Origin of article
editThis article was created as a split-off of the "Woman suffrage in individual states" section of the "Women's suffrage in the United States" article on 29 September 2014. Bilpen (talk) 21:05, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
edits
editHey guys, just letting you all know my partner and I are looking to add a section about women's suffrage and how it affected women's fashion. Do what you will with it once it is published.

Use of the phrase "The Mormon issue"
editThe first sentence of the section on Utah states "The Mormon issue made the fight for women's suffrage in Utah unique."
I wonder if it would be better to say "The prevalence of Mormonism in Utah made the fight for women's suffrage there unique."
"The Mormon issue" feels a bit conversational and assumes that people know what that issue is.
Such a fascinating facet of the history of this movement! ScoutHarris (talk) 15:07, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
Section on Virginia
editI am in the process of researching to expand the article on Lila Meade Valentine and it has inspired me to add a section to this article about women's suffrage in Virginia—it was a home to a fairly robust movement. --ScoutHarris (talk) 15:20, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
- I've put together a new article on women's suffrage in Virginia that I plan to link here, along with a brief synopsis—much like what you see on the Utah section. ScoutHarris (talk) 00:35, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
Adding a few links
editJust added some links throughout the article to others around Wikipedia—specifically to a few individuals and to each state mentioned to keep "linking behavior" consistent throughout. --ScoutHarris (talk) 17:57, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
Maryland in the South?
editI wonder if it would be more appropriate to rename the "East" section to "East Coast and New England" and then move Maryland to that section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ScoutHarris (talk • contribs) 21:19, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
