Many men did not agree that men and woman could be equal and that a woman’s place should be at home, cooking, cleaning and baring children. Most of the men thought very little of women and believed that women were not as smart as them and that even they could present women better than women themselves. As there were those who did not support the Women’s Suffrage group who protested for their equal rights, there were also men who did support them and were actually involved in the America Equal Rights Association (AERA), the American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA), and later the National American Woman Association (NAWSA) (Isenberg) Believe it or not, but men were actually involved in the 20th century as well.

Title: Important Women in the Dominican Republic and their Stories. Women in the Dominican Republic are treated the exact same way that women in the United States are treated.

Before the Suffragettes, women were not able to vote and the move for women to have the right to vote really started in 1897 when Millicent Fawcett founded the National Union of Women’s Suffrage. Fawcett strongly believed that women should have the right to vote but also believed in peaceful protests, patience and logical arguments. She felt that if any violence occurred then men would believe that women could not be trusted and therefore should not have the right to vote. She also made the argument that if women were made responsible for sitting on school boards and paying taxes that they should be part of the process to make the laws and should have the same rights as men.

The Women's Rights Movement was a significant crusade for women that began in the late nineteenth century and flourished throughout Europe and the United States for the rest of the twentieth century. Advocates for women's rights initiated this movement as they yearned for equality and equal participation and representation in society. Throughout all of history, the jobs of women ranged from housewives to factory workers, yet oppression by society, particularly men, accompanied them in their everyday lives. Not until the end of the nineteenth century did women begin to voice their frustrations about the inequalities among men and women, and these new proclamations would be the basis for a society with opportunities starting to open for
