Women's Fight For Equal Rights In The United States

Equality between men and women has grown stronger, but in many ways, it is the same. We still live in a society where women are paid significantly less than men, women have less job opportunities,

Women’s rights and equalities have always been an issue. Women first began their fight for equality in 1776, when the Congress was working on the Declaration of Independence. During the late 1840s, women set up the first women’s rights convention, which was the starting point of the women’s rights movement. In 1861, men were getting called off to war, leaving their wives and kids at home to wait patiently and care for the house and children. Women did not take too well to that idea, and they began to take action. Women have always fought for their right to stand alongside men. The three major events for the fight to gain rights and equality for women were the “Remembering the Ladies” declaration, the Civil War, and the Women’s Rights Movement.

Over the history of time women were not allowed to have prominent roles and rights in society. Through history and time women have fought for the right to vote, to work for equal pay, the women’s suffrage, gaining property rights, and much more. The first women’s right movement in the United States of America, which started in the 1830s, arose from the campaign too end slavery. Many things such as evangelical Christianity, the abolitionist critique to slavery, and debates about the place of women in the abolitionist movement played valuable roles in the development of the antebellum women’s right movement. These efforts and large steps that women took to destroy and tear down the walls that limited them from having a voice still resonates today.

Women’s rights have improved drastically since that time but there still is a stigma that men are better than women. This type of view is wrong and shouldn’t even be thought about in the world we live into today. Woman server a great purpose in the world we live in and should be considered equal in all aspects of life. If one were to ponder this idea seriously we can see without out women no children are born. The sad truth is that women still have to fight for their rights in every aspect of their daily lives. The typical women in society makes only .70 cents for every dollar that a man would make doing the same job. One would think that one hundred and fifty years later women would be considered equal counterparts to men. “There has been progress toward greater workplace equality, but we still have a long ways 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

Although women have gained many more rights, they still are not equal to men. Women had to fight to get a fraction of the rights men were granted. In 2017, women still do not have control over their own lives and bodies.

Women began to climb the ladder and finally became equal to men, well almost. Women’s rights include, but is not limited to positions that any man can hold, promotions that were not allowed beforehand last but not least socially and legal equality. As women, we can’t continue to yell inequality when we are not on the same playing field as men. We, women, have more leverage than the men. Aspiring to be like men would require us to also go the same extra mile that the male has to also. Women’s right is not for us to be equal while also being held on a pedestal at the same time. Equality goes both ways, it is for us, as well as men.

Today, women can do things that we don't even think about, like vote, involve themselves into political life, and get paid the same amount as men. Back then women struggled to have equal rights with men, they didn't get paid as much, and wasn't offered the same treatment that men got at that time. Due to the nineteenth amendment being ratified in 1920, it allowed women to have the same rights as their opposite gender. This led to today's society being free and equal to all the American who live here, men and women, and also children.

It is a fact that women have earned less than men and still do today. Now day’s women are half of the workforce and they receive more college degrees than men do. Considering that; they make on average less than men. “Female full-time workers made only 78 cents for every dollar earned by men, a gender wage gap of 22 percent (Pay

Although women now have many more rights and freedoms than what they used to, it didn’t simply happen over night. Throughout the course of history men have always had a superior role to women in our society. White Men could own land, earn a wage, get an education, and state their political ideas much before women ever could. Women have earned their way closer to being equivalent to men by fighting for a higher position in law, receiving education, and advancing to wage labor in the work force.

Overview: Men make more money the women doing the same job, even though, women hold 70% of jobs (Flander, p. 20-22). For every dollar a white man makes women make 77 cents, black women make 64 cents, and Latinas make 56 cents, that’s just for independant women, women with families make even less than that.

Equality was not only a struggle for people of color, but also women. Women were looked at as property own by their husbands. They were not a loud to get a divorce, own property, speak in public, work, or vote. In 1848, women fought for their rights at the Seneca Fall Convention. After many struggles, women finally got to make their appearance in the workforce. Along with that came many stipulations such as they couldn’t work as many hours or get as much as men. Women have fought very hard over the years for equal rights and freedom. Even though, women have more rights today, this is still a struggle. The National Organization for Women fight for equality for women today.

Now, women are equal to men since they are now working, able to vote, own their own land and most importantly, own themselves. They are now citizens and some are even running in politics. Hillary Clinton, who is secretary of state, is A good example of this since she is such an inspiration across the United States and also helped with establishing women’s rights. She shows that anybody can be anything they

During the nineteenth century women’s roles were basically being submissive to their husbands. They weren’t seen as equal as men. Therefore, this left them voiceless when it came to issues dealing with leadership, politics and etc. however, this didn’t stop women. Throughout the years women have joined together, creating movements and groups to fight for their rights of being treated equally.

Since the beginning of the 1800's, women had been fighting for the rights that they wanted. Women should be able to vote, control their own property and income, and they should have access to higher education and professional jobs. Women also had many roles in society. Women had very important parts in jobs as they took up more responsibilities. Girls, young ladies, and women of all ages were working harder to bring home income. Most women thought the pay and the conditions were unfair. These arguments grew as women fought more and more for social equality.
