However, the rights which were won seemed to exclude women. Many women did not like this and they wanted to be equal to men and they fought their own war of independence to receive that right. It started off small, but eventually grew into a big movement. Many average women would be remembered as someone great and their names would shine throughout history. One of these women was one known as Susan Brownell Anthony.
A situation like that is not fair. The inequality and issues relating back to women’s rights all around the world will always be present. Yes, women have made progress and demanded their rights; but men and women are greatly differing, from the way of thinking, all the way to measure of strength. If standards are lowered for women, how can that truly be claiming equality? As stated once before, women have made great strides but it will be a long road ahead if they wish to be up to par with men.
During the 1960’s, the United States went through a time period known as the Civil Rights Movement. During this time, many ethnic, racial, and religious groups rebelled against the discrimination against them and fought for the equal rights they deserve. Through these civil rights movements, many groups have secured the invaluable rights that they now have today. In the past, women, Hispanics, and LGBT students have fought against discrimination by their own respective civil rights movements, but they are still fighting for them today. One problem women have faced since the 1950’s was unfair pay.
An Under famed Rhetorician Rhetoric has been through many stages, from early Greek origins to modern day theory. It has shaped societies and has transformed civilizations round the globe. Due process states that we must accredit those who have contributed to rhetoric along the way. An area of rhetoric I feel that has not been explored enough is the contribution that women have added throughout time; particularly the renaissance period. Due to the limited amount of resources and the restrictions laid upon women for practicing rhetoric, it is astonishing how many women were still able to make a significant impact on the field of rhetoric which I feel has paved the way for women’s liberations rights today.
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.
Women in early societies lived to reproduced and continue the blood line, mostly striving for male babies. People in society in some ways believed that god wanted life to run as women as the follower or to be inferior. Women through the years pushed to work and for education and over time laws were granted to allow this for women. The people saw a need for more workers with more jobs now available. The turn of women’s rights has gradually changed so much that women and men are pretty much considered equal in most of the
Steven Buechler presents a comprehensive analysis of the role of organizations in advancing the cause of the woman suffrage movement (1866 - 1920) and the modern women’s movement. While the early movement was primarily a struggle to gain the right to vote, the contemporary movement has focused on equal rights in every sphere of life. Although large and prominent women’s national organizations such as the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) in the suffrage movement and the National Organization for Women (NOW) in the contemporary women’s movement possessed the resources and the organization skills to lobby the government, they were often estranged from the daily needs of women from minority races and working class. In both
Moving Forward Michelle Oliveira HIS 204 George Aleman 10/19/2012 For centuries in America women were thought to be inadequate to that of men. Women were in charge of the cooking, the cleaning, raising children among other less than appealing tasks. Still today, many of these views have not completely changed from our society, but in the United States during the twentieth century, many of the roles that Americans had become familiar with began to change radically. Women wanted equality and fought for it not only at home but in the work place, in education and the military and in other areas as well. During the nineteenth century, when the Women’s Movement was beginning, many schools were established
Women Suffrage Women are aggrieved, deprived and oppressed During World War 1, but they develop into strong smart people. During the World War 1, women wanted the same rights that men had. Women were tired of being treated differently from men. Women had begun a movement known as the Suffrage Movement. Women started that movement because they wanted to fight for their rights.
Over the years women have fought long and hard to be able to obtain and maintain legal rights and privileges that the male gender is born into. Females were molded and primed to play the part as an obedient wife and mother with instruction that your thoughts and opinions are kept to yourself. The perseverance of brave women helped today’s generation of women such as myself have the same equal rights as that of men. With all things you must have a burning passion in the pit of your belly to want to advance and defeat the injustice of this world. In order to put laws into effect there must be a group of people who all agree that new laws should be implemented because of majority vote.
