Arguably women achieved the vote as the social position of women was improving which helped erode male prejudices against them. The Married Women’s Property Act of 1882 and 1893 granted women full legal control of all property they had owned at marriage or that they had gained after marriage, by earnings or inheritance. Changing attitudes was therefore an important factor in winning women the vote in 1918 The militant suffragettes
“A Factory Girl Remembers Mill Work” 1. How does Larcom’s memoir help us to understand some of the effect of the Market Revolution on the lives of market revolution on the lives of ordinary Americans?

Her dreams, wishes everything would become incomplete and her talents and all the creativity she has everything got wasted working in a factory. 2.
Milan Tomic Latin American Lit Professor Owens 22 Oct 2014 Essay #1 It is interesting to see the development of an identity for Latin American Literature as we read stories that truly start from the beginning of the settling of the Americas. Two stories that stand out to me are "An Old Women Remembers" and "The Squatter And The Don" in which they share a common theme of pride and empowerment of women, something rarely seen from writings in this era. Based on what we know of the times when both pieces were written, it is safe to say that the role expected of women is that of housekeeper, cook, and bearer of children. This notion at the time was probably the general consensus of about ninety nine percent of the male population, yet in both stories we see female characters with a very strong sense of pride and identity of their own. On the surface of Eulalia Perez's memoire "An Old Women Remembers" one would think that she is simply a women who fits the mold of the roles of women during that time.
In the essay, Kasson looks at how the factories that Lowell planned and set up helped the growth of the states. Kasson wants to emphasize how the development of factories was a big part of the revolution. Lowell had an idea that hiring young women would benefit a lot for the factories. “Able0bodied men could be attracted from farming only with difficulty, and their hiring would raise dears that the nation might lose her agrarian character and promote resistance to manufactures. Women, on the other hand, had traditionally served as spinners and weavers when textiles ad been produced in the home and they constituted and important part of the family economy”(2) Lowell uses his logic to bring young money into the factories because he believes it will be a better idea.
Chelsea Lightner Professor Cheryl Cardiff ENG 230 Magic in Realism In the traditional Latin America, especially during the early twentieth century, a woman’s place was in the home. Every woman born into this culture was expected to serve their fathers and brothers, up until they were old enough to be married, and at that time, was expected to serve their husbands and children. These women, who felt as if they were prisoners of the expectations that the patriarchal society put upon them, would find freedom in creativity with cooking, crafts, and used storytelling, gossip, and advice as an outlet of their frustrations. They created their own sub-culture within the oppressive worl in which they lived. That being said, Laura Esquivel’s novel, “Like Water for Chocolate,” can be seen as a protest against the oppression of women in Latin America.
305358723 Rawan Amireh “Women’s role during the Inca Empire” In her article, Andean women in the Inca Empire, the author, Irene Silverblatt tries to illustrate the role of the organizational forms, which were transformed by the Incas to meet requirements of an expanding Empire, in creating new constraints for women. The author tries to clarify that although Endean women had a crucial role in improving the political, economical and religious structure of the Empire, as the Empire improved and expanded, they were being excluded from the state rituals, this shows that the social position of women was lower than men, and even if both genders were essential for the functioning of the conquest hierarchy, only men could really define it. Silverblatt give examples in her article on organization structures that were developed by the Incas during the expansion of the Empire that limited the power of the women and specifically gave the state the control of distributing women, She make a comparison between two organization structures, “aclla” and “yanacona” although the position of the aclla was probably similar to that of the yanacona, since they both were alienated from their communities to perform full time services, but they differ in other important ways, such as the control over women’s sexuality. An another example, was the ability of men to engage in polygamous marriages, however, neither the queen or any other women could legitimately marry more than one man at a time. Changes in political, economical and religious structures in the Inca Empire had different impacts on women and men, and on peasant women and elite women.
Her first project was to write a biography of Abraham Lincoln, similar to the one she’d written about Madame Roland. The time Ida spent on “The Life of Abraham Lincoln” sparked Ida’s interest in politics and made her more patriotic. Ida Tarbell’s personal experience as a girl in the oil region led to another assignment; a history of the Standard Oil Company. As Ida began to share the details of the effect the Standard Oil Company Trust had on her family and hometown, her interest in her assignment began to grow. John Phillips (partner at McClur’s) convinced Ida to write an outline to show to McClure.

It allows us to come to a better understanding of why she sought a life of fame and philanthropy. The psychoanalytic approach provides an explanation for how she coped with sexual abuse and how such victimization led her to act out in certain ways. Through the analysis of the neo-analytic approach, we come to understand the social influences that have impacted her personality. It is evident that her early childhood experiences greatly shaped her motivation behind the Oprah Winfrey Show. She has become a world leader in education and rebuilding young girl’s aspirations for something bigger, especially the underprivileged youth in Africa.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton used the Declaration of Independence as a pattern for her famous women's rights document. Her writing was called the Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions.” (http://www.datehookup.com/content-history-of-womens-suffrage.htm) Pioneer women often worked alongside their husbands on the farm or establishing new businesses and were often seen as equal partners in the relationship. They were far more likely to speak up when wronged, and it wasn't uncommon for them to own property in their own names. In that kind of environment, it was much harder for men to argue that women were somehow inferior, and a much larger percentage of men were open to the idea of giving their "partners" the same legal rights they had.
