Denis Diderot: A World Of Ideas

Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucy Stone created one of the first organizations in New York, 1848. (Lewis B.R. Women at War: the women of World War 2; at home, at work, on the Front Line) The goal of this movement was to bring attention to the public about restrictions against women and to address the issues regarding equality between men and women. However, the main goal was to earn themselves the right to vote. These women promoted their ideas and concerns by speaking in girl schools and in public as well as participating in the hostings of parades around the White House. All of the women’s information was beginning to influence others, therefore, they received support from people outside of the movement. Finally, after all of the fighting women did to gain liberation, the government passed the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920 which granted women a right to vote.

As the United States kept on expanding, it started to face many problems. Education was vital in the 1800’s. The citizens of America wanted to establish schools which would educate the next laboring generation. A lot of people, as well as Horace Mann thought that all children had the right to go to school and get an education. This then brought up the problem of free public schooling for all kids. A bad side of this was African-American and Irish Catholic people were left out of this opportunity that started a little hypocrisy. This made the opportunities for women even stronger. Emma Willard, Catharine Beecher, and Mary Lyon were important to this battle. The reason for the movement is to offer an education to everyone despite level of class,

Johannes Brahms was a German composer who is sometimes grouped as one of the “Three B’s” along with J.S. Bach and Beethoven. His music was influenced by the structure used by Mozart and Haydn, while also moving them into the Romantic era. Brahms had a wide influence, encompassing both modernist and conservative tendencies.

From the 1880’s to the 1920’s, the Progressive Era was a period in American history where women’s suffrage gained the most momentum. Due to justified Progressive Era reforms and the creation of various organizations during this time, women were able to successfully protect people who were, for example, immigrants, poor, and African Americans belittled by the norms of society. With the full participation of American women, they exercised their full rights as citizens to create public institutions and shape public policy. Redefining the social structure, these middle-class women received support from other women which essentially led to changes of the rights of and treatment of American women in society. Thwarted by a male-dominated society, pleas for better treatment and equal rights made by women in the forms of protests, conventions, parades, and speeches, were often seen as foolish and meaningless. However, women’s unrelenting efforts combined with the atmosphere of reform resulted in positive outcomes such as the right to vote, the creation of new educational opportunities, and the introduction of better working conditions for women, which drastically impacted the way women apply themselves in society today.

They couldn’t have a public voice and once a man married a woman he got all her rights (legal concept of coverture). If a woman wasn’t married most of the time she had to give her earnings and control to legal affairs to male relatives. Woman started becoming abolitionists and even though they were part of the start of the anti-slavery movement, in 1830 the rise of an organized movement to abolish slavery in the United States. Women found they now couldn’t do anything to help. That led abolitionist women to begin to defend their right to speak in public and discuss thoroughly during petition drives. All throughout the 1850’s more and more people joined the women 's rights movement, and it was in the abolition movement that women first learned to organize, to hold public meetings, and to conduct petition campaigns. As time went on state legislatures began to act favorably to woman’s influence and petition efforts for reforms in property law. By 1860 fourteen states passed a form of women’s property laws, for example New York legislatures passed the Married Women’s Property Act. The law gave married New York women all economic rights they demanded, but still refused the women the right to vote. May 1866, the eleventh women’s rights convention was held. At the convention, they decided to create the American Equal Rights

A number of women in the United States and Europe became frustrated with apparent prejudices against women in the 1830s. The women came together by focusing on a specific goals to help their quality of living. It made it hard for women to establish family and marriage laws because women couldn’t divorce and be included in property laws, which men had complete control over women. Rights/laws for women did not make any progress until the late 1800s and early 1900s. Divorce and property rights were at the surface of the women movement. The first right to be granted to women was nursing. Some middle and upper class women were being hears, as they began to gain access to higher education and some occupations mainly filled by men.

Early on, women took the lead in the prison reform and temperance movement. Those movements quickly led to a growing abolitionist movement, under the leadership of Emma Willard, Susan B. Anthony, and Carrie Chapman Catt led all reform movements in energy and ambition. Although their “Declaration of Rights of Women” failed to gain women the right to vote, the momentum led to a change in many state laws regarding women’s issues. Although the abolition of slavery was not successful, William Lloyd Garrison and Harriet Beecher Stowe became wildly successful in gathering support. Idealistic communes such as found in New Harmony, Brook Farm, and Nauvoo spread the message reform, peace, and self-reliance for those seeking religious freedom. Since most of the incarcerated were the poor, this period of the “common man” sought to rectify all such moral ills. The reformers sought to equalize the social classes by providing a free and better education for the poor. This cause, espoused by Horace Mann and others, was instrumental in sparking the frame of education which would spread though the Untied States like wildfire. The populist movement comprised mainly of farmers met to discuss reform for the common agriculturalist. And although the immigrants fought against fierce prejudice from the nativists, they too found changes in public schools and modernized

This call for true equality was not a sudden a sudden outburst, but rather a gradual increase over several decades. This can be examined from reading and comparing Abigail Adam’s letters from the 1700’s to Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s Declaration of Sentiments. From these pieces one

Composers: Please include the following for each (I need to be able to tell that you read about them and did not just google them or use wikiepedia, etc. and copied and pasted-read your textbook please)

Some of the most well known composers came to be in the in the classical music period. Ludwig van Beethoven was one of the composers, along with other greats of the time like Haydn and Mozart, which helped to create a new type of music. This new music had full rich sounds created by the new construction of the symphony orchestra.

The Music of the classical and Romantic era is a period of time where it shows the development and different styles of music. This can be shown through the manipulation of musical elements, (dynamics, pitch, tempo, rhythm, texture, meter, tonality, structure, melody, harmony, instrument) while contrasting them, but it can also be shown through the composers of the music, the size of the orchestra, musical directions, emotional content, and non-musical developments through that period of time.

(2) Schubert was one of the most prominent composers in the Romantic era. He was the first composer to live off only the money he got from composing. He wrote many compositions during his short lifetime, especially art songs (“OnMusic”).

Baroque music tends to be complex, but with a very organized system of forms and harmonies that is the basis for almost all music from what is called the “Common Era,” the period between 1700-1900. The Common Era developed throughout the nineteenth century, but after 1900 music entered an age of experimentation; music perhaps became a postmodern art genre very early on. Baroque music all sounds similar, although the educated listener can tell Bach from Handel without difficulty. In the realm of contemporary music, however, entirely atonal music from Schoenberg and Webern can easily exist alongside French Impressionism and Copland’s American neo-Romanticism. Today’s composers are similar only in that their styles, and entire musical languages, are radically different.

At this time last year, I would have considered all music before the 20th century to be classical. However, after taking a Dual Credit Music Appreciation course, I realized that “old” music cannot simply be grouped into a single category. There are so many differences that I had no idea existed. Throughout the years, music has changed and evolved, meeting the needs of listeners and performers. Different composers have been catalysts in this change as they have developed new styles and genres. Even though the classical period is directly subsequent of the baroque period, baroque and classical music have countless different qualities and characteristics.

laws. The possibility for rights sparked interest in many women and men. Since the 1970s,
