2. "At the time Wilson gave the speech (1890) which she so terribly misunderstood, women did not have the right to vote!"
Since I schooled you on Wilson's view of individuals vs. the collective, you are the one who "terribly misunderstood."
Didn't you want to thank me for educating you?
And, of course, you were oblivious to the fact that Republicans dragged Wilson to endorse suffrage.
He opposed same, as he did rights for blacks.
Wrong! So let's do some REAL schooling, kiddo:
Woodrow Wilson and the Women's Suffrage Movement: A Reflection | Wilson Center
Woodrow Wilson entered office at the pinnacle of the womenÂ’s suffrage movement in 1913. Many historians say that President WilsonÂ’s support for womenÂ’s suffrage was lukewarm at best, but the president, remembered by many as a moral crusader dedicated to the fervent ideals that intend to make the world a better place, did undergo an ethical metamorphosis after which he lent his support to womenÂ’s suffragists and actively fought on their behalf.
In 1917, suffragist picketed outside of the White House demanding WilsonÂ’s support extend beyond what they deemed as mere lip service for the cause. While at first largely peaceful, the protests later turned violent resulting in the detention of several women who then protested their incarceration with hunger strikes. Wilson was appalled when he discovered that many of these women were being force fed in the prison and finally stepped in toward the fight for womenÂ’s enfranchisement, finally joining his daughter, leading suffragist Jessie Woodrow Wilson Sayre.
As I said, you can thank Wilson for your right to vote. He put his money where his mouth was, demonstrating that "mere lip service" to our country's ideals was not good enough and had to backed by action and laws.
Giving you the beatings you deserve has gotten to be a guilty pleasure for me.
Let's begin here:

It was a Republican who introduced what became the 19th Amendment, women’s suffrage. On May 21, 1919, U.S. Representative James R. Mann (1856-1922), a Republican from Illinois and chairman of the Suffrage Committee, proposed the House resolution to approve the Susan Anthony Amendment granting women the right to vote. The measure passed the House 304-89—a full 42 votes above the required two-thirds majority.

2. The 1919 vote in the House of Representatives was possible because
Republicans had retaken control of the House. Attempts to get it passed through Democrat-controlled Congresses had failed.
3. The Senate vote was approved only after
a Democrat filibuster; and 82% of the Republican Senators voted for itÂ….and 54% of the Democrats.
4. 26 of the 36 states that ratified the 19th Amendment had
Republican legislatures.
5. Two weeks later, on June 4, 1919, the Senate passed the 19th Amendment by two votes over its two-thirds required majority, 56-25. The amendment was then sent to the states for ratification. Within six days of the ratification cycle, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin each ratified the amendment. Kansas, New York and Ohio followed on June 16, 1919. By March of the following year, a total of 35 states had approved the amendment, one state shy of the two-thirds required for ratification. Southern states were adamantly opposed to the amendment, however, and seven of them—Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, South Carolina and Virginia—had already rejected it before Tennessee's vote on August 18, 1920. It was up to Tennessee to tip the scale for woman suffrage.

6. The outlook appeared bleak, given the outcomes in other Southern states and given the position of Tennessee's state legislators in their 48-48 tie. The state's decision came down to
23-year-old Representative Harry T. Burn (1895-1977), a Republican from McMinn County, to cast the deciding vote. Although Burn opposed the amendment, his mother convinced him to approve it. (Mrs. Burn reportedly wrote to her son: "Don't forget to be a good boy and help Mrs. Catt put the 'rat' in ratification.")
With Burn's vote, the 19th Amendment was ratified. Certification by U.S. Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby (1869-1950) followed on August 26, 1920.

7. The National Women's Party led by Alice Paul became the first "cause" to picket outside the White House. Paul and Lucy Burns led a series of
protests against the Wilson Administration in Washington. Wilson ignored the protests for six months, but on June 20, 1917, as a Russian delegation drove up to the White House, suffragettes unfurled a banner which stated; "We women of America tell you that America is not a democracy. Twenty million women are denied the right to vote.
President Wilson is the chief opponent of their national enfranchisement".[24] Another banner on August 14, 1917, referred to "Kaiser Wilson" and compared the plight of the German people with that of American women. With this manner of protest, the women were subject to arrests and many were jailed.[25] On October 17, Alice Paul was sentenced to seven months and on October 30 began a hunger strike, but after a few days prison authorities began to force feed her.[24] After years of opposition, Wilson changed his position in 1918 to advocate women's suffrage as a war measure.[26]

a. During the 1912 presidential campaign against Theodore Roosevelt, Wilson and his opponent agreed on many reform measures such as child-labor laws and pro-union legislation.
They differed, however, on the subject of women's suffrage, as Roosevelt was in favor of giving women the vote.

Republicans led the fight for womenÂ’s rights, and most suffragists were Republicans. In fact, Susan B. Anthony bragged about how, after voting (illegally) in 1872, she had voted a straight Republican ticket. The suffragists included two African-American women who were also co-founders of the NAACP: Ida Wells and Mary Terrell,
great Republicans, both of them.
Republican Senator Aaron Sargent wrote the womenÂ’s suffrage amendment in 1878,though it would
not be passed by Congress until Republicans again won control of both houses 40 years later. It was in 1916 that the first woman was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, Republican Jeannette Rankin. The first woman mayor was elected in 1926, the Honorable Bertha Landes of Seattle, another great Republican.
