All Facets of Liberty

In all facets of Liberty, history judges the sum of all of our contributions. Even those individual contributions which might appear small at the time. All will reflect the Liberty of the future. Taking stands for a better life while honoring this great country, is exactly what the passage of the 19th amendment reflects.

Charlotte Woodward Pierce, an American citizen who in 1850, joined the American Woman Suffrage Association... and in 1871, active in the Association for the Advancement of Women, was the only one (of the sixty-eight women who signed the Declaration of Sentiments at Seneca Falls in 1848) who lived to see its passage. This Declaration, represented one tiny step towards the evolution of a then, much needed adaptation for
The Women’s Rights Amendment.

...”And whose conciliatory attitude toward all branches of the suffrage movement lasted until her death. In 1921, when she was 92 years old, she sent a trowel to the National Woman's Party, to be used in laying a cornerstone for the NWP's headquarters in Washington, D.C. The inscription read, "In memory of the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848: presented by its sole survivor, Mrs. Charlotte L. Pierce, in thanksgiving for progress made by women and in honor of the National Woman's Party, which will carry on the struggle so bravely begun." When observers took this as an endorsement of a party for women only, Woodward Pierce quickly clarified her views. The National Woman's Party, she said, "seems to be a woman's party. I do not believe in that. I think women should go into the existing parties." "My heart is with all women who vote. They have gained it now, and they should not quarrel about the method of using it."
