Celebrate Women’s History Month: Meet Aaron A. Sargent

◼ Aaron Augustus Sargent (September 28, 1827 – August 14, 1887) was an American journalist, lawyer, politician and diplomat.

Sargent was elected as a Republican to the 37th Congress; skipped several terms and was reelected to the 41st and 42nd Congresses.

In January 1878, Senator Sargent introduced the 29 words that would later become the 19th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, allowing women the right to vote. Sargent’s wife, Ellen Clark Sargent, was a leading voting rights advocate, and a friend of such suffrage leaders as Susan B. Anthony. The bill calling for the amendment would be introduced unsuccessfully each year for the next forty years.

Susan B. Anthony, Republicans, and a Mother's Letter: The 19th Amendment's Road to Ratification

◼ Yesterday, we marked the anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment. Ninety-three years later, it’s easy to forget the long fight for the amendment—a struggle that spanned decades and ended with a mother’s last minute letter to her Republican son in the Tennessee legislature. - Sharon Day

The 19th Amendment was first introduced in Congress in 1878 by Republican Senator Aaron A. Sargent. He was a friend of Susan B. Anthony—another proud Republican—who had drafted the amendment with fellow suffragist Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

The Amendment languished in Congress for decades until 1919. In the 1918 election, Republicans won control of both chambers, and the next year the amendment passed both the House and the Senate, sending it to the states for ratification....

What we said 100 years ago: Law and logic on women far apart

◼ link - Wisconsin Journal Editorial from July 25, 1913

An English justice has held that a woman under the English acts is disqualified by sex from acting as an attorney or solicitor.

He admits that she may be a marshal, a constable, a champion of England, a sexton, a church warden, a workhouse governor, a returning officer, an overseer of the poor; she may even be QUEEN and by her absolute order behead men. But she cannot be a barrister, and she cannot vote.

How wide is the sea between law and logic.
