Pondicherry Women In Freedom Movement

Women’s right has been a problem throughout the nineteen century. Women generally have had fewer legal rights and career opportunities than men. Wifehood and motherhood were women's most significant professions, in the 19th century; however, women won the right to vote and increased their educational and job opportunities. Women were long considered naturally weaker than men. Prior to the American Revolution the women were viewed as weak and unable to perform hard work. Also, women place were the house, take care their children, clean the house, organized the house, cook, and take care animals. During the American Revolution many women faced a lot problems because they

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.

Women's participation in reform movements led the way to women's reform movements. Through the process of reform, women gained access to public spheres, allowed them to participate more in society, and allowed them to set their sights on reform inspiring a reform movement of their own.

As much as Reconstruction had initially tried to help the South, it was the sole goal of this movement to, “undo as much as possible of Reconstruction.” State facilities originally that were supposed to help everyone were closed down, and the gap between black and white expenditures on schooling increased. Due to the depression in the 1890’s this worsened the situation for black families trying to make a living in the South couldn’t keep up their farms or the places that their children would learn. “In 1900, no public high schools for blacks existed in the South. Black elementary schools, one observer reported, occupied buildings “as bad as stables””. New laws about segregation also affected blacks in more ways than just demoralization, it also showed what kind of jobs were considered good work for them. In the instance of segregation on railroads, “many blacks could be found in “whites only” railroad cars. But they entered as servants and nurses, not as paying customers entitled to equal treatment. The rise of lynching also affected the way blacks lived their lives, by controlling the way they vote, how they treated whites, and how they couldn’t rely on the justice system to address their grievances. An example of the reduced number of voters is best seen in Louisiana, where the number of voters dropped from 130, 000 to 1, 342, which is directly linked to the use of violence as a way to intimidate black voters. Blacks also had to be careful how they acted around white, since murder wasn’t a federal crime and was handled by the state, many blacks were lynched without fair trials and accused of crimes like raping white women, murder, and theft. A majority of the accused never when to trial. All in all blacks in the South were largely affected negatively as a result in policy changes, social factors, and widespread violence. This injustice carried on

On the other hand, women started to fight for their rights at the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twenty century “the changes came in part because of practical problems of maintaining property, inheritance, and settlement in new states and territories” (Lowi 109) since women at that time could not own property. The women suffrage movement was created and with this many women and men contribute to the “National Women Suffrage Association (NWSA) [which] was formed in New York, and it immediately began an effort to amend the U.S. Constitution to allow women to vote” (Lowi 109). It wasn’t until 1919 that “Congress ratified the Nineteenth Amendment granting women the right to vote… the amendment was ratified by the states,

For seven generations, there have been ongoing changes so dramatic that now, the women whose lives have been changed for the better man not even notice that there was ever a struggle. More than 160 years ago, in 1848, the Women’s Rights Movement began. There was a small group of women, lead by Elizabeth Cady

The woman 's rights movement and the demand for woman suffrage emerged in the first half of the 19th century from a variety of other movements. A major goal of the woman 's rights movement was to change public opinion regarding women 's capacities and rights. Suffrage was one of several reforms intended to end the significant legal, political, religious, and cultural discriminations against nineteenth century women. Suffrage became the primary goal of the woman 's rights movement during the 1850s and remained so until women finally achieved the right to vote in 1920.During 20th century they gained the right to vote and also more occupations were opened to them. They gained equal right with men included property right, the right to work for equal pay, and the women’s suffrage. It was so difficult for women to gain suffrage because the people believed if women could vote they would end barriers at the state level that prevented married women from controlling their wages and attending state universities, they reform the corrupt practices of American politics, and they would end unequal pay. Suffragist always believed that success was imminent, and they numbered their amendment to prohibit discrimination in voting on the basis of sex the 16th amendment. But votes for women came so slowly that they followed changes legalizing an income tax, authorizing popular voting for United States senators, and establishing prohibition. Suffragists faced endless campaigns to persuade state

Cobble, Dorothy Sue. The Other Women's Movement: Workplace Justice and Social Rights in Modern America. Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press, 2004.

