Mary was the first black women appointed to the Board of Education, she became the first president of the National Association of Colored Women’s Clubs, and she was the first women president of the Bethel Literary and Historical Society. Mary speaks about the trials and tribulations African Americans had to endure during the early 1900’s, and how situations continue to worsen as time goes on. In her speech she goes on to make references how colored people are not being treated fairly and with dignity she believes they deserve. She makes it easy for her listeners to understand these injustices by referencing topics her audience can relate to. Her story about how a young colored women was turned away from a job just because the color of her skin can be linked with how women with higher capabilities than their male counterparts are still not receiving the position.
Christian’s basic understanding on the human nature comes from the bible. They gain their beliefs about human nature and life from stories, many of which come from the first 3 chapters of Genesis. However, most Christians view these stories as ‘myths’ which have a symbolic meaning. God created man in his ‘own image’ this stems from Genesis chapter one. He blessed them with the breath of life; Christians believe this is when humans were given a soul that a part of God lived in everyone that has a soul.
New forms of public life created by women - such as having an education, to fight for their equality of opportunity to get a career, fighting for their rights and changing their role from domesticity to public suffragists- reinforced their place in society. Women had many dramatic changes throughout the years dealing with their view as a woman, politics, labor force and popular culture. In the present, American women continued live in regard to work, family, sexuality, and political changes. A. Sara M. Evans is a distinguished scholar and Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Minnesota where she taught women's history since 1976. She studied women and gender studies as it can be seen by reading her book because of the knowledge she transmits about women’s history and all the stages women went through decades ago.
A woman once said "Educate a boy, you educate a man, but educate a girl and you educate a family" (Face To Face: We Founded, n.d. pg.1). This woman was Adelaide Hunter Hoodless, born on February 27, 1857, who was an incredible woman with the qualities of a leader and inspiring other women with her speeches (Adelaide Hunter Hoodless Homestead, n.d. pg.1). She changed many women's lives as she made education beyond grade 8 possible for women and girls as well as helping women reach equality with men. It all started when Adelaide went to Ladies College and met John Hoodless whom she married and later had 4 children (Who Is Adelaide Hunter Hoodless, n.d. pg.1). Then, tragedy struck in the family.
Paul in his concourses wrote about how fellow Christians should be portrayed. He tells us in Romans 1:18-3:20, that we are all sinners. Another idea mention by Paul was how God made a way for salvation to mankind. The Jews, at that point, was deeply interwoven with their faith, their whole individuality was bound in their belief structure whereas the Gentiles had multiple gods. Their personality was bound in the natural.

“It is clear that women were seen as in no way inferior to their male counterparts in the church.”[3] One woman, Phoebe, was given the responsibility of carrying his letter to Rome, was a minister in the church, and lastly Paul’s own patron. Women, in short, appeared to have played a significant role in the churches of Paul’s day. His message to the Galatians reflects Jesus’ proclamation that there would be equality of men and women in the coming kingdom (Galatians 3:27-28). Paul’s message in 1 Corinthians 14 says that it is shameful for women to speak in church. Ehrman tries to make the case that the Bible is not reliable because Paul contradicts himself in the role of women in the church, and thus concludes that one of the books is not actually written by Paul but is actually a scribal addition.
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.

This essay reviews the activism of African-American women in the abortion rights movement, highlighting the past fifty years. Many observers mistakenly view African-American women's struggle for abortion rights and reproductive freedom in the 1990s as reflecting a relatively recent commitment. More accurately, this activism should be placed in the context of our historical struggle against racism, sexism, and poverty. The fact is, when methods of fertility control have been available and accessible, African-American women have advocated for and used these strategies even more frequently than their white counterparts. For example, when family Planning was first institutionalized in Louisiana in 1965, Black women were six times more likely than
