Analysis Of The Women's Suffrage Movements

In the late 1800’s through the early 1900’s, women were not given the rights they have today and were being mistreated, but because of a few brave women who gave up their lives to fight for what they knew was right, this all changed. Many of these women were educated and brave, but were still denied their rights. Women have suffered through this long battle to get what they knew they deserved and took time out of their lives to fight for what they believed in, which was to have a voice. Women wanted to get the same respect that men were given. The women’s suffrage movement was not only in the United States, but it was all over the world. It took the women’s suffrage movement many years to work and come through, but women were finally able to vote and have the same rights as men. Through their work in the suffrage movement, Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Susan B. Anthony and many more changed the role of women in society.

Economically and socially the movement gained women more rights and privileges. The Women's Rights Movement granted women more political rights like property rights.

In 1921, women were granted suffrage, but suffragists were still hungry for more. Knowing that the right to vote would not eliminate sex discrimination in America, Alice Paul wrote the Equal Rights Amendment to step closer to equality. After half a century of struggle, women in America are still fighting for rights that men were given to when they were born. Even though women are just as intelligent, capable and hardworking as men, if not more, they are not considered an equal under the U.S. Constitution. Can you believe that today, in the 21st century, we still degrade women and treat them as inferiors to men? Can you believe that just because you are a woman, you are less than equal to the male population? Look around you, all those boys and girls are not equal to each other under our “just” country’s laws. As it is long overdue, the Equal Rights Amendment should be ratified because there is no other amendment that talks about sex discrimination, it would eliminate any inequality in regards to sex, and it would make the judicial stance on sex discrimination cases much clearer.

Over the past five hundred years or so in america as the overall majority in Mankind, women comprise of the largest group in the world, but they are a vital asset in every aspect of our society. Woman and women's rights are tied hand in hand with american culture, which entails in these rights that they're dependent of social status, race, and geography in america like civil rights in the south. There were different types of economic changes for the different types of ethiniticities in America in which there were different of turning point that women won over their sufferage through their racial discrimination, these included the native american women, hispanic american, african americans and the chinese american women of the united states.

Back in the mid 1800’s the first women’s convention was initiated by Elizabeth Stanton, along with others who founded the Women’s Suffrage Movement. After attending an World Anti-Slavery Society meeting, where the women were required to sit is a separate area away from the men, the women decided that they were little better than slaves and decided to do something about it. (Pearson, 2017)

America was founded on the principals on “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” (Declaration of Independence) with the promise that “all men are created equal” (Ibid) granted irrefutable rights by God. However, the same lawmaking men that wrote these words were the same men who could have instituted changes at the founding of this country. However, with monetary incentives and political greed as motivating factors they chose to continue with the standing conditions. Post American Revolution, there was a growing Women’s Suffrage movement in the early 1800’s. The Revolution itself was a battle cry for democracy and the promise that there

There are people, groups, and events that helped women gain equal rights as women. The Seneca Falls Conventions occurred in 1848 and Congress were introduced to the amendment granting women’s suffrage in 1878. (Document 3) After many women began to realize that their rights were limited, about 300 women and men came to the Seneca Falls Convention. The Seneca Falls Convention occurred on July 19 to 20 in the year of 1848. It was the first convention on women’s right and everything except women’s suffrage was approved.

Some women decided to take a stand.

The Federal Department of the Treasury announced on June 17, 2015 that a woman would be featured on a redesigned ten dollar bill, which is to be released in 2020, the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th amendment, which granted women suffrage. People consider both women’s suffrage and a woman to be featured on a monetary bill as victories for gender equality, however more obstacles lie in the path towards gender equality, obstacles such as pay inequality. Estimates by the US Department of Labor indicate that the average woman with the same profession as a man, both working under the same employer, are paid only 78 cents for every dollar the man makes. This is a problem for those striving for gender equality, and is sure to upset

As the American Empire expanded and the powerful nation forced social and political unrest across the world, a new era of progressivism irrupted within the country’s homeland and evolved to include political and social aspects.

With the expanding movement, specific groups and organizations collaborated to increase the pressure on politicians and society in general to force change. Of these groups, the women’s suffrage movement took center stage with rallies and parades: “At 3:20 P.M. on Monday, March 3rd 1913, 5,000 marchers who had descended on Washington

Equal rights has always been an apparent issue in the society of America. For centuries, women have taken on the role as property to their husbands and have lived quiet lives under the male control. Questionable amendments and laws such as the Equal Rights Amendment, or ERA, were created to provide equal opportunity to both sexes. The ERA was specifically created to provided absolute equal rights for women. Today, America is in desperate need of the Equal Rights Amendment due to the lack of rights in the Constitution regarding women’s rights, equal protection, and sex discrimination.

California women and men worked tirelessly to strengthen the women’s suffrage campaign from 1893, when the state legislature passed an amendment permitting women to vote in state elections, through the final passage of the amendment in 1911. The strength of the movements themselves, passionate support overcoming harsh opposition, pushed by the people and the organizations championing for the women’s vote were the main contributing factors which accumulated in the eventual passage of Amendment 8. Since California women have begun to vote, there have been many advancements and setbacks in the other women’s rights movements, including the Nineteenth Amendment and the Equal Rights Amendment.
