Her work when she graduated took her to England where she became active in the Women's Suffrage Movement, which followed by her joining the National American Woman Suffrage Association. This is where Alice realized her true calling. She didn't want to be the social worker she graduated college to be. She wanted to win the battle of equal rights for women. Alice Paul, a Quaker, invariably described by her contemporaries as “slight and frail,” was by temperament and training a
I believe that the fact she was a female writer inspired her to stand up for the Native Americans. She obviously must have felt in some ways similar discrimination from the white males as the Indians experience (white males superior over females and Indians). 2. According to this sketch, what was the most severe danger they faced? There were many threats posed to the Indians by the white settlers.
Jane Tompkins wanted to know the answer to the question of, “All I wanted was a general ideal of what happened between the English settlers and natives in the seventeenth-century New England.” (Tompkins200) She had no ideal of confusing or false information she would come into while trying to find an answer. She researched several writers and scholars who only told half the truth and not the full facts. She saw in the writers writing their opinion instead of facts. Her first research began with Perry Miller who wrote about the movement of European culture. Miller showed in his writing how bias he was with seeing the truth about the Indians.
They told her it was a fine idea, but impossible; it was too expensive, and such education was not available to women. Yet Blackwell reasoned that if the idea were a good one, there must be some way to do it, and she was attracted by the challenge. She convinced two physician friends to let her read medicine with them for a year, and applied to all the medical schools in New York and Philadelphia. She also applied to twelve more schools in the northeast states and was accepted by Geneva Medical College in western New York State in 1847. By persevering she was able to set a good example for women to
The Life and Times of Sara Baartman The Life and Times of Sara Baartman is a film about a Khoi Khoi woman who was taken to Europe in the early 1800s. She was exhibited as a freak show and was scientifically examined by three scientists. Sara Baartman was born in the Eastern Cape in 1790. Her village was attacked by Europeans and she was taken to Cape Town to work as a slave for a farmer named Peter Cezar.

a. Designated boundaries for reservations b. Use of military force c. Treaties and compensation d. Gold rushes e.

However, after analyzing the full text, Mari Sandoz’s representation of Crazy Horse is more than just the basic story about the government pushing the Indians from their homeland and confining them to designating areas. There is a direct parallel to our current governmental situation, as elected officials push their way into areas they should not go and do not deserve to be. Furthermore, we have a greater problem in that there really is a lack of a Crazy Horse in our times to fight back. As I think more, though, I laugh because maybe our Peace Studies class will create some Crazy Horses. This novel is quite fitting to end the semester, because it seeks to teach us that to make an impact and to make a change, we must fight the norm and not accept the status quo, just as we have been trying to
Then centuries later, the Indian Removal Act of 1830 where the Indians were removed from their native grounds and put them on reservations.
