Beginning in the mid-19th century, several generations of woman suffrage supporters lectured,
wrote, marched, lobbied, and practiced civil disobedience to achieve what many Americans
considered a radical change in the Constitution. Militant suffragists used tactics such as
parades, silent vigils, and hunger strikes. The records of the National Archives and Records
Administration reveal much of this struggle."
