Women's Rights In The Late 19th Century

A Doll House gives us a true insight into the roles for men and women during the late 1800’s. This is why the play has been said to be able to take place in any and all suburbs. At this point in history, the roles of gender were mainly consistent across the world. Men vs. women in economics, social status, gender rights, marriage and divorce, and occupation can best describe this.

The Amendment was passed August 26, 1920. Their fight to vote started sometime in the 1820s. In the 1820s american women were titled to be a perfect housewife which included cooking for the men and children, cleaning, looking after children, and should be submissive towards the other gender. They were not allowed to have paying jobs because men thought women could not handle that things except for taking care of their family. In 1851 Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton work together to fight for women’s rights. A lot of people were against what they were trying to accomplish and still are. They worked together in making a newspaper to promote the idea of women’s rights. Around 1869 the National Women’s Suffrage Association was formed

Women in the mid-1800s had nearly any rights they could not vote or hold office. If women were to get married their husband got all of the property he owned all her wages if she worked the husband could hit his wife long as it did not injure her. Women held many rallies and other events to try and get equal right. The Women's Rights Movement allowed women a chance to go to college and other schooling opportunities. Finally women got the same jobs as men they got paid the same they owned all of their property and wages.

Did women always have the same rights and roles as men? Were they always able to live a free life? Well not really, but the women were willing to fight for it.

right to vote when the 19th amendment got ratified in the year 1920. Before the 19th amendment, only 4 states gave women the right to vote. The western states gave women the right to vote so that more people could come to their states. The women suffrage was run by strong women. Two of the women were Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady. The women got the right to vote because they have been fighting for their rights since 1775, women were striking for their rights at their job to so that they can be equal as men, the women’s right convention that opened the new possibility for women, and the 4 states that gave women rights before the 19th amendment.

The fight for women’s suffrage went on for about seventy years. Crazy right? In the early 1800’s, women were considered second class citizens. The role that we see women have to was not nearly as close to the roll they had back then. A woman’s place was to be at home, baring children, taking care of the family and the home. They were not allowed to have any interest in anything but home and family; nor were they encouraged to pursue a career or have an education. Many women did not even have the right to own property. Women today would not be where they are if it weren’t for the women’s suffrage movement. The first fight for women’s suffrage started with the Seneca Falls Convention

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” This sentence from the Deceleration of Independence is one of the most well known of American documents. However, consequently we have all become comfortably numb to this statement and don’t take into consideration the struggles, fights, and deaths from our history that made this statement true. Due to the unceasing fight of men and women of three different groups, America was altered for the better. The late 1800 to early 1900 was an essential time for three key groups women, African Americans, and Indians to fight for their constitutional rights.

The Women’s Right Movement changed the lives of the American Women for the better, due to gaining the right to vote, access to higher education, and the opportunity to enter the workforce. Before the reform movements of Women’s right, the American women were discriminated in society, home life, education, and the workforce. Women in the 1800s could not only vote, but they also were forbidden to speak in public. They were voiceless and had no self-confidence, they dependent men, since they had little to no rights.

The Women Rights! Who, The Woman. What happened, The woman didn't like how men (white) had way more rights and averages than the woman did. When did this happen, This happened in 1970s. Where did this happen, This happened in the U.S.A. The main thing, The woman in the u.s didn't like being treated differently than the woman. This is my CBA and i'm doing Women's Rights.

Was there really a time in this country when women could not vote? Yes, yes there was. It would seem inconceivable that the women who lived before the nineteenth century were confined to their homes and had no freedom to choose the leaders they wanted simply because they could not vote. Only adult males were able to vote, they had to own property to vote, but they were able to vote. With educational changes and social reforms, women in the nineteenth century began to seek their rights and equality with male counterparts. As these women began fighting for the same rights as men, the United States saw a rise of the women's suffrage movement of 1840 to 1920. They had made speeches, marched in parades, signed petitions, and argued over and over

Women’s Suffrage was a huge movement in the 1800’s and the beginning of the 1900’s. Women fought long and hard to earn the right to vote and the right to be considered equal along with men. “The day may be approaching when the whole world will recognize woman as the equal of man” (Susan B. Anthony). They also earned the right to own property. Many men argued against women’s rights. Women struggled for 50 years against the hate and the repressment by men.

Over time women's rights have grown, however this has not happened without the difficulty of time and tradition. The original role of women was not equal to man, instead their role was to act as the housekeeper, the mother of children. Due to this stereotype, women were unable to gain many rights, and much of the protests against how unfair this was were unheard. To begin, what is known of women's rights during the 1800s is, women in society were subservient to men. Women were only allowed to have access to a minor education, which was not enough to build a life off of much less a job.

It would be a huge understatement to say that many things have changed when it comes to women's rights, positions, and roles in our society today since the 19th century. Actually, very few similarities remain. Certain family values, such as specific aspects of domesticity and performance of family duties are amongst the only similarities still present.

In today’s western society women have more opportunities and rights than they had a few years ago. The number of women who have made their way to a successfull and fullfilled life without men by their sides has increased, but are they really treated exactly the same way as men are?
