Women's suffrage

Vang, Verna EL 11 Ms. Sims 7 March, 2016 I have the right! 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

education and women with full-time jobs still earn 77% of male counterparts’ earnings. In “Address to Congress on Women’s Suffrage,” “Our Deportment, or the Manners. Conduct, and Dress of Refined Society,” and Emma Watson’s speech on UN gender equality, the issue of equal rights and opportunities as men for women is forwarded. The address, written by Carrie Chapman Catt, focuses on suffrage, which is women and their right to vote. On the other hand, the deportment written by John H. Young explains the

resolutions in The Seneca Falls Declaration of Sentiments; this historical document demanded abolishment of any laws that authorized unequal treatment of women and to allow for passage of a suffrage amendment. More than three hundred

something. What drove them, where they came from, and what kind of upbringing they had. I have found the way someone is or is not raised can be a driving force in a passionate topic. From beginning to end I also want to find out the steps to the suffrage movement. What first event started it all? Did it begin with a meeting of like minded people working towards a common goal? Or, was it considered to have begun with a rally or political gathering. I would also like to find out what climatic event

fought for the right to vote, and have fought for equal access to education and also equal access to employment equal to what men of that time period got to do. Those are only a few things that have been fought for during the time period of the women’s suffrage movement. Alice Paul was one of the many women who fought for these many privileges. Alice Stokes Paul was born on January 11th, 1885 in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey. She was the first born out of four children born to the parents William and Tracie

What is women suffrage? Women suffrage was the fight for the right of women to vote or run for office. For a very long time women fought for what they believed in, they had conventions and rallies about how they are going to win this fight for their right. These women were not afraid of what might stop them from achieving their right to vote, but one day they finally won the fight. Women suffrage had a magnificent impact on the United States of America in the1920’s and it still does in today’s society

for open-minded women seeking a change in the status quo. The Women’s Suffrage Movement allowed women to gain more rights by protest, taking the place of men in the workplace, and strengthening society. Before the Women’s Suffrage Movement, women led very boring, mundane lives. They spent their time tending to their children and making sure their homes were clean for their husband’s to come home to. According to Laura Donnaway in Women’s Rights Before the Civil War, “By the early 1800s, women were

matters to their situation. Why did women not have the same rights as men? The Women’s Suffrage Movement gained a big following in the years following the Civil War. The Women’s Suffrage broke into two distinct parties. On both sides sprang from the American Equal Rights Association (AERA). On one side stood the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) and on the other, the American Women Suffrage Association. (AWSA) Elizabeth C. Stanton and Susan B. Anthony founded (NWSA), while

The Seneca Falls Convention was organized by Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton (Newman). In 1851, Elizabeth Cady Stanton was introduced by a mutual friend to another feminist that was also doing a lot of work for the women’s suffrage movement. This was Susan B. Anthony. Anthony and Stanton formed the Woman’s National Loyal League

The consideration over women’s suffrage has been on going from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, as woman struggled to achieve voice in politics. Suffragists like Sojourner Truth and Kate Chopin, confronted the traditional views of women’s roles and ultimately thrived in obtaining the 19th amendment, becoming political players, and stimulating the upcoming generations of women to fight for equal rights. In the late nineteenth century, the dominant attitude was that a woman’s proper habitation was
