suffrage

suffrage for New Mexico was a big deal that didn't get fixed until 1920. New Mexico just happened to be the last state to do that. The Anglo women started a influential women's club. but they were very late to the game. they started this in 1890. just one group in New Mexico was not the best. women from different clans were left out. "The influential Catholic Church, openly opposed to women's suffrage in the 19th century, also tempered support for an early suffrage campaign."  This wasn't a great help to start more influential groups either.

even though New Mexico had its own suffrage, women from New Mexico focused on national suffrage politics rather then New Mexico's. "They say it is very difficult to get the Spanish ladies out, but as I have one on the program to speak in Spanish, I think they will come--and their husbands as well,'reported the CU's lead organizer, Ella St. Clair Thompson to Alice Paul in 1915." this was a way to get Spanish women to come. and not just Anglo women.  Her plan worked and Spanish women came.

Otero-Warren helped the women pass the "Susan B. Anthony"(19th amendment) "New Mexico women won full suffrage at last with the final ratification by the state legislature of the amendment in 1920." women were now aloud to vote. and they voted for everything. more citizenship,and population were going crazy. more people had started to vote and it goes to show that women can do anything if they put their mind on it.
