Causes Of The Suffrage Cause

Thesis: The women’s suffrage movement effect many areas around America, including: social expectations, economic roles, and political positions.

Economically and socially the movement gained women more rights and privileges. The Women's Rights Movement granted women more political rights like property rights. It changed how both genders saw one another and themselves. But did it really give women and men equality? Did it really make everything better?

nyone know what the Women’s Suffrage is about? The Women’s Suffrage Movement is about the struggle for women to have equal rights as men such as vote, and run for office.What about the leaders of the suffrage? The most well known women’s rights activists were Susan B. Anthony, and Elizabeth C. Stanton. Does anyone know what amendment gave women the right to vote? The nineteenth amendment. The nineteenth amendment to the United States forbids any US citizen to be denied the right to vote based on sex. Who knows one of the first bills Obama signed once elected? The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which allows women to have equal pay for equal work, and to protect women from pay discrimination. I would like to inform everyone from the book I read such as, “Women of the Suffrage Movement” by Janice E, Ruth and Evelyn Sinclair about actions took, important leaders of the suffrage, and when women had equal rights. “Women of the Suffrage Movement” , by Janice E. Ruth and Evelyn Sinclair is relevant to american government, because it discusses american women not having equal rights as men to vote, or run for office. I plan to introduce the people of the suffrage, actions took, and events during the suffrage from the book in this analysis, and hope all have a clear understanding that women did not have equal rights as men and were treated differently based on their sex. Some men were against the right for women to vote or run for office because men believed women were inferior, and

Social injustice can range from anything such as; immigrants being depicted in the U.S, to a women getting yelled out by a man because of her social position. Social injustice can be seen all over our society. However, with the exception of some situations being greater then others, it can be agreed that social conflict is everlasting and ever-changing in our society.

Of all the issues that were in the middle of reformation mid 1800’s, antislavery, education, intemperance, prison reform, and world peace, women’s rights was the most radical idea proposed. The Seneca Falls Convention of 1848 was a rally held by Elizabeth Cady Stanton with the common goal to eventually achieve equal rights among all citizens. Frederick Douglass, who became an acclaimed activist in the African American Equal Rights movement, accompanied the movement. Moreover, The Declaration of Sentiments was a document that reflected the ideals of the Declaration of Independence, reiterating the sentiment from the Bible that “all men [and women] are created equal.” Concurrent to the publication of this document, for the first time, women insisted that they were men’s equals in every way. The Declaration of Sentiments was pivotal in Women’s history, although it was not given credit until the late 20th century. However, immediately after the Declaration of Sentiments was published, women and activist groups were inspired to take action towards rights for all underprivileged American citizens. The convention took place in a small town in upstate New York, which was home to four of the five people who organized the gathering. (DuBois, 1999, p. 45) This was the first time female equality was discussed in a public place. The Seneca Falls Convention of 1848 was one of the most important events in women’s rights history.

The fight for women’s suffrage went on for about seventy years. Crazy right? In the early 1800’s, women were considered second class citizens. The role that we see women have to was not nearly as close to the roll they had back then. A woman’s place was to be at home, baring children, taking care of the family and the home. They were not allowed to have any interest in anything but home and family; nor were they encouraged to pursue a career or have an education. Many women did not even have the right to own property. Women today would not be where they are if it weren’t for the women’s suffrage movement. The first fight for women’s suffrage started with the Seneca Falls Convention

What if you’ve been given a million dollars to spend, what would yo do with it? During the Progressive Era(1900), there were a lot of issues with Conservation, Women’s suffrage, Child Labor, and Food Safety where people were upset with the U.S. and the way they had to live, So on 1913 there is an opportunity to distribute $1,000,000 amongst three sectors. There’s an opportunity to distribute/donate to Conservation since the U.S. would pollute their land and cut trees which cause major environmental/natural issues. To add on there’s a chance to distribute/donate to women’s suffrage since during the 1900’s the U.S. had unequal rights for women, and women weren’t able to vote which causes major issues/Civil Unrest between the women of the U.S.

All through American history women have frequently asked and ordered the right to vote. Roughly, they were prohibited. One of the first recorded noting of the request for women’s voting advantages were from Abigail Adams, who was the first lady of the second president. She asked her spouse in a letter to not ignore the right to vote for women. She primarily said that if women cannot vote, then they would not have a reason to pursue the new legislation acts.

Did you know that women haven’t always been able to vote? They also haven’t always had the same rights as men. The U.S is a democracy but women knew that a democracy meant all the people could vote but in 1848 women were not allowed to vote. The U.S. was not respecting minority rights. Some women decided to take a stand.

Furthermore, it encouraged the election of Indian members to office by ensuring that covered jurisdictions could would use single-member districts, as opposed to at-large elections, when electing members to office. Therefore, by 1965 all United States citizens were given the right to vote, and the federal government undertook precautions to ensure that states could not disenfranchise people based on their race, religion, or gender.

Since the enactment of the nineteenth amendment, which granted women suffrage during the late 1920s, a woman’s role in society has drastically changed. Perhaps the most drastic shift occurred during World War II when women successfully integrated into the workforce after most of the nation’s men left for war. Fast forward to the 21st century and women are seen in almost any career previously deemed as a man’s job from an engineer, mayor, chief executive officer, and so much more. At the surface, it seems as if the United States has achieved complete gender equality, but that could not be further from the truth. Women certainly have the same opportunities as men in this country, but we do not have the same resources.

“The women worker need bread, but she needs roses too.”, Rose Schneiderman said back in 1911. Gender Inequality dates all the way back to the 1900’s. A lot happened in the 1900’s, like the fight for equality and what women did to get their rights. Today man and women are still fighting to make it right.

Women weren’t allowed have an education or get a job, also were not allowed to vote. The women’s movement was one of the biggest movement in history. This is the examples of the women did for the Women’s Suffrage Movement: he U.S. women’s suffrage movement had its roots in the abolition movement, the women’s rights movement launched its own fashion craze, a woman ran for political office nearly 50 years before women got the vote, Susan B. Anthony (and 15 other women) voted illegally in Rochester, New York in the presidential election of 1872; Anthony was subsequently tried and convicted of violating the 14th Amendment, the women’s suffrage movement in Britain was far more militant than its counterpart in the United States, dut some American

Over the past century, Virginia and the United States have encountered a number of drastic historical changes. As both men and women had the right to cast a vote in the most recent election, a little less than a century ago women did not have to right to vote. It was not until women throughout the United States came together to spark a suffrage movement that lead to congress passing the Nineteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution which provided women with the right to vote.

Suffragettes are, pardon my language, bloody wonderful. Isn't it inspiring seeing these strong women fight for the vote? It’s more than I can say about most men, that's for sure. Don’t even get me started on all these people opposing them, some of them are even women themselves! But these men opposing are absolutely ridiculous, and just proving my point that they’re as hysterical and stupid as they’re saying women are. But it’s the women in this matter that I don't understand, here are all theses marvellous suffragettes fighting on behalf of all women to get the vote, while these people who, quite frankly, don't have their priorities straight are going and practically ruining all this progress that these extraordinary suffragettes have made.
