HY203-007 Will Rall Women’s Rights in 19th Century America The early 19th Century ushered in a new era of liberties and freedom. Although the United States Constitution stated that all man is created equal, it seemed to leave out women. Women were always seen as inferior to man because of their lack of education, masculinity and political knowledge. Women’s rights only seem to get worse after the Revolution, as America’s political parties started to gain national power. In Sarah Grimke’s Letters on the Equality of the Sexes we can see that she supports Rosemarie Zagarri’s Revolutionary Backlash: Women and Politics in the Early American Republic book, because of the views they shared about religion and women’s rights.
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.

However, this trend has been changed but women have to follow various tactics in order to maintain harmony in the society and to stay at par with men. It took a lot for them to resolve the struggles of equal rights and to implement the same in real world without giving rise to any controversy. A few years ago women were never seen in influential roles due to many discriminatory factors but now the whole era has been changed and many women can be seen performing really well even better than men. This only has become possible due to the hardships faced by women in old times and how they fought for their rights
I live in a world that has patriarchy control.” Women constantly must fight for their rights, and sometimes they struggle just to survive without the power and domination of men threatening them. Look to most world leaders to see how powerful patriarchy is. Women are certainly as capable as men to be President of the United States, yet due to the patriarchy there has been no female President and probably won't be one any time soon. Although Kirsten has not experienced private patriarchy control, Kirsten has experienced public patriarchy as it is defined in chapter 5, p. 17. Public patriarchy encompasses the domination in the institutions of the larger society.
They managed the kitchen, garden, the orchard and the dairy through which they kept their families fed. The women would also help on the farm when they were needed. Some women even up kept their own farms adding on to their daily labor. On the frontier rarely was a farm able to function without the women’s participation or a household run without their daily supervision.

Valenti writes this essay in hopes of disillusioning women that believe they have the same equal rights and treatments that men have in America. She conveys a certain emotionally upset tone in her work (mainly due to her being a woman) to grab the reader's attention. She uses selection of detail to show the hardships of women not only in America, but in other countries as well. Valenti provides many statistics of abuse against women here in the United States as well as examples of evidence for the mistreatment of women.
If a woman does not appear physically able she may not get hired for jobs that require physical strength. Another form of discrimination is when a woman who has the same job title as a man and responsibilities is paid less.

This leads to hegemony, where the powerful remain in control. In today society, female sports do not get the recognition that men sports do in that they do not make the same amount of money, the same amount of respect, and the same amount of television coverage.

Females with bachelor's degrees earned $35,408 in 2000, compared with $49,982 for males. To this point in my point of view, it is absurd that women are still being underpaid for similar jobs occupied by men. Women worked hard in this society just like any men and still it is difficult for them to reach or break the glass ceiling that bare them from the executive office. This issue is not only a United States issue; it is a worldwide issue where women are
