In 1912, she—on horseback—joined other suffragists as they marched down New York City's streets. Two years later, as a student at Barnard College, Lee wrote "The Meaning of Woman Suffrage," an essay where she argued that "woman suffrage. . .is the application of democracy to women." After graduating, Lee earned a Ph.D. in economics from Columbia University. After the 19th Amendment’s ratification in August 1920, Lee was still unable to vote. Many women of Asian descent in the U.S. were kept from becoming citizens and voting until laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act were repealed (1943) and the Immigration and Nationality Act was passed (1952). In our "Young People Shake Up Elections" video series, we explore Dr. Mabel Ping-Hua Lee's story to show how young people have reshaped elections throughout U.S. history, with or without the vote.
