In year 1910 Senator Robert Owen passionately fought for the right of women to vote. In his struggle, he famously compared it to the fight for American Independence.
In his opinion, women made up half of all humanity and were equally involved in the development of a modern society, either by being a home marker or even working on the fields.
However, she received little recognition and did not fare well financially. According to him, the American Independence doctrine was ''all governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed'' but how can the United States be just, when it denies powers to half of all people living in the country.
According to him, for America to be just and a true democracy, it was evident that women should have an equal vote.
