This provides your essay with a clear, structured argument. In 1918, the Representation of the People Act gave women over 30 the vote, if they owned property or were married to a property owner. The major reason for women receiving the vote has been a fundamental source of debate amongst historians. Whilst traditional schools of thought argue that women’s work during WWI radically changed male ideas about their role in society with traditional historians such as Ray suggesting that giving women the vote in 1918 was almost a ‘thank you’ for their efforts, revisionist historians, however, find this analysis too simplistic. AJP Taylor, for example, argues that the war ‘smoothed the way for democracy’ and so there are other factors of significance, such as, suffrage campaign groups (WSPU & NUWSS) and growing equality with men.
In 35BC she was given the unprecedented honour of managing her own finances, this was important because it gave Livia independence and had set an example to the woman of Rome which had then influenced the woman to be of the same. In source 10.19, Suetonius suggests that by Livia being married to Augustus she had primarily thought that she had a large say in the decisions and influences of Augustus, but as Augustus turns down Livia’s request “I would far rather forfeit whatever he may owe the Privy Purse, than cheapen the value of the Roman citizenship” suggests that Augustus didn’t want to take

For instance, the writer claims that the book Uncle Tom’s Cabin and its common predecessor who attacks the topic of slavery in order for the abolitionists to unite together and fight for the same beliefs, isn’t fair or moral since they were disrupting the peaceful state that the U.S was in and shifting the people apart even more. On the other hand, the other passage written by the Southern literary messenger of Richmond also opposed Mrs. Stowe;s tale but he/she had a very biased opinion towards the South so he/she just argued using his/her untrustworthy opinion and very little knowledge. For example, the messenger didn’t think that the author of the story should have put emphasis on the abolition actions since they didn’t deserve the attention and it was unfair for the South since they their opinions didn’t get noticed. 1) C-1 2) The Pro-Southern Court Speaks (1857) 3) Author: Roger Taney 4) Author’s Position: Against Dred Scott and his wish to become a free African American 5) Bias: The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court has the authority to speak for what he favors and in this case, his bias leaned toward the South so he supported them by going against Dred Scott.

Susan Doran tells us that Great Britons still hold the opinion that, “Elizabeth I is both the best known and the most admired monarch” (Doran). Alexandra Briscoe states that, “Elizabeth I is considered one of Great Briton’s most successful and popular monarchs” (Doran). Given the efforts to reinterpret and rewrite history due to the issue of gender definitions attributing historical importance to the male and not to the female, the idea that Elizabeth I had this notoriety seems an anomaly of the early modern period. Was her high profile history and success due to luck, laws of succession and coincidence, or did she earn her fame due to her own skill, judgment and intuition? Is it possible her attitude and confidence were really not all that unusual for the time period, but highlighted due to the skewed social recognition of gender?
