Entry 9

The 19th amendment gave women the right to vote, which is a form of affirmative action, where the law requires a group of people be able to do certain things they couldn't before. I chose this because I think its amazing that women didn't get the right to vote until the 1920's and even then they still were denied most of the time until women entered the workforce in masses during WWII.

This relates to course material because I feel this relates to Brodkins story of the Jews being able to move into white neighborhood because they were white. Finally in the 1920's women recieved the right to vote eventhough their male counterparts have been voting since the beginning of America. This fact comes as a surprise to think that white women weren't able to vote but black males (if they met certain stipulations) were able to.
