We couldn’t have any job we wanted either. I don’t remember much of the first woman’s push to freedom, I was so young then, but I do remember what it was like in-between the first and second push. Many women were allowed to have jobs done by men in-between the pushes. They could wield, make airplanes, run businesses, and even make weapons all during the time of the war. Unfortunately after the war many of the women, including me, were no longer able to hold our jobs anymore.
This very much complicated the assumption that women should marry. A series of female educational pioneers had also emerged and their efforts formed part of a much wider movement of campaigners who sought to bring women equal rights to study, work, own property and vote. This resulted in a great number of changes in the lives of women2. Women had started to gain a voice in politics. This was a big change as, before this period, women hadn’t been able to put forth ideas to even challenge legislation let alone contribute to the making of new laws.
Because of this, women have always had little to no rights and their position in society has always been classified in the home. However, women have had enough and this was seen through their efforts in the twentieth century, most evident in the 1960s. The momentum of the women’s movement was gained at the turn of the sixties, when the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved birth control pills. This helped to establish the beginning of the reproductive rights that women will strive to pursue. Furthermore, women gained support for the feminist movement through the social media.
She quickly responded, "Well, I'm not too sure. I kind of live my life day by day, so I don't really have a plan of what's going to happen. It's kind of like whatever happens, happens for a reason." As the interview proceeded, I asked her many questions. About her past relationships, what kind of thins she likes to do, and how she has changed her life to become a better person.
A number of philosophers have spent their entire lives trying to find the answer to that one question. I do not seek to answer it. ‘Behind every successful man there is a woman’ however clichéd that may sound we all have heard that statement an umpteen number of times. And it does apply in the case of this play too. We see that initially it was Lady Macbeth who guided Macbeth effectively in his quest for the Royal Crown of Scotland.
Leon B. Bacon, a niece of Susan B. Anthony, stated later in life that “because of Aunt Susan's love for women and perseverance in her cause, I have today the enjoyment of a great many more rights and privileges than my mother had.” When Aunt Susan herself was young, there were no such things as woman's rights; all the rights were masculine. Women were ruled by a government and a law in which she had no voice. If she felt herself wronged in any way she had no way of making the fact known before the law. It was an unheard of thing for a woman to speak in public. None of the colleges or universities admitted women students.
LKBS. 10-27-09 ESSAY. The fight for women’s equality was a timeless battle. Although a lot of women’s ideas never got taken into consideration, they never stopped fighting to at least put ideas out there. In the late 1770’s and the next hundred years that passed, not a lot was accomplished for women.
Not all people had been given a chance to be citizens of the United States, and not all citizens have always been given the right to vote. All throughout the history of our country people have not been granted the right to vote because of their race, age, sex, and how much money they made. The lack of suffrage resulted in many attempts at political reform. Even though these reforms were met with great resistance, the Women’s Suffrage movement would gain many accomplishments over a lengthy period of time. When written and adopted the United States Constitution gave each and every state the power to give voting rights to whoever they wanted to.
But even if this is the case, it still does not apply to everyone, due to there being many couples who stay together for many years, even lifetimes. The fact that she arrived to this conclusion, can be attributed to the fact that she only analyzed this subject from an American point of view. She never considered the cases of arranged marriages, where in these cases the participants eventually grow into each other, and may eventually end up genuinely loving each other. As stated before, Graham did have some points that seemed to ring true, the contradiction that love is one big fairytale for instance. She was dean on about the fact that people do not live happily ever after.
It sometimes became kind of uncomfortable to talk about the topic of puberty with my mom and aunt since it was two different sexes, I never had a male role model so talking to them became very easy not that uncomfortable anymore as I got older. I believe talking with them and listening to the many advices they have given me through out the years got us closer as a family. According to the health textbook masculinity as well as femininity refer to the ideal cluster of traits that society attributes to each gender. Society is changing in many ways and one can see that in the models of masculinity and femininity. It is not uncommon in our modern day society to see a woman having a CEO position, or see a woman being a police officer, nor it is uncommon to see male librarians organizing books or stay at home dads taking care of the kids.
