American Women Marginalization

Sarah Margaret Fuller, America’s first true feminist, was born in Cambridgeport, Massachusetts on May 23, 1810 to Timothy Fuller and Margaret Crane Fuller. Her father was a lawyer and congressman while her mother had a short teaching career. Margaret Fuller was born in a time period were women were raised to be well-cultured and obedient. On the other hand, Fuller was the opposite she was known to be assertive and a freethinking. She was the first women to be allowed into the all men library of Harvard University and later on to graduate from the university. Fuller is known today mainly as a transcendentalist, she surrounded herself with philosophers like Emerson and Henry David Thoreau because they shared similar believes and ideas of a new way of thinking (Allen 1981) .

The discussion that has debates like no other is that of feminism, either you are for it or against it, but could there be more to the black and white that has been created? We live in a country that is said to have equal opportunities for all, often using this as an insignia to push our standards upon others. In order to understand and approach the topic of feminism, I have to understand what is feminism exactly and how is it perceived; just because we think we know what something is, does not mean that is how it is perceived socially.

For centuries women had had to bow to men they were taught never to speak unless called upon or spoken to. That their sole purpose in life was to be a homemaker; a servant to the men in their lives fathers, brothers, sons. As time progressed women began to fight for their right to receive equal rights, education and vote. But that wasn’t enough in the year 2013 women still made eighty cents to every man’s dollar but that all changed one day. Women who were sick of being oppressed had risen up against the male chauvinism within society of the united states.The first measure was to take all men out of all positions of decision-making power immediately, and of any kind of social, professional position whatsoever. The men of society were

Retired women are twice as likely as retired men to live in poverty. Although many people believe that the United States doesn’t fit into the category of unequal rights for women because of the rights women in the United States have compared to the rest of the world, that thinking couldn’t be farther from the truth, since the United States culture and the world culture around women is not favored towards women.

In the movie, the producer discussed about the struggle women, which includes minorities women had to face in America such as cratering for the family, working, and at the same time treated like they were nobody in the society. The ladies with low income rate had to live with cheap cloths and bedroom with no windows. Likewise, there was no law or rules that prevent men from attracting the ladies who decided to protest against the action. It was a patriarchal society. Most women worked at the Triangle short way factory and the men made sure the ladies worked very hard and was pay low wages. Also, the producer analyzed that the women and children were locked in the factory and none of them were able to leave until their hours were completed.

Women from America have equal rights but sometimes are treated unfairly so one can only imagine the struggle of how Afghan women are treated when the come to America. Although women from Afghanistan who come to America may not be treated fairly or equally all of the time, they are still better off in America than Afghanistan, even before the Taliban seized power. In Afghanistan, married women are often seen as property and can be treated as property by their husbands as well; this also means that they have no voice or freedom to be themselves. While this unfortunately happens in America, sometimes Afghan women who come to America have more freedom and have the ability to be independent and make their own choices. The noticeable absence of women

Patriarchy is a term that can be described as male dominance, making women inferior to men. Men and women always played in different roles in society, which causes controversy if we still live in a patriarchal system today. Men were always seen to be the alpha males and breadwinners of the family to ensure there was a steady income while women were known to be housewives taking care of the family. Being a woman in America has brought so much awareness to oppression and how women have been oppressed by men for years. Black women have been oppressed by white supremacy and they are constantly being stereotyped. “Women are animals, less than human, unable to think like men, born merely to breed and serve men.” Oppression can cause radical conflicts

The United States has a growing problem with women in the criminal justice system. There has been a dramatic increase of women since the 1980’s. In addition, the increase of women has brought mothers into the equation. Pregnant mothers who are allowed to keep their newborn while incarcerated has been theorized to have many positive results. Including a higher chance of a positive reentry, allow bonding time between the mother and her child, and easing the pain of their incarceration. Laws vary from state to state, making it hard for parents in prison to get visitation time. The main focus will is that these rights should be given to all parents within the United States prison system. Granting mothers with newborns and other inmates’

As our nation explodes in political hypocrisy and human rights are being questioned, "women" are standing-up and fighting for the rights of all "humans". On January 21, 2017, a day after Donald trump's inauguration, women from all over the world and from all backgrounds (doctors, artist and religious leaders) put on a theatrical performance in the form of marches and rallies. “Tamika Mallory, one of the four national co-chairs of the march, stated she was involved in the women march on Washington because sometimes we forget this power, we doubt ourselves, and separate ourselves by race, religion or sexual orientation, we forget about the power of numbers . . .”; She also stated we must stand against men who, “assault us and brag about grabbing it without necessary repercussions

The ideology that I believe will most likely improve in the United States is feminism. I say this because we have seen improvement pertaining to this ideology within the last decade. Women are gaining respect and becoming authority figures in today’s society. They are climbing the corporate ladder and achieving a pay increase. The principles of the feminism that I considered when deciding that feminism will most likely improve are (1.) Women, no matter who they are, should have equality with men and should have as much independence as men have, (2.) The concept of patriarchy, in which men hold superior positions over women needs to stop, and (3.) Men and women should receive equal wages holding the same position in the workforce. All these concepts have improved, but there is still need for advancements within these categories to meet the needs and want that pertain to the feminist ideology.

The American women served many roles. Some of which include nurturing, friendship, companionship, farmer and rancher, and housekeeper. Being a farmer and rancher was of great work. “Peace attended their labor; and they had nothing to alarm them, save the midnight howl of the prowling wolf, or the terrifying shriek of the ferocious panther, as they occasionally visited their improvements, to take a lamb or a calf to satisfy their hunger” (Seaver, (1992), p.63). As farming and ranching was the man way of life for those who lived in the rural areas, these American women needed to be on watch for their land and livestock when the men weren’t around. Along with this, these American women still served as the role maker for their other roles. They

Oceania is the vast swath of the South Pacific islands that lie beyond Southeast Asia. Divided into regions in 1831 by “geographical, racial and linguistic distinctions” by the French explorer Jules Dumont d’Urville (Kliener, p. 1104). While the islands were discovered by Europeans in the 16th century, it is clear that these Oceanic cultures and people existed far in advance of their discovery. Kliener states that these cultures and people “inhabited the islands for tens of thousands of years” (p. 1104). Expansive exploration and migration brought explorers to these islands through the 19th century, the likes of which caused various types of turmoil for the local people. While colonization and exploration caused riffs for the locals, it also

as entering the 21st Century they already had more rights and possibilities than before but still they were struggling for opportunities of full participation and representation in all life areas

Paid work for women moved from principally customary female-situated employments to all the more non-conventional and already male-arranged vocations. Ladies ' support in the workforce prompted them to start careers in the field dominated by male in the 20th century. Career yearnings were affected by elements, such as sexual orientation, financial status, race, occupation and instruction level, and parental desires. This paper exhibits how women developed, changed and the challenges they faced in the 20th century in America in the workforce and the advancement of ladies ' careers, improvement and profession goals during the 20th century in United States. Also, gender issues affecting women will be discussed in details during this period and how women played their role in fighting for their rights.

We’ve been conditioned since childhood to believe that one woman’s success is another woman’s failure. When one woman gets the job, another doesn’t. When one woman gets the guy, another doesn’t.
