THE SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT The suffrage movement traces its origin to the 19th century and culmination in 1920 following the Nineteenth Amendment of the US Constitution through which the women folk were granted the right to vote1. Interestingly, however, it is around the times of the Amendment which saw the rifest backing to the anti-suffragism crusade2. The ‘Antis’ movement was primarily entrenched in the need to parade the feebleness of the women fraternity beyond their old-style roles, widespread partialities and the fear of change. According to most of the anti-suffragism arguments, the women’s suffrage movement strongly prompted deep-seated feminism eventually undermining the traditional social order and gender roles3.

Art is an expression of the human senses, and some scholars have pointed out that art could simply be an illustration of what happens in the human mind.

Other scholars have argued that art has been a medium through which evolution has been depicted. Even…

The building is significant, and so are the poster reading AMC on the premise that ushers a person in. On its inside, the theatre is designed to display an aesthetic aspect that is not…
