Susan B Anthony Women's Rights

First and foremost, the fight for women’s rights is something that has occurred throughout time not only in the United States, but in every part of the world. When it comes to the United States, one cannot deny that it was an important historical event. “The struggle for women’s suffrage in the United States had occupied better part of a century” (Source 1). Truly a struggle, for it was not acknowledged by men in the past, primarily white man who had full rights in the nation. Susan B. Anthony was an important leading figure of the Suffrage Movement and contributed to the Suffrage Movement.

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.

Over the history of time women were not allowed to have prominent roles and rights in society. Through history and time women have fought for the right to vote, to work for equal pay, the women’s suffrage, gaining property rights, and much more. The first women’s right movement in the United States of America, which started in the 1830s, arose from the campaign too end slavery. Many things such as evangelical Christianity, the abolitionist critique to slavery, and debates about the place of women in the abolitionist movement played valuable roles in the development of the antebellum women’s right movement. These efforts and large steps that women took to destroy and tear down the walls that limited them from having a voice still resonates today.

The women’s rights movement has been influenced by the words and writings of many. Two influential people in the movement include Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Abigail Adams. These women paved the way for equality across the United States of America. Without these women speaking out and advocating in their different ways, equality in the country would be much farther

Activism has fought for gender equality in America. The woman suffrage movement gave the opportunity of gender equality in America. It began in the 1850s but was lost focused of until after the Civil War ended. The movement was formed by women activist and some men too. The movement’s goal was to gain equality of gender, that women would be able to vote, gain the same responsibilities that came with citizenship and end woman suffrage. The movement included parades, speeches, protests. Many people disagreed that women should have rights to vote and be a full citizen so there were many arguments. The Women’s Movement accomplish to win the right to vote as a women. FRom the movement, new women cafe, newspapers, and bookstores were opened. Not only that but, clinics and refuge for women and help for those in the presence of domestic violence and sexual abuse.

In the nineteenth century, Elizabeth Cady Stanton was a very important person of the women's rights movement. Stanton did several things over the years that were important to the movement. She "drafted a “Declaration of Sentiments, Grievances, and Resolutions" that echoed the preamble of the Declaration of Independence. “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal." ("The Women’s

During the late 19th century, women were in a society where man was dominant. Women not having natural born rights, such as the right to vote, to speak in public, access to equal education, and so forth, did not stop them to fight for their rights. Women's lives soon changed when Lucy Stone, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Susan B. Anthony played a prominent role to help bring about change.

As a young woman in the state of West Virginia I have the right to vote, receive a formal education, and the ability to have a voice. I do not take these rights for granted. Woman started the privileges I have today. These opportunities began with three outstanding women in our history. Susan B. Anthony, Rosa Parks, and Eleanor Roosevelt have been a driving force for women to have the right to vote, to seek education, and to speak their voice.

“There will never be complete equality until women themselves help to make laws and elect lawmakers,” Anthony said this in 1897 (Documented). This quote shows how strongly Anthony feels about women’s suffrage, because she knows that it is her basic human right to be able to vote. Susan B. Anthony’s involvement in civil disobedience was due to personal influence, she chose to participate in civil disobedience to protest for women’s suffrage, and she did make a difference in the cause of women’s suffrage but never seen the day that women got the right to vote. Civil Disobedience is when you break a law to protest for something you believe in (Suber). People use civil disobedience because they believe it is a nonviolent way yo get a point across

What started with a small convention for 200 women would lead to an effort that changed history forever. In the 1840’s, the women’s suffrage movement began with a convention in Seneca Falls, New York. For almost 100 years after the event that “launched” the movement, supporters of women’s suffrage worked hard to diffuse ideas, educate, and fight for their right to vote. Under the leadership of many strong, influential women, the movement to advocate for women’s suffrage set forth. From the time the United States gained its independence, the ideals of democracy and voting have been core values. Before the nineteenth amendment was ratified, granting women the right to vote, only half of the population was being represented. Women were expected

The 19th Amendment guarantees any woman the right to vote in a political election. Prior to August 18, 1920, this amendment did not exist. This was a very powerful boundary for women to overcome, as it took decades of unrest. Beginning in the mid-1800s “suffragettes,” otherwise known as women who wanted to right to vote in elections, began protesting, lobbying, and attending rallies. Many American citizens found that this was scandalous, unladylike, and a radical challenge to the constitution.

Women’s Rights was and still is a major issue throughout the entire world, but more specifically, in the United States of America. Women have been treated unjustly for awhile. From being beaten by their husbands, to not being able to own property if they were married, women have been through it all. Many of these situations started to change because of a group of women that decided to stand up for what they believe in. A few activists that helped improve the rights of women are Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Lucretia Mott.

The right to education is one important fundamental justice that everyone should have, but most times that right is denied. There 's many reasons why people, states or countries may not take education seriously. Pakistan is one country that has the most curtailment on education towards women. Malala Yousafazi became a young activist, she stood up for her people in Pakistan to restore the rights of education to women. Her journey began when she was just the age of fifteen; she was shot on her head near the school bus by the Taliban in 2012.

Malala accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on December tenth, 2014 with Indian children 's rights. She bravely continues to work hard and strive for education justice so that, one day, every child will receive an education.

You may be surprised that there are still more than 20 nations consisting of 65 million young women that don't allow girls to get a proper education. The author of I am Malala, by she, Malala Yousafzai was an advocate for ladies' rights and education shows courage, inspiration, and positivity, which helps her battle for young women's education rights.
