Best for Women Years ago I attended a Soroptimist International of the Americas, Northwest Region Conference. My participation at the conference was as a delegate, so I had to pay close attention to the voting issues that were being brought before the region membership. One issue was the addition of a clause about non-discrimination to the by-laws. The gist of this new language was to ensure all members understood that Soroptimists is an all-inclusive organization, and we want anyone who is interested

Women organizers in the Civil Rights movement (1950's-1960's) Women have always been regarded as key parental figure in raising and developing children in the society. During the period of 1950 to 1970, many parts of the world were marred with civil rights movement. The movements were characterized with protests and civil resistance complaining about discrimination economic and political self sufficiency. Women took up the initiative to participate in these movements. This situation later

My Antonia was published in 1918, two years before all American women were granted the right to vote in 1920. Willa Cather lived in a bustling time where women were heavily vouching for fundamental rights and breaking free from what had been considered societal norms. While Cather mentions the conventional duties and housewives of the time the book was written, her story’s focus differs. “My Antonia’s,” narrative centers around women, many of whom are immigrants, who transcend the gender norms of

The reason that I have decided to do my essay on Susan B. Anthony is because I wanted to show how much she has done for us Women and girls. To show the way the she got tons of right for women and girls and how she helped with other things to that were crucial to our country. She was born on February 15, 1820 in the city of Adams in Massachusetts. Susan was raised in a Quaker family with long activist traditions. Once Susan and her family moved to Rochester in 1845, lots of her family members and

The Amendment #19 was included in the Constitution because it gives the women the right to vote. This Amendment was important to framers because the women were given a chance for advancement in life, and it allowed women to have a right to vote. Another important thing was that politicians didn't have a reason to listen to women's rights and issues that are important to women. Since the women are allowed to vote, some got very interested in politics, but there're no women presidents yet.

There are many comparable similarities and differences between “Declaration of Sentiments of the Seneca Falls Woman’s Rights Convention” by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and “Letter to John Adams” by Abigail Adams. These similarities involve their purpose for writing the messages and the power that needs to be given to women. As for differences, both women appeal to their audiences in different fashions and the impact that their statements made on the future of women’s rights. Despite the differences in

South Carolina was one of the settlements that was successful. This colony was the first settlement to be developed in South Carolina. Charles Town was named after King Charles II who granted the Carolina's to Eight Lord Proprietors. Lord Proprietor Anthony Ashley Cooper had an idea of creating a large port town that could import and export goods with Great Britain. He developed the colony at Albemarle Point on the Ashley River in 1670. It was later renamed Charles Town in honor of the King. Making Charles

Susan B. Anthony is second to none. She was born into a Quaker family in Adams, Massachusetts on February 15, 1820 and was raised with a zealous sense of the importance of supporting moral and social justice for all. Social activism was a family tradition practiced by her parents and all her siblings which she embraced at a very early age. Early on she was involved in the abolition of slavery and the temperance movement. A consummate organizer as well as a superb speaker, Susan B Anthony worked tirelessly

Women used many different methods to earn the right to vote in the Women’s Suffrage Movement. For example, the women held a parade to support women’s suffrage. The parade consisted of women marching, holding up signs to support women’s suffrage. During the parade, the women also were able to face harassment by anti-suffragists to show they would not back down. The parade was also segregated to earn more participants from the Southern United States. The parade failed, but they did not give up, and

In the early 1900’s women were beginning to fight for their rights, and the rights of others. They started forming organization such as the National American Woman SUffrage Association. However, since women could not vote, they adopted different techniques to have their voices heard. In Florence Kelley’s speech she demonstrates one such technique by utilizing diction and questions to extrapolate her message on child labor in order to convince the women to enlist workingmen voters, with them, in the
