Taking a Look at Women's Suffrage

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

To what extent was the National Women's Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, New York in 1848 the start to women’s suffrage?

Throughout time women and their rights have varied among where they are living and the people that surround them. Some of the major changes with women’s rights is giving them the right to vote, reproductive rights, and the right to work for equal pay. Another thing that varies throughout time is women’s roles. For example 100 years ago the only jobs that women could have was to either be a housewife, nurse, or a teacher. Until about 1910, women didn’t really fight for their rights and what they could do. In 1910, women started to voice their opinions in society and fought for the right to vote. Though things have changed greatly today, there are still women in the world that believe in the “traditional way” and prefer to still wait on

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.

As the years progressed from the 1700s into the 1800s, women started to see that they were not treated as equal as men even though they could do anything men could. During the late 1800s was when women first started to fight for more rights and equality. They started forming more and more women groups, and even went on labor strikes to protest the diversity. Although it seemed that as hard as they tried to gain this equality, the harder it was for them to obtain it. They were treated horribly and unequally to men. While African American men received the power to vote in 1870, women still did not have a chance at that right. Even though many people disagree that women were treated fairly, the studies show that they were discriminated against. The treatment of women in the late 1800s was discriminatory because they

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.

What is women suffrage? Women suffrage was the fight for the right of women to vote or run for office. For a very long time women fought for what they believed in, they had conventions and rallies about how they are going to win this fight for their right. These women were not afraid of what might stop them from achieving their right to vote, but one day they finally won the fight. Women suffrage had a magnificent impact on the United States of America in the1920’s and it still does in today’s society.

Beginning in 1848 in Seneca Falls, New York was the first right for women's right. Only the start of the 50-year battle to get equality. Roughly 300 people attended mostly woman, Frederick Douglass was only of the few men there. The two organizers Elizab0eth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott were mocked by press after the meeting for equality, that made them fight harder. In the beginning of the twentieth century, woman had no place in politics and were often discriminated. A movement named Women's suffrage had a big part in women getting the right to vote. In the United States, it was known as Woman's National League founded by Elizabeth Cady and Susan B. Anthony. Many men were apart of this movement, even making their own movement called Men's Leagues for Woman Suffrage roughly 20,000 members. Another one, National American Woman’s Suffrage Association (NAWSA) lead by Carrie Chapman Catt, helped start campaigns in the states this group had millions of members. Next came National Organization for Woman (NOW) lead by Alice Paul, had a more powerful approach with protecting and picketing. The overall point was to get Congress and President Woodrow Wilson to open their eyes. World War 1 did not interfere with the campaign it only helped by stating without woman working

As the American Empire expanded and the powerful nation forced social and political unrest across the world, a new era of progressivism irrupted within the country’s homeland and evolved to include political and social aspects. This largely social revolution, which outcasted earlier beliefs of social Darwinism, emerged as an effort to change political agenda and adapt social norms to provide equality for all Americans. With the expanding movement, specific groups and organizations collaborated to increase the pressure on politicians and society in general to force change. Of these groups, the women’s suffrage movement took center stage with rallies and parades: “At 3:20 P.M. on Monday, March 3rd 1913, 5,000 marchers who had descended on Washington

The central idea of women's rights to suffrage is that citizens were given the right to vote however women are not allowed to vote and this is violating our rights because in the constitutions it states we the people not we the male citizens. The authors purpose was to inform and to persuade the reader about how women are not able to vote and that they should be able to vote because the constitution says everyone can vote.

I am glad that you found the presentation informational. I agree with you when you talk about how much of a struggle it was for women to secure the right to vote. With gleaning this new information in relations to the Women's Suffrage, I feel that it introduced a higher sense of appreciation for these inspirational groups of women, along with the female leaders today. I like how you brought up Laura Hall Peters and her divorce in 1883 and how uncommon it was to men during that time period.

The Suffragette Movement was a group of women who were fighting for the right to vote. The movement started in 19th century and ended in the 20th century. The women of these times didn’t like the roles and jobs they were given by the society they were living in. Every day they would have to stay home, look after the children and clean the, they weren’t able to get a job. The movement allowed them to have an opinion towards politics.

Haitian Women in History Women in Haïti have been for a long time silenced. Their heroic acts during slavery and for the independence of Haïti have not been acknowledged. The women of Haïti have been and still are making a huge impact on society and on

Long ago before the women rights movements all women were more than likely housewives who’s main job was to serve their husbands. Women back then didn’t even have the same rights as men and were not seen as equals. However, this is obviously not the case in todays times. In order for something big like this to have changed there are obviously many steps that would have to been taken. Out of all the things that happened to help women receive equal rights was by receiving jobs outside of the house. Nothing played a bigger role than the industrial revolution, and women becoming teachers. There were also important people that played a role in achieving women’s rights. Some of those women being Dorothe Dix, Abigail Adams, and Susan B. Anthony. There was also another major step towards equal rights, and that was the Seneca falls. Without these steps and these important women that helped lead us to the Civil Rights Act, we may have never progressed from where we started with women having no rights.

American history proves that there has been an obvious change in women’s rights (Women’s Rights Timeline 1). There is the nineteenth amendment which gave women the right to vote, the Title IX civil rights act which gave women an equal opportunity as men for education, and even now in 2016 there is Hillary Clinton who has and equal opportunity as her opposing male candidate, Trump in this year’s election (Women’s Rights Timeline 2). These are all examples of what America has achieved throughout the years in terms of women’s rights but even now with many laws in place to protect women’s rights, there is still gender discrimination that continues to limit Americas progression towards a more equally gender right country (Morabito 2016). Women today still face many struggles because just by being a woman alone can come at a disadvantage in many cases so although America has addressed some gender inequality issues in our history, we should also focus on the discrimination that women face daily merely for their gender (Morabito 2016).
