Women During The 1800's

At the age of eighty, Susan B. Anthony resigned as president of the National American Women Suffrage Association, but continued to be a speaker at the conventions until she died in Rochester, New York, on March 13, 1906.

She did countless things to pass an amendment which would grant the women their wish of being able to have their rights. Including a hunger strike, a silent protest, and she even endured force feeding. In Alice Paul it says, “For five months the White House siege continued; while Congress refused to act without word from the president.” (William and Mary Lavender 4). This shows the frustration that she had to go through, and how much the government seemed stubborn. She never gave up despite knowing the fact that president Wilson wouldn’t budge. In the end she was able to convince president Wilson. She never even married. If that doesn’t show her devotion I don’t know what

She died in October 18, 1893, in Dorchester which is part of Boston. Lucy Stone had dedicated her life to trying to improve the rights for American Women. She had supported the Women’s National Loyal League, this association also were founded by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. These ladies were also fighting with her and for the same things. Lucy was actually one of the most important ones just because she has broken new borders. Her occupation was a Women’s Rights, Activist and Journalist. She had her very first lecture on women’s rights movement. Then the following year she lectured at Anti- slavery societies every once in awhile. She had great eloquence and she was known for being able to engage even the most unruly and antagonistic audience. Which would because of the time and the causes she supported. In 1870 she founded the “Woman’s Journal”. Because of this for nearly 50 years the

Elizabeth Cady Stanton was a suffragist and a leader of the Women's Rights Movement. She organized the Seneca Falls Convention, which was considered as the first women's rights movement in the United States. She wrote The Declaration of Sentiments, which is often called one of the first steps towards women's rights.

Susan B. Anthony played an important role on the women’s suffrage movement, leading to her belonging on the monument. She was not only a women’s rights activist but also a social reformer. After being involved in the temperance movement, she became inspired to fight for women’s rights after having been denied a chance to speak at one of the temperance conventions (due to her gender). Susan B. Anthony had realized that men didn’t want to take women in politics seriously since they couldn’t even vote. Therefore, she started petitions for women to have the right to vote, and even own property.

She was forced to resign president of the Red Cross in 1904 because of the new generation of scientific experts. She died only 8 years later just after she released an autobiography called The Story of My Childhood. She has proved what it takes to be an amazing role model and help throughout her

Unfortunately she died 30 years prior to women being able to actually vote (August 1920) and passed away on October 18, 1893 in Dorchester, Massachusetts. Her ashes are held in a columbarium in Boston’s Forest Hills

She was born on November 11, 1744, and died October 28, 1818. Adams believed women should take more part in decisions rather than just serve their husbands. Adams was very

Mary Livermore was born December 19, 1820 and died May 23, 1905 in Massachusetts, United States. She was an American journalist abolitionist and advocated for women's rights such as voting. Mary Livermore was the wife of a Chicago minister and she would tour hospitals care for injured and she organized to sanitary fairs during American Civil War. She organized her State’s first women's suffrage convention.

Elizabeth Blackwell is known today as the first woman in the United States of America to receive a M.D, amongst many other achievements. She was born on February 3rd, 1821, in Bristol, England, and she passed away on May 31st, 1910 in Hastings, England. Her family included her father, Samuel Blackwell, a sugar refiner, her mother, Hannah Lane-Blackwell, as well as 8 other siblings, both older and younger.

Women’s rights is something mainstream that has been fought for since the mid 1800s. Many strong, influential figures have stepped forward calling for change and striving to make differences in our male dominated societies. I would like to give a toast to one of these women’s rights advocates known as Amelia Bloomer. Bloomer was certainly someone that “bloomed” in history. She was the type of outspoken woman that took part of the temperance movement with other influential women such as Susan B. Anthony. Amelia Bloomer became a teacher at age seventeen, despite receiving little education. Her job was also how she met her husband, Dexter Bloomer, who was an editor and co-owner of the newspaper, the Seneca Falls County Courier. Shortly after

Elizabeth Blackwell was born in 1821 in Bristol, England. She was one of nine children and her father was a very prosperous sugar refiner. Her family immigrated to New York City in 1832. Her family was very active in the abolitionist movement in New York. Her father’s refinery did not prosper and forced the family to move to Cincinnati, Ohio in 1838. Her father died shortly after this move and meant that the boys now needed to find work and the girls now needed to attend school. The Blackwells made

She looked up to her father for a lot and he was a big part of why she became an inventor. She was soon after her death in the Female Famous Nationals Inventors Hall Of Fame.

Alice Paul died in 1977 as the only living suffragette woman to see the feminism of the 1970s. Today many people think that women's right to vote would have happened eventually, despite all the many great things Alice Paul did. However it was not inevitable. Women's rights would not have been won without Alice Paul. She nearly died in prison just so other
