The Utopian Society : A Utopian State

Up until the early 1900’s, women were seen by society as people with household roles that consisted of cooking, cleaning, and tending their children. As time progressed, the view of women in society gradually changed, but their opinions still did not seem to matter. It wasn’t until 1920, that women gained suffrage with the 19th amendment. This amendment was a huge step in gaining full and equal rights for women, but unfortunately discrimination against them still happens today. There are various different situations in which the issue of gender inequality occurs. Although the law states that everyone has equal opportunities and rights, women are highly discriminated against in everyday roles such as employment, extracurricular activities, military, and in the government.

Everyone can agree that sexism had its talons deep in the flesh of the American mindset during the 1800's and although this is an obvious fact, few people understand just how hostile an environment it was for a woman. Among those few, were the women living in this malicious medium. From corsets to kitchens, housekeeping to health, life was not easy for even the most well-to-do woman. Although not all women decried their situation, a strong-minded minority dropped their oven mits, put their fists in the air, and called out for a change. Equal opportunity, equal right to vote, equal pay, and all around equality is what they demanded. But feminism was not only found at suffrage rallys or Grange meetings, it made its way in to every medium,

What is a Utopia, is it a perfect system of economics? Or is it a World without any conflict, or wars? To some people it may even be by their definition a society without poverty, to which each and, every individual is treated with equal opportunity. In my honest opinion, the vision of a Utopia is a world of superior technological advancements, a reduced authority of government over people, and a society of a strong sense of equal opportunity.

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

As the century immediately following the American Revolution, the 19th century experienced a rise in feminism as it harbored the first feminist movement in America. Although some women chose to embrace their “roots” by retaining their domestic sphere of influence, many women began to show discontent with the limited number of rights women held. Soon enough, the fight for women’s rights resulted in women gaining more prominence in society.

Being a woman had restrictions in many different areas like voting, education, and professions. One main challenge that women faced during the progressive era was “exclusion from emerging profession” (Brinkley 493). There were many different forms of women’s suffrage movements. Women were concerned about more than just themselves, according to Costain, “women's rights activists are also fundamentally concerned with the advocacy of nonviolence” (Costain). Women wanted more than just jobs, voting, and higher education. They wanted to be seen as equal. They wanted stereotypes such as “the housewife” to stop.

Looking back with a historical lens, it’s evident that the fight for women’s rights has progressed in a step wise process. The nineteenth amendment opened a new door of opportunities for women to take advantage of. In modern times, the continued push for equal rights is evident through the fight for reproductive rights and equal pay. Even with the right to vote, women are still being under represented and out of control when it comes to their reproductive rights and in the workplace. Opposing beliefs regarding feminism have prevented the progression of more gender equality in the United States. What originally started as a plea for a political voice helped to shape the history of the nation. Women’s suffrage paved the way for countless groups and further feminist

The roles of women in society have changed a lot since the 1800’s. While in the 1800’s women were viewed as housewives, now it is more common to see something such as single working mothers or a household where the wife is the primary “bread winner”. Today’s women have been provided with the opportunity to get educated, started joining the workforce, and even gained the right to vote. Gaining these rights was not an easy task and it took a lot of hard work and dedication to get them. Even though women have been given these opportunities, women’s rights is still a big and controversial topic in today’s society.

Females being confined to remain in their homes without opinion of what they wish to do, drives individuals to rise against the restrictions women had. With women actively resisting social norms: feminisms opposed the to limitations women had to from opportunities that they were not ideally supposed to have. Women from these eras delineated the ideal feminist whom transformed how women's roles in society were perceived. Recent events; although shame women who stand up for themselves and are eager to have more equal rights to men. The movement of the 1800s was one took lives and many hardships to receive the right to vote. In present society, identifying oneself as a feminist, has the negative connotation and belief that they hate men and feel superior toward the opposite sex. The reality is that feminism should continue to find equality for all

Over the span of many centuries, women have been undermined and ridiculed by the reality of a bitter society. A female’s sex generally predetermined the uneventful course she would be expected to take throughout her life. Promising opportunities were rare and for ages, ladies were confined to the home with little more than a puppet role to play. Common household chores were a part of the daily agenda, and unfailing devotion to a husband was anticipated (Cruea). The initiative push by The National Woman Suffrage Association provided a source of encouragement for women searching for impartial justice in basic aspects of everyday life. The women’s rights movement-though a long, rocky road-essentially led from bigotry to equality.

The freedom of dress, acceptance of contraception, and right to vote were only the beginning of a movement which is still going on in today’s society. Although the 1920’s didn’t mark the end of the struggle for gender equality in the United States, it definitely started a fight that will not be stopped until it is fully won. Several of the world’s most successful people today are females. Without the roaring twenties proving to people that hard work does get results, women would not have the same opportunities that they are given today. Feminism has brought America a long way, from the 1920’s fighting for the right to vote, and now in the year 2015 with the first expected female candidate for the presidency of the United States.

It's the perfect world, everything is done for you.Imagine living in a world where no one is homeless,starving, or depressed.You don't have to worry about anything its all provided for you.A utopian society would provide this and more.Living in a Utopian society is better than living in a demacratic society because everyone is assigned a job,you have a family,and all your needs are met.

Utopia is word that I was actually just recently exposed to maybe a few years ago. When I first heard the word I found out it pretty much meant “The perfect society”. According to the Greek language, Utopia actually means nowhere. The book states on page one that this Utopia is supposed to be a description of an ideal society but it also states that there is no agreement on how all of us should interpret the text. Regarding the statement where Morus practically claims that we shouldn’t take this text to heart too much when he says that discussing a Utopia is something we should do amongst friends and should use more practical thinking a reasoning for political issues is something that I agree with even though it pains me to say that. I think we can still look at this Utopian society and maybe learn a few things from it but when it comes to implementing their rules on a large scale to achieve a replica of their society seems futile to me. However, I do wish it was different but I personally think that with the world that we live in, we are so far from a utopian society I feel like it won’t ever happen.

In 1776, the then First Lady of the United States was the first to raise her about women’s rights, telling her husband to “remember the ladies” in his drafting of new laws, yet it took more than 100 years for men like John Adams to actually do so. With the help of half a dozen determined, and in this case white upper-middle-class, women the first-wave feminism, which spans from the 19th century to the early 20th century, finally led to their goal after 72 years of protesting. The Nineteenth Amendment, which secured the rights for women to vote finally passed in 1920. This grand victory brought other reforms along, including reforms in the educational system,
