The woman would use the flag to symbolize the simple wording to understand the cause the public. After some of the women got arrested they continued to protest days after to show media that the women's rights were being violated by the government.  Resources mobilization: did not impact this as a pro if not a con for the reason that when they arrested for violation of abstracting traffic they had to pay a fee and didn't do it they prefer to go to jail. For the reason that they knew did not do anything wrong. Framing for the women's movements would be standing up for their right at all moment. They did the hunger strike to get their message across that would not stop if they did not give women rights. It was as a form, of give me liberty or give me death.  While, being in jail women sang a song demonstrating that they were together in the cause and had much more power and strength all together. After all 30 women got into the hunger strike and weeks later they were release of jail and the 19^th amendment pass.
