Quote: In 1890, the rival suffrage organizations merged into the National American Suffrage Association. Although 1890 was the year Wyoming became the only state to give women the right to vote, in the period around the turn of the century women made little progress. Anti-suffrage activity was at its height, and movement leadership was in transition as the initiators died and a younger generation took over.
Question: What parallels can be drawn between this point and today's increasing reliance on millennials? The idea of a younger generation taking over, seems quite current. Is it that every new generation seems more 'radical' than the last? Are they more indoctrinated to believe in the social norms set before them? How are young women pursuing women's rights today and how is "feminism" becoming a widely accepted practice between males and females?
