Considering the fact that her mother was a well known feminist, and the author of a book titled The Vindication of the Rights of Women it seems only logical that someone who grew up reading her writings would treat female characters fairly in their writing. However, Mary Shelley continues to defy all odds, not only defining the science fiction genre, but also by setting the common trope of waifish women getting left by the wayside in favor of the advancement of the men in the story. Throughout the book the women somehow manage to maintain their two dimensional characters, and simply allow things to happen to them as opposed to actively engaging with the

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.

This week’s reading discussed issues particularly affecting women. Chapter 7 talked about women not have equal rights and because of that it results in women being subject to violence, discrimination, unequal opportunity to education and health insurance. In 1980 the United States signed the law entitled, (CEDAW) elimination of all discrimination against women but they never ratified the law. At first this was a shocker to me because when I first read the law I thought it was just for equal rights for women but this law also includes things that are contrary to the United States laws.

Suffarage for women and their rights have improved over the years , women can now vote, join the army, and have the same jobs as men can . It took many years for women to get as far as they are now.

Coventions and groups were made to support

Women have constantly fought for equality, since the beginning of time and have affected the world with their fight for equal rights. During a 1920 Debate Between Margaret Sanger and Winter Russell, discussed the issue of birth control. Winter Russell a New York lawyer, took the position as a man that women should not have access to birth control. Margaret Sanger on the other hand as a women believed that women had a right to having access and knowledge to birth control. Margaret Sanger fought to protect the health of women, protect the rights of the unborn and fought for women's rights throughout the debate.

“No woman can call herself free who does not control her own body, nor can no woman call herself free until she can choose consciously whether she will or will not be a mother.” Margaret Sanders, an early feminist and birth control activist, strove greatly for women, especially in their stand for contraceptives that would help prevent unwanted pregnancies. She understood that women become greatly affected by the choice of having an abortion for that right alone assures them that they are in complete control over their bodies. Denying women of this right would not only make it unconstitutional, it would make it to where the woman does not even have the right to decide matters regarding her own body. Stemming from that, there have been many

Between the late 1700’s and the early 1900’s many American women struggled to obtain the same rights as men. The society of women as a whole had pushed for equality constantly throughout the years. Women especially obtained more equality by publicizing their reasoning and demands for equality. This, is first and foremost proven by the way women had advocated greatly for improved academics for women. Women used another good tactical approach to achieve equality by speaking out strongly against inequalities between the genders.A third example of a great leap for equality, would be the religious movement, the upsurge in religious enthusiasm allowed women to demonstrate their piety and even to found new sects; and this in turn led to change in the way the world viewed women.

As women rights have come from a very long way along with the fact the right to our bodies purposely belonging to us and no one elses. However, as women we have basic human necessities that most men dont need. Abortion and female reproduction topic is huge and it can echoed from the time from World War 2 after all the death and casualities after both wars the goverment wanted women to supply back all the human life back from where it was lost before. However, now women have the right to birth control and many other necessities that other women didnt have back in the day.

“We need a leader, not a creepy tweeter!” This is one of the many chants that echoed through streets of New York City during the 2018 Women’s March on Saturday January 20th. Signs were held high and pink hats went as far as the eye could see. Men and women from all over the east coast came together to show unity for the fight for women’s equality. And there I was right in the middle of it. One of the most inspiring parts of this march is that it brings together a range of women’s issues and injustices against minority groups into one protest. It was diverse and yet it all screamed of solidarity.

The women’s movement in Iran is well-known as a dynamic, powerful movement within a state under various levels of Islamic regimes. Beginning from the constitutional period from 1905-1911, women began to mobilize and organized acts of defiance such as boycotts, riots, and protests. Despite the numerous odds against them, including not being classified as “citizens” equal under the constitution, women’s movements in Iran grew steadily over the early 1900’s. Women’s organizations produced scholarly publications discussing women’s rights and arguing for representation (Mahdi 429). The Pahlavi period from 1925 to 1979 brought about a vastly different environment in Iran. Iranian women made considerable progress in areas such as education, parliamentary representation and family law. While the number of women in high-level governmental positions was the highest in history, women were still subject to a patriarchal political world. The Iranian Revolution of 1979 shifted the dictatorship from a Western to Islamic influenced regime.

Socially, Islamic dress and the veil was strictly, and at times, violently enforced. Sharia law dominated, and women’s movements seemed destitute in the face of an Islamic state. Any attempt at rebellion was strictly pushed down. Yet while many consider the women’s movement
