Personal Narrative: American Women's Dinner Party

Susan B. Anthony, never gave up. In 1905 she met with President Theodore Roosevelt to propose the right for women to vote. After being rejected she kept standing for her beliefs. One of her strongest statements was “Men, their rights, and nothing more; women, their rights, and nothing less.” She

Margaret Sanger, an active reproductive rights reformist and the mother of what we now know to be Planned Parenthood, grew up the sixth child of eleven in an Irish-American family in New York. Sanger witnessed her mother go through multiple miscarriages, leaving her concerned for her mother’s health. She later studied nursing at a variety of colleges. Sanger moved to New York City in the early twentieth century, taking her husband, William Sanger, and three children with her. Radical politics were growing popular in the area where they lived, changing the young couple’s mindset. Sanger later got involved in the Women’s Committee of the New York Socialist Party and Liberal Club.

[2]In a world where a women makes 79 cents for every one dollar a man makes (AAUW) , and about 250 African-Americans were shot by police in 2016, (Huffington) a woman like Lucretia Mott is needed.Not only was she a women's rights advocate, Mott was also an abolitionist and was completely against racism.

Margaret Sanger revolutionized the world in a important way. Margaret Sanger was known for leading the birth control movement. She financed the research needed to develop “the pill”, an easy form of birth control that women could take themselves. She also founded the Planned Parenthood Federation Of America continuing her legacy of authoritative work to allow parenthood and birth control to be much easier. Margaret Sanger left a legacy of leading the birth control movement.

Sanger wanted to put birth control more on the market, this is when she decided to make it known in pharmacies and let women use it in hospitals. After world war 1 is when she really started to kick off birth control. She started to reach out to black women of any age, making the stand that she did to slaves she became known for being racist and starting birth control. She had finally won everyone's hearts with planned parenthood in 1939, (when it was founded) and she was no longer a radical feminist. Her role in birth control became largely horrific after world war 2 and she had to change her aspects on birth control. She had decided to travel to many other countries including Brazil, Asia, Russia, and Korea to share about birth control. This act make birth control way more known where just about every doctor was deciding to put it in hospitals. Sanger wasn't alone in this fight for birth control, she also had many other feminist along her side. First was Katharine Dexter McCormick, She gave away thousands of dollars just for birth control to be discovered. Next is British feminist Edith How-Martyn to serve as a clearinghouse for information. Last but not least is Dr. John Rock, he was the support for all of the doctors at that time to accept birth control into hospitals and any patents care routine.

Today, women have the same rights as men, but it wasn’t always that way. Women had very little rights in the 1920s. In this paper, we will look into the struggles of women, how their jobs changed from when they gained their rights, and finally we will go over some famous activists.

Often times, women are excluded from history books and historical primary document sources. Women have just as much to say, if not more than men, especially during times where they were denied basic rights. Sojourner Truth, Amy Garvey, and Ella Baker were all African American activists for human rights; Truth and Garvey for women’s rights and Baker for African American rights. Each woman brings a new perspective to the movements and has great reasoning. During a time when women weren’t allowed to say much, they had a great amount to say.

Margaret Sanger was born as one of eleven kids in 1879 in New York. She lived in Corning, New York until 1910 where she moved and started a publication on a woman’s right to birth control. In 1912, she started to write a column in a local newspaper called “What Every Girl Should Know.” She was also a nurse—she helped many women who had tried to go through so-called “back alley abortions,” or attempting to

Women have an amazing story in United States Government. Past women have fought extremely hard for the rights women have today. Women are just as tough as men, they proved it during the women's suffrage movement. A lot of women were a part of this movement, some even dedicated their life’s to this. The three most influential suffragist women were Alice Paul, Lucy Burns, and Inez Milholland.

Margaret Sanger grew up in a poverty-stricken family that included eleven children. Her mother died when she was young, and Margaret believed that the many successful and not so successful pregnancies she endured might have been the cause. Sanger left her family and worked as a nurse in the Lower East Side, which at the time was a very poor immigrant-filled neighborhood. While working there, she treated many women who had either undergone a “back-alley” abortion or had tried to self-terminate their pregnancy. Sanger believed, “No women can call herself free until she can choose consciously whether she will or will not be a mother.” Sanger was one of the first women to fight for birth control. She went to jail many times for opening clinics for and advertising contraceptives to the public. She continued to fight and found many ways to get women the birth control they needed. She established Planned Parenthood and helped fund the creation of the first birth control pill to be approved by the Food and Drug

The origin of women’s liberation began in the 18th century with the World‘s Anti-Slavery Convention of 1840 where delegates Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott were attending with ones husbands in London (McMillen, 2008). The credential committee ruled that women were unfit for public and business meetings (McMillen, 2008). The ladies were moved to a segregated area which

The journey in advocating for the equality and justice for women has left a tremendous impact in history. Women demonstrate their endless fight to be at the same level as men. From being allowed to receive an education, suffrage, to earning the same wages in the workplace as men. We recognize and honor one of the leading feminist of the 20 century. Betty Friedan is an inspiring activist whose actions have made equality for women a reality. Without her dedication in the movement, young girls may not have benefited from opportunities offered to them today. We often times neglect to remember important key figures that have strived for the better of our nation.

Margaret Sanger, is a nurse who in the early 1900 attended school for nursing. Margaret’s mother died after 18 pregnancies, 11 live births and seven miscarriages. The impact of this on Margaret promoted her drive to develop and open the first birth control clinic in the united states in 1916.

A popular name throughout history is Susan B. Anthony who was one of many who had campaigned to eliminate slavery before celebrating the women’s right to vote. This wave involved many women from different types of feminism groups including Frances Willard who was a part of a conservative Christian group like the Women’s Christian Temperance and also Matilda, Joslyn, and Gage, who were more of radical feminists’ and expressed their feelings through the National Woman Suffrage Association.

Margaret sanger was a nurse and a writer who later become a sex educator, as well as one of the widely known and successful American birth control activist. Margaret wanted to effectively produce pill that women can safely take to have more control over when they would want to be pregnant. She reached out a scientist named Gregory Goodwin Pincus, who was able to help Margaret Sanger create “The Pill” known as Birth control pill. It worked by suppressing Women’s ovulation. This pill was experimented on 50 women out of Puerto Rico. With the help of John Rock, who was a gynecologist and a doctor, helped develop the pill which would later be approved by the FDA.
