Woman's Movement
On April 6, 1916, Nell Richardson and Alice Burke set out from New York to cross the United States stumping for the women’s right to vote. Traveling in the Golden Flyer, a yellow two-seater, the suffragettes embarked on a five month cross-continent trip across many dirt and gravel roads. Armed with a fireless cooker, hand sewing machine, typewriter, and a cat named Saxon, the women spoke tirelessly across the country to garner support and encourage women to attend parades at the 1916 Republican and Democratic National Conventions in Chicago and St. Louis.
Research this trip and create a story highlighting the stops the women made as they drove across the country to fight for the right to vote.
