1. I used data regarding Women Granted Suffrage Right's by state.

2. I got all of my data from this source https://www.thoughtco.com/womens-suffrage-timeline-by-state-3530520.  (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

This data was made in 2017 so I assumed everything was up to date and correct. It gave me a nice boxed table of every year that this country gradually gained a state that would have granted Women suffrage.

3. The hardest and first part was finding out what was a good idea or data set to find and work on, I figured that if I used a law passed it would make my workflow easier. The second part was importing and editing my shapefiles so that they would have the correct information from the research that I had found. The third part was changing the symbology around. Additionally the fourth part was simple as I just had to add map elements to make it look nice and neat. The last part was defining the search queries to make gifs out of and finally importing the images into the Gif maker.

4. The change is very simple as from 1726-1920 we see 5 rates of different states gaining Women's Suffrage. The drastic change however was from 1876-1900's time to 1900-1920 because at 1920 all state's had passed Women's suffrage.

5. The data and animation could possibly be improved if I had more states that would change based on my ranks. Maybe something more control able that could be done would be doing more ranks so you could see the year of every change at a faster rate to show more data. This however may confuse and be too much for the viewer.
