The Progression of Women’s Rights from the Early 20th Century

In her report, Veronica Loveday writes about Women’s Rights Movement, during World War two, and many restrictions women faced. Women’s rights movement in the U.S. begun in the 1960s as a reaction to the decades of unfair social and civil inequities faced by women. Over the next thirty years, feminists campaigned for equality, such as equal pay, equal work , and abortion rights. Women finally gained the right to vote with the passage of the 19th amendment to the constitution in 1920.

Every woman has the right to moral, legal and political choice. As we look to the past, women fought for the right to be treated the same as men and fundamentally to have the same rights as men. Prior to the turn of the century, women had little to no rights. World War I and II gave way to change, allowing women to work and eventually allowing them to vote. The feminist movement has made drastic progress since the war. Today women are seen as equal and have the right not only to vote, but to be educated. In 1977 the Canadian Human Rights Act ensured that women could no longer be discriminated based on their sex, race, religion or sexuality. The act specified that there must be “equal pay for

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

The extension of women’s rights from 1877 to the mid 1970s, has changed over time along with the ideals of the different eras. From the original traditional values to those wild and free spirits that dominated the culture in the seventies, since then women and their rights have changed.

Over the years people have been worried about their young children working in factories or many other dangerous circumstances. With in these years people have also been concerned with their equal rights. Women tend to be treated or paid unfairly when compared to their men colleagues. Before 1938 factories would hire children to do the same dangerous and high- risk jobs that fully grown men were doing. If there were fully grown adults getting injured on the job, one can only imagine what would happen to a kid. In 1923, women and some men tried to make everything equal for women. They worked towards something called equal rights. This movement was thought up by people who supported women's rights, to make things more equal. Women wanted fair

Women were first granted the right to vote federally in 1918. In 1940, Québec was the last province to do so. In 1951, the Northwest Territories became the last territory to grant women the vote. Only 65 years ago, women could not vote in the northwest territories. Woman were not permitted to go to most universities or colleges, because if woman went of to college or university, who was supposed to stay home and raise the family. Woman could not have a credit card with their own name on it. They would have to use their husband's credit card. All of these things woman were not allowed to do or not allowed to have, but men were allowed to have and do these things. This was very biased and it was very unfair to women. Woman wanted to get jobs. Woman wanted to go to college and university, and woman wanted to vote, which leads us to the persons case. In 1927 a group of 5 women from the west wanted a female in the senate,but they were told they have to be a person to be in the senate, and woman were not listed as people. (Canadian constitution did not list woman as people). They went to the supreme court of Canada to see if woman were considered people, and the supreme court of Canada said they were not. In 1927 we were still under British rule, so the five woman went to the British privy council. They told the group that woman were considered persons, and the constitution must be reworded. In 1931, Canada became an independent country, we

Women in the mid-1800s had nearly any rights they could not vote or hold office. If women were to get married their husband got all of the property he owned all her wages if she worked the husband could hit his wife long as it did not injure her. Women held many rallies and other events to try and get equal right. The Women's Rights Movement allowed women a chance to go to college and other schooling opportunities. Finally women got the same jobs as men they got paid the same they owned all of their property and wages.

Did women always have the same rights and roles as men? Were they always able to live a free life? Well not really, but the women were willing to fight for it.

The 1920s was an era of rapid change and major success for the American people. Many factors such as women’s rights contributed to the advancement of America. The 1920s was a age of social and political change that embodied the beginning of modern America by presenting “Lost Generation” literature and innovative technologies such as the Model T Ford.

The Women Rights! Who, The Woman. What happened, The woman didn't like how men (white) had way more rights and averages than the woman did. When did this happen, This happened in 1970s. Where did this happen, This happened in the U.S.A. The main thing, The woman in the u.s didn't like being treated differently than the woman. This is my CBA and i'm doing Women's Rights.

It would be a huge understatement to say that many things have changed when it comes to women's rights, positions, and roles in our society today since the 19th century. Actually, very few similarities remain. Certain family values, such as specific aspects of domesticity and performance of family duties are amongst the only similarities still present.

In addition to the gap in political involvement there are numerous evident inequalities for Canadian women that stress the need to continue the feminist movement. The Canadian human rights

     In the aftermath of World War II, the lives of the women have changed dramatically. Women spoke their minds out and wanted to be heard. World War II brought them a new outlook on how they should live their lives. It encouraged women organize social movements such as boycotts and public marches pushing for their human rights and protect them against discrimination. Alongside, they formed their own organization representing them against the federal government like the NOW or National Organization for Women. Through the years, women have been struggling to fight for equal rights and unfortunately still exist even at the present in some areas. Yes, women’s status was not like what they used to back then, where their

No doubt, the 20th century laid great foundation for the fights for equal gender rights that led to women enrollment in different areas of life. It was a great entry in 21st century to have total human population on the board without segregation of gender, races and ethnicity at least in papers. Yet, there is a lot more to be done particularly when it comes to rights of women in active areas of life. In the 20th century, initially the women rights

Human rights abuse is the breakthrough for countless altered nations in the 20th century. Citizens from every country privileges were abused, they dealt with violence and strived for independence. Being denied freedom in their country! Many different people with power who established the law in terms of what many thought was the best for the people brought it out. A big major issue was women’s rights that were and still are examined as lower to men. Years after of plenty of hard work and battling for equality women gained and were granted their rights to independence. Canada succeeded through three women-based affiliations which was founded acceptable to women’s freedom; Women’s Rights Movements, Royal Commission on the Status of Women in Canada and Women’s Suffrage.
