Module 3 Short Responses -- Question 1
What types of sources could be used to research the economic impact of the women's movement? What about for its social impact? Develop relevant search terms.
In order to understand the impact of the women's movement, it is extremely beneficial to utilize both primary and secondary sources. For a better understanding of social impact, it's best to use a primary source. Relevant research terms could be, Women's suffrage, history of the 19th Amendment, or Women's rights.
Module 3 Short Responses -- Question 2
Congress held its final vote to approve the Nineteenth Amendment on June 4, 1919. Was this a necessary or a contributory cause of the success of the woman suffrage movement?
I believe it was contributory because if not for that final vote, there is a chance the 19th amendment either would've never come about or would've taken longer to pass.

The National American Woman Suffrage Association supported the U.S. decision to enter World War I and publicly encouraged women to support the war effort. Was this a necessary or a contributory cause of the success of the woman suffrage movement?
The National American Women's Suffrage Association supporting the US's decision to enter World War I was contributory because that support played no crucial role in the ending of women's suffrage.

While I don't think this site can be used for students to do research, I do think this s a great site for teachers to build a lesson plan to teach their students about women's suffrage. The website is easy to navigate, and it contains original documents and photographs that would consider it a primary source. The site being a primary source makes it reliable. As far as currency, there is no indication of how often to site is updated to answer that question.
