Alice Paul Alice Paul did a lot for women by challenging the law to get equal rights for women. She protested like no one else ever had, was chairman in the National American Women’s Suffrage Association (NAWSA), and founded the National Women’s Party (NWP). Alice Paul even fought for her rights in prison; she is a very important part in women’s history. If it wasn’t for the things Alice Paul did for women we probably would not have the equal rights we have today. She even worked very hard to write the Equal Rights Amendment.
Role Of Women until 1500 HIS 103 World Civilization 1 Todd Menzing Felice Ford November 16, 2011 Women in the early 1500 worked together in the community and in the church to make the local area a better place. It was watching out for each other children while they were out. When going out into the garden to gather food most of them would bring enough for the next family. They believe in helping one another out. I have chosen to talk on the role of women until the 1500’s, I pick this topic because I’m a woman myself and would love the know all about how unfair women was treated and all they had to take.
Avery had experienced a major culture shock from attending an all women’s college to finding herself be one of only four women in her class at John Hopkins. She grew to love it and remained at John Hopkins after receiving her M.D. degree in 1952. She was first an intern and a resident, then as a fellow, and finally became a member of the faculty. While at John Hopkins, Avery was the first woman to ever be named a Markle fellow.

Throughout my twelve years of school there have been four teachers that have really stood out to me, and I hope to impact my students’ lives as much as they have mine. When my mom and I moved to Franklin, she worked at Needham Elementary School. Miss Marchant was a first grade teacher there, and she is the very reason why I want to be an educator. Ironically, I never had Miss Marchant as a teacher. Instead, everyday after school I went to her room to help her do anything she needed.
Eastman makes it clear to her readers, that no matter the stance a woman takes on the women’s rights movement, a true feminist will always fight for what she believes in with courage and strength. Eastman states, “In fighting for the right to vote most women have tried to be either non-committal or thoroughly respectable on every other subject. Now they can say what they are really after; and what they are after, in common with all the rest of the struggling world, is freedom” (Eastman). Women fought for many years for their rights, women including Susan B Anthony, Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Stanton and many more. For years these women worked hard as activists for women’s rights and in August of 1920 the 19th Amendment guaranteed women the right to vote.

Women’s Suffrage in America Since the beginning of time women have had a different, sometimes unequal role than men. All over the world women have struggled and still struggle for equality. More specifically, in the United States of America women have really made efforts to justify their human rights. Since the first colonies women have expressed the right to vote and been denied or ignored by men. The Declaration of Independence’s wording specifies “All men are created equal.” Ever since then women have been determined to rewrite those words.
Quite possibly the most influential woman of her time and an avid supporter of worker’s rights, Annie Besant led an inspirational life. Born on 1st October 1847, Besant grew up in a middle class family of Irish descent. The death of her father when she was five years old left the family penniless. Her mother ran a boarding house for boys in an attempt to support the family, but could not support the young Annie. She persuaded a friend, Ellen Marryat, to care for the girl, and Marryat ensured Besant had a good education.
