Question

Did President Woodrow Wilson support a woman's right to vote?

Answer 1

Some of the jailed suffragists went on a hunger strike and were force-fed by their captors. Wilson, appalled by the hunger strikes and worried about negative publicity for his administration, finally agreed to a suffrage amendment in January 1918. One year later, Congress passed the 19th Amendment.

Answer 2

He gave lukewarm mouthsevice support until women's rights activists stood outside the Whitehouse and demanded suffrage until he passed the 19th amendment. In short, he didn't support it until he was forced to.
