2, Describe how this view of government being hypocritical and how the words of Wilson led women to begin picketing in mass numbers at the White House. As more and more women were arrested, and jails began to become overcrowded, public outrage began to rise. Ultimately, public pressures forced authorities to free the women. Women's groups began working state-to-state, pressuring senators to support woman's suffrage. Their efforts resulted in the defeats of two incumbent senators. These things combined gained public and political support for the women's movement and also made politicians realize that the women's movement had political clout behind it. Less than a year after the senators' losses, the Nineteenth Amendment passed in Congress.
