Then, write a letter exchange or spoken dialog between two women in 1920 on opposite sides of the women’s suffrage issue. Creatively explain who the women are and how they are related. Perhaps they are a mother and daughter, two friends, pen pals, or sisters. Regardless of their relationship, they are on opposite sides of this issue. Write a dialog in which each woman attempts to persuade the other to change their mind on the issue of suffrage. Write either at least 4 short letters (minimum 1 paragraph each) or 300-400 words of dialog for each perspective (600-800 total).
Include a properly formatted Chicago-style cover page.
Cite all references in Chicago Manual of Style footnotes. For this assignment you probably will rely more on paraphrasing rather than direct quotes. Nonetheless, be sure to include a footnote to indicate places in your dialog that were inspired from sections in the primary sources.
NO sources may be used for this assignment other than the textbook and the two primary sources provided.
