Process Paper
Harriet Beecher Stowe was a young woman who in her 30's to 40's
protested for women's voting in the late 1800's. Because of her hard work
writing books and protesting, people in America now have the right
and responsibility of voting despite their gender.
Our topic for National History Day is Harriet Beecher Stowe protesting
for women's right to vote. We chose this topic by searching "Human Rights" on
Google and we looked at all of the rights that humans have. We narrowed our choice
down to either the women's right to vote, or the right to bear arms. Then when
we started looking for sources, we found there was more information available to us
for the topic about women's right to vote.
We started our research by coming up with questions to answer. Some of
them were "What did people think of not having the right to vote?" or "Why
didn't women have the right to vote in the first place?". When we started researching,
we decided to narrow it down to one protester in particular. After finding many
women, we chose Harriet Beecher Stowe. Then we started looking for pictures of people
protesting, letters Harriet wrote to people, newspaper articles, or any
information we could find about her life. We learned a lot about her just looking at a few websites,
for example; she wrote a book called Uncle Tom's Cabin, that she wrote
letters to people about protesting, and that she was 85 when she died. She was 30 to 40 when
she began protesting.
For our presentation, we are doing a website. We chose this kind of
presentation because we like working with computer, and we wanted to use our
creativity. We used Weebly Website Maker to create this page.
Our topic relates to this year's History Day theme, Rights and Responsibilities because
Harriet Beecher Stowe took on the responsibility of helping women gain the right to vote, no
matter how hard it was.
