They adopted a Declaration of Sentiments. Suffrage will show you another reason why women s movements were formed. Women also formed many groups, which were the beginning of women s rights movements. They worked to remove educational and political barriers and to change the role of women. This stated all the rights and privileges that they believed they should have as citizens of the United States of America.
Susan B. Anthony was another great inspiration to the women society. She was an American Civil Rights leader who came up with what is now called the 19th amendment. Susan stated, “There was no difference between the minds of men and women.” She wanted to open doors to not only women but to people who were enslaved. Susan B. Anthony also made employers hire women, showing that women could work just as well as men could. She proved that women deserved the same amount of pay that men were making.
Birth Control: From Eugenics to the Emancipation of Women Sterilization and birth control was originally a way to prevent the “pure” stock of a country from being tainted or overrun by those deemed unfit to reproduce. Margaret Sanger was a woman who believed that it was a woman’s job to have the liberty to choose to reproduce, and to only give birth when it contributed to the remaking of the intelligent world. Sanger is for birth control because she believes that it fits the woman’s reproductive right and is the only way for her to really be free. In the early twentieth century, eugenic ideals got people to believe that individuals with traits that were abnormal compared to what was desirable were a threat to society.
NAME INSTITUTION COURSE DATE Women’s suffrage Women suffrage is the right of women to vote and run for public office without gender based restrictions such as marital status, ownership of property and tax payment (Sharer 64). The women suffrage movement strives to ensure that women are enfranchised i.e. they are given all the rights of citizenship. Women begun voting from as early as the 1700s, but their participation in elections was highly restricted by heavy pre-qualifications imposed on them. For instance, in 1776, women in New Jersey could only vote if they owned property.
Women had been fighting for equals to men since 1923 and continue to fight to this day to have the Equal Rights Amendment ratified into the constitution. Women were not allowed to take birth control until 1960 and even then it was still illegal in some states and viewed to be morally wrong to get a prescription for birth control. Women did not have to right to obtain a college education, some colleges would not even accepted female students. Harvard University did not accept female students until 1977 to obtain a college education. Women did not have the right to choose their own professions, and instead were
Equal rights for women Running head: EQUAL RIGHTS FOR WOMEN Equal Rights for Women Cheryl Neale Grand Canyon University Equal Rights for Women When you think of equal rights for women I think of who started it all, Mary Wollstonecraft the first feminist or as they call her mother of feminism. It goes back to 1792, her first book Vindication of the Rights of Woman. She bought up some good points that woman did not have the same rights as man did, We was subject to what ever they said for us to do. She spoke out on family, religion, education as well as politics. I am going to touch on abuse since that is close to home.
D. Preview: First I will begin by explaining the history of the birth control, second how it works, and last the risk of consuming it. E. [Transition: Let’s us review the history of birth control by the person who go it all approved.] II. Body A. Protesters like Margaret Sanger (1883–1966) supported in the promotion of birth control, relating it to greater freedom for women.
The Womens Movement: During the same period the Progressive challenge also extended to women. Like blacks, women were faced with the same dilemma: how do we achieve equality? Before 1910 those who took pert in the quest for women's rights referred to themselves as the woman's movement. This movement generally characterized middle-class women who wanted to escape the home by participating in social organizations, achieving a college education, or by getting a job. These social organizations, or Women's Clubs, gave women, who had no opportunity to serve in public office, a chance to affect legislation.
Stanton helped to organize the National Women's Suffrage Association (NWSA), which aimed to overcome gender inequality by encouraging the need for women's rights. Stanton was brought up well educated but concentrated on women’s rights. She used this ethical position as an activist along with her husband to put into the Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions everything she had learned about how women were being treated all around the United States. For instance, “He has denied her the facilities for obtaining a thorough education, all colleges being closed against her.” In the Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions read on the first day, Stanton used pathos with a tough tone toward an audience of 200 women to provoke rage and aggression. She showed us pathos when she stated "that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights."
Contrast to Pro-life perspective - Pro-choice believe that reproductive health care decisions should be made by a woman, they oppose any legislation, judicial decisions that unnecessarily impedes a woman’s access to an abortion. They expect access to affordable abortions, reliable contraceptives, youth sex-education programs, and state / government funding of abortions for low-income women. These lists of demands seem necessary considering the majority dynamic of American population living in or near poverty. If you deny women the right to choose an abortion it impinges upon their civil liberty and the society at large in many of
