The Suffraging
Updated: Mar 10, 2022
Aletta Jacobs, 1883
In her attempt to vote The Doctor was rejected See the rich men full of gloat as they keep women subjected
The Supreme Court ruled “no” But the movement was stirring However, change was slow. The Takkians were preferring more rights for all men, but women were waiting for the hammer to fall Women’s suffrage, 1917-1919
Accompanied by socialists Women marched towards parliament Opposing the male chauvinist This fight would not be the end
Not all people in need were freed from the oppressive government. The Colonial territories pleaded to be treated as a friend and transcend racialized rules that were meant to condescend, and defend the white creed Universal suffrage, 1948-1949
The colonies were still bleeding as the Dutch were leading But more voting rights were obtained for those who remained restrained Universal suffrage was achieved after Indonesia was freed Municipal elections, 16 march 2022
We must not become astray
in disarray, and lose the past
which has brought us today:
A movement that will last
to blast the patriarchy away
