This ended the women's suffrage movement which Elizabeth Cady Stanton and others began over 70 years earlier. A new organization was created to help women use their right to vote wisely. That organization was called the League of Women Voters. The League is still active today educating its members about important political issues and telling elected officials how League members want them to vote. Joining the League of Women Voters is a good way to learn more about government in the United States.
Membership is open to both men and women.
There are many groups in the U.S. which began as clubs for men only. Rotary International has both male and female members today, but that was not always true. For example, Rotary Clubs often give college scholarships to high school students, sponsor exchange students, and help school children with special programs. In the U.S., there are many organizations for children. Camp Fire Boys and Girls, ages 5 to 18, meet in clubs which plan their own activities, such as hiking, outdoor cooking, and arts and crafts projects.