The women’s suffrage movement is a movement to secure legal, economic, and social equality for women who are fighting to secure property rights and suffrage for women. It was insisted that men were superior to women although, this movement was directed for the removal of attitudes and practices that preserve inequalities based upon this assumption. This essay will argue about what events lead to the success of women’s suffrage movement.

In 1903, Emmeline created a women’s social and political union(WSPU) that helped to inspire individuals in fighting for women’s rights. Their slogan “deeds not words” and name of this union was designed in order to emphasize it’s democracy (“The Women’s Social and Political Union”). This WSPU was composed of women from all different races, social classes and ethnicities from working to royal rank females. These women were willing to take part in drastic actions to fight for the fair rights they believed in. These members of this union worked together by disrupting parliament speeches as well as resorting to militant tactics to further their cause. Women from the WSPU resisted the government which accepted them to have courage and bravery as they were working against their body of nation. These women demanded political equal rights and equal responsibilities with men in society towards the government. To increase people’s awareness, they held street meetings and distributed suffrage literature (Rume, 1). These awareness movements, helped make the WSPU became the first and largest militant group that helped challenge the government. The WSPU tactics and ideas on the suffrage movement helped challenge women’s social inequality which opened eyes for females to see how unfair the life they were living (Steven 194-198).

“A woman with a voice is by definition a strong woman. but the search to find that voice can be remarkably difficult”.(-Melinda Gates). At this time period before 1848 it lasted till 1920 it was very hard for the woman's voice to be heard by others, The woman suffrage began in Seneca N.Y., the people who were involved in this conflict were Susan B.

In this conventional view, nothing relevant occurred between 1920 and 1960s. Women's Suffrage Movement displayed in the United States is considered to be one of the most incredible events to occur in the history of the United States. Women's Suffrage Movement of the mid-nineteenth century unified women around a number of conflicts were seen as fundamental rights for everyone which included the right to vote, to access education, and the right to reproductive rights. When women began advocating for the equality of other men the responses were negative. Men believed that actions needed to be taken in order to stop women who engaged in this movement. Women who were caught being involved in the movement would be punished, but this did not stop the women from proceeding with what they believed what was their right. One woman in particular who was known as a suffragette, and who was dedicated to the Women’s Suffrage movement was Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Stanton was one of the leaders of the Women’s Suffrage Movement in the nineteenth century. She promoted her ideas both in writing and touring as a public

Social change in Britain has been achieved primarily through the hard work of organized political groups. These groups created events to recruit and educate supporters of social equality to join them in fighting for progress. The Women’s Suffrage Movement between 1866 and 1928 in Britain is no exception to this trend. The reason for the great efficacy of these political groups, including the National Union of Women’s Suffrage Societies and the Women’s Social and Political Union, was the women who pioneered the groups and fought alongside them to create the change that they believed in. The goal of these political groups was finally realized in 1928 with the passing of the Representation of the People Act. However, the Women’s Suffrage Movement in Britain would not have been successful without the influential actions of several significant women. In addition to the overall necessity of female leadership for British Women’s Suffrage, the central efforts of Millicent Fawcett, Lydia Becker, and Emmeline Pankhurst particularly played a large role in the movement’s success.

Feminism in India is a set of movements which defining, establishing and defending equal political, economic and social rights and equal opportunities for Indian women. Feminist criticism was not inaugurated until late in the 1960s.Behind it, however lie two centuries of struggle for the recognition of women’s cultural roles and achievements and for women’s social and political rights marked by such books as Mary Wollstone Craft’s A Vindication Of The Rights Of Women (1792), John Stuart Mill’s The Subjection Of Women (1869), and the American Margaret Fuller’s Women in The Nineteenth Century
