Women 's Rights Of Women

Women, like black slaves, were treated unequally from the male before the nineteenth century. The role of the women played the part of their description, physically and emotionally weak, which during this time period all women did was took care of their household and husband, and followed their orders. Women were classified as the “weaker sex” or below the standards of men in the early part of the century. Soon after the decades unfolded, women gradually surfaced to breathe the air of freedom and self determination, when they were given specific freedoms such as the opportunity for an education, their voting rights, ownership of property, and being employed.

Women’s rights to vote women couldn’t vote back in the late 1800’s. Women had to stay home and take care of the children, cook and clean the house and when their husbands get home take care of them too. Although women had to do all those things they were not paid equal for the things they did. Women were told it is not job to vote that it is a man’s job to do the voting and women to take care of everything else. Gaining the vote for American women, known as woman suffrage, was the single largest enfranchisement and extension of democratic rights in our nation’s history. Along

In the years of 1848 to 1920 all that was important in the U.S. was giving women the right to vote. Right to voting was very important to women because it was thought to a beginning of a world of equality between men and women. The idea of equality helped create Women's suffrage (also known as woman's right to vote). In 1848, a group of abolitionist activists mostly women, but also some men gathered in Seneca Falls, New York to discuss the problem of women's rights to voting. Furthermore during the 1800’s and 1900’s “Women and Women’s Organizations” worked for broad based economic and political equality for women. Women didn’t gain the right to vote until the passage of the 19th amendment in 1919 which also helped empower some women to create the “National League of Women Voters” in 1920 to educate women about their rights and additionally it sponsored Women’s Equality Day which is held on the 26th of August to celebrate the anniversary of the 19th Amendment. Right to

Women have had many important contributions to this life so it was only fair that they gained equal rights as men. Even today women still struggle to get the recognition they deserve and full equality to males. The nineteenth century

The Women’s Suffrage Movement of the 1920’s worked to grant women the right to vote nationally, thereby allowing women more political equality. Due to many industrial and social changes during the early 19th century, many women were involved in social advocacy efforts, which eventually led them to advocate for their own right to vote and take part in government agencies. Women have been an integral part of society, working to help those in need, which then fueled a desire to advocate for their own social and political equality. While many women worked tirelessly for the vote, many obstacles, factions, and ultimately time would pass in order for women to see the vote on the national level. The 19th Amendment, providing women the right to vote, enable women further their pursuit for full inclusion in the working of American society.

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

Women have always had the short end of the stick, whether it was with voting, home life, or working. They were never shown the respect that they deserved or earned. They worked hard and were never repaid for their work. In the early colonial period, women were treated differently based off their wealth and religion, and after men started making laws, they gained nothing. Women went from having an unspecified class status in the early colonial period to second class status by the early republic era because men wrote the laws.

Up until the 1920s, women’s struggle for their right to vote seemed to be a futile one. They had been fighting for their suffrage for a long time, starting numerous women's rights movements and abolitionist activists groups to achieve their goal. “The campaign for women’s suffrage began in earnest in the decades before the Civil War. During the 1820s and 30s, most states had enfranchised almost all white males (“The Fight for Women's Suffrage” ). This sparked women to play a more emphatic role in society. They began to participate in anti-slavery organizations, religious movements, and even meetings where they discussed that when the Constitution states "that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain

In the 1920s women received the right to vote, up until then their struggle had seemed like a pointless one, they began to participate in many women’s right movements as well as activist movements to achieve their goal. Not only did their rights change during this era but so

In the sociology of gender, the society stratifies people- the men dominance and the women femininity establishing a gender order. The women’s suffrage movement is the struggle for the right of women to vote and run for political positions. The rights of women have never been equal to those of men. Throughout American history women have always wanted equality between the two genders, which made women suffrage the most controversial issue dividing early Feminists into ideological lines in the early eighteen centuries. The ratification of women suffrage grant women an increase in politics-right to vote, the media, education, workforce, government and their participation in the society. Women in the early sociology experienced

For centuries men were distinguished as economic providers, while women were regarded as inferior, second class human beings. Considered inferior by nature and by law, women were inflicted with a low status in society, depriving them equal rights in their homes and in civic society. At the turn of every century, women occasionally made few headways towards the amelioration of women's ill treatment. As science and social attitudes evolved, the American society began adopting more liberal approaches toward things where conventionally conservative positions were the

Less than 100 years ago women did not have the right to vote, now they have the ability to run for president; yet equality in the workforce between men and women is a continuing struggle. For many years women have had to fight to be treated equally as men. Women did not get the right to vote until 1920, and even after they did, women have to work harder to get to the same spot or position compared to a man.

Despite improvements in the rights of women in the contemporary world, modernity has created systems in which women are prevented from achieving equality. One of the most popular influences in today’s society is the media. Female objectification in media has damagingly grown with the emergence of modernity. Unquestionably, this is an important sociological issue to address. Often in the modern world, the ideology of feminism is considered unnecessary. However, in spite of technological development, female objectification remains normalized in today’s culture. It is incorporated into our society so significantly, that we do not even notice the objectification that permeates the media (Cortese, 2008). Female objectification in advertising is

Feminism has always, and continues to be a heavy topic in literature. The status of women in the world has continued to change due to the fight for the equal rights of women. Even today there are still some issues involving the rights of women, some places more so than others. Ama Ata Aidoo, an author in African literature, was born into royalty in Ghana which provided her with a clear significance of African customs (Horne 48). She illustrates in “Two Sisters” how the inequality of genders affected women in Ghana, from inequality in employment to inequality in gender roles. She uses the lives of two sisters, Mercy and Connie, to explain the inherent senselessness in the foolish choices that women make to prosper in a male privileged society that thrives on capitalism (Aidoo 994). Because women in Ghana did not have the equal rights that men did, they had to do what they felt would bring them happiness and security.

Throughout much of history, women have been viewed as inferior to men. In the 1800s and early 1900s, women were not allowed to hold the same jobs or
