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. What types of sources could be used to research the economic impact of the women's movement? The U.S. Beuro of Labor Statistics, which was founded in 1884, should have plenty of information about the employment of all people. Economic reports from the selected years could also be of great benefit, as well as GDP. What about for its social impact? Transcribed speeches, relevant court cases decided by jury, pamphlets, diaries, and newspaper articles. Develop relevant search terms. NWSA newspaper article, AWSA newspaper article, WRM pamphlet, Women's Rights Movement, Women's Suffrage Case, Women's Rights Demonstration. 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? This is a necessary cause. Without a final vote of approval, the amendment would not be approved, therefore it is a necessary cause for the suffrage movement. 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? This is a contributory cause. While it certainly had its own value to the event, it was not necessary for it to happen in order for the events to occur, as the war was not directly caused by or done in the name of 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? What is the purpose of this website? As stated in the FAQ on the website, it is to serve as the research arm of the United States Congress as the National Library. Is the information on this website easy to locate? Yes. As a library, it is designed with ease of access of information. Can you use a search box or a navigational menu? Both are present and are not deficient in their function. How reliable and current is the information presented? Variable depending on the specific source retrieved from the library as it hosts a very large collection of works spanning thousands of years, making any question of reliability and currentness on each individual work rather than on the library as a whole. Would this website be appropriate to use in a research paper? Yes, that is part of its design. The sources within are explicitly stated as "...a great resource for scholars and researchers." on their FAQ page. 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? Who sponsors this website? Private donors and members, it is a non-profit organization.

Is it easy to navigate and find information? Yes. It has both a set of topics as well as a search function. Is it modern looking? Yes, although website design has become more accessible making this question increasingly less relevant. How current and accurate is the information on the website? It is frequently current and often accurate. Because it is not always the primary source, it is worthwhile to double-check any provided information. Does it promote a specific opinion or point of view? Yes, the intended goal of the American Civil Liberties Union has a very direct set of goals and points of view which they make abundantly clear. Would this website be appropriate to use in a research paper? With acknowledgment of bias when necessary, yes. It may often not be a primary source for a specific topic, but it can often serve as a secondary source. 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? Accuracy: References are provided, and other references are scholarly resources, however, the author cites their own PhD dissertation. Relevancy: 1) It would be supremely useful for examining political sentiment in states that granted women the right to vote before it was federally passed. 2) It would be less useful but relevant to researching the NWSA depending on the lens through which you are examining the topic.

Intent: The intent of the article is to argue that the principles existing in the state of California in the early 1900s which allowed for significant progress in Women's Suffrage had a large amount of blowback as a result of expending such an extreme amount of political capital for it to happen. Authoritativeness: The author has a PhD in the relevant field and actively teaches the subject. The publication is Pacific Historical Review from Portland State University and has been running for almost a century. 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: Intelligence, Eugenics, Forced Sterilization. Events: Buck v Bell People: Carrie Buck, John Bell, William Taft, Oliver Holmes Jr., Willis Devanter, James McReynolds, Loius Brandeis, George Sutherland, Pierce Butler, Edward Sanford, Harlan Stone. Time Period: 1905-1927 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? 1. The National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWS) created this to create awareness for their movement and give it more momentum. 2. The target audience was men, particularly those who belonged to unions. The names of those quoted are famous union organizers of the time. The intended audience would read this short set of quotes and realize that the people they may entrust a great deal in to organize labor in their favor are saying that it is in their interest that women also be included in these deals equally while also trying to relay the feeling of disenfranchisement to men. 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? 1. No work is free of bias, such a thing is inhuman, even this question harbors some as "his or her" flows poorly and reinforces binary gender whereas "their" remains gender neutral (the intent) without breaking flow or accidentally reinforcing ideas the author may not support on top of being generally easier to read. In the case of the question proper, other than the blindingly obvious bias for suffrage, there are some other interesting biases. For example "There are 300,000 Working Women in New York" is a statement that strikes me as odd if it was not for their audience, as working is not a prerequisite to being a citizen or having rights and is irrelevant and is only of interest to those who harbor classist tendencies (ex. "working class"). 2. I would inevitably bring modern theories and interpretations of multiple forms of politics and movements. For example, I have a strong bias in favor of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer Intersex Asexual Pansexual (LGBTQIAP+) community and would show how some of the same struggles that people go through to try to gain acceptance for their rights persists through a large span of American history.
