in states that granted women the right to vote before the Nineteenth Amendment. It would not be
useful for an essay on woman suffrage. The point of the article is to argue that although women gained the right to run for the state legislature and Congress in 1911, they still faced many challenges. This is proven by the fact that no California woman won office until 1918, seven years after the state enfranchised women. Linda Van Ingen is a Professor of Women's Studies that specializes in the 20th Century United States, Race, and Gender, and Historical Methods and she works in the history department at the University of Nebraska, Kearney 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: Boston school desegregation Events: Desegregation of buses and school assignment changes People: Black, White, Students, Parents Time Period: 1974-1980 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? This source was quoted from the Platform of Principles of the American Federation of Labor from the Nation American Woman Suffrage Association. It was written to entice more people to join the movement. They used other endorsements to show it was more widely accepted than the reader may think. This poster could be encountered in many different places. It could be in grocery store, handed out, and posted on trees or poles.

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? Ultimately the source is biased in favor of the female gender. The phrase Women’s Suffrage in itself gives an expectation of some bias. The multiple endorsements of the movement create bias as it is used to persuade the audience to agree and give their support also.
