Alice Paul Alice Paul did a lot for women by challenging the law to get equal rights for women. She protested like no one else ever had, was chairman in the National American Women’s Suffrage Association (NAWSA), and founded the National Women’s Party (NWP). Alice Paul even fought for her rights in prison; she is a very important part in women’s history. If it wasn’t for the things Alice Paul did for women we probably would not have the equal rights we have today. She even worked very hard to write the Equal Rights Amendment.
Film Review and Response to Iron Jawed Angles “Dress up prejudice and call it politics” is a profound quote in the movie Iron Jawed Angels, which depicts the struggle of women’s suffrage movement and its culmination in the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution. The battle for suffrage was indeed a long and difficult process spearheaded by ingenious and talented women in a variety of ways, such as spreading pamphlets, public demonstration, public parade, petition to the president. All in all, women’s suffrage movement could not be encompassed by a single movie. However, the move Iron Jawed Angels does show us the marrow part of this movement. The strongest sense of reality that I gained after watching Iron Jawed Angels is the ability of women to make an impact on other women.
Once united, Lysistrata proposed her plan to end the war. She asked them to be abstinent from sex until the war is stopped and a treaty of peace is signed. At first, most of the women were astonished by her proposal and did not want to comply. Then they understood that their needs precede their wants and decided to be abstinent from sex. In addition, the women assemble and swear
I believe this is not only true for the women’s stories in this book, but true for all women. It is very hard for to pick one particular story within this book that touched me the most, they were all powerful and had such interesting details. However in chapter two “Prohibition and Prostitution” they speak about how people get away with enslaving and trafficking village girls. The idea is to crush modern slavery, but for political reasons this does not always happen. It is known that crackdowns do exist and with the right help, training and rehabilitations these girls and women can feel they have purpose and worth.
Woman, Media, & Culture Exit Project Essay Breanan Foster Breanan Foster S. Moxness June 6, 2014 This semester has taught me a lot about women and the issues that they face. I always knew that there were many issues faced exclusively by women, but I had no idea just how prevalent things such as misogyny, abuse, and the overall dismissal of women and girls were in our society. This course has blown my mind wide open to not only the amazing things women and girls are doing but also the atrocities that still happen in our world. I am very fortunate that I got to experience this class and would recommend it to anyone who is even remotely interested in the subject. One speaker that really stuck with me was Dr. Carmen Poulin who came
Some strategies they used were announcing themselves as an independent party and denouncing Woodrow Wilson during World War 1, going straight to Congress, starting their own newspaper and holding signs at the gate to the White House. The women shown in the film faced many tough challenges and obstacles in their way to getting women’s suffrage. There were a lot of obstacles that affected both groups and that includes not getting support from the American population, not having help from the police, and being ignored by the
Also I thought that the Suffragists played a vital role in getting the rights for women to vote because they proved to the men that they could protest and campaign without using violence or breaking the law, unlike the Suffragettes, who resorted to violence when they wanted their way or when they wanted to be heard. Before World War 1 there, were two groups of women that campaigned for votes for women and they were known as the Suffragists and the suffragettes. They called themselves the Suffragists because they were trying to mock the word Suffrage which means the right to vote. Then there were the Suffragists they were so different from the Suffragists yet they were so similar. Both groups of women were campaigning and fighting for the same thing, but the way they achieved the vote was very different.
They took their battle to Washington straight to the President of the United States. President Wilson spoke with Alice Paul and her followers but was not willing to give them the support they needed to earn the right to vote. Alice and her followers decided that they needed to do more to make a name for them and to let the President know that they were not going to give up. In the middle of their fight for the right to vote, President Wilson announced that the United States was going to war. Alice and her followers continued on with her plan to picket in front of the White House to draw attention to their cause.
The following actions show that she is strong, determined, and fearless as no everyday women were of that time. Even after Jason left Medea for Glauce she was still seen as a strong character, even though at times she was seen as an emotional wreck. In revenge for Jason's betrayal Medea killed her children to see Jason hurt. The actuality that she seeks revenge is fascinating because women were not expected to be violent. Another aspect of the book that I really liked and thought that made a great contribution to the play was the involvement of the chorus.
Focusing in Thailand this subject has been a major cause to generate controversy as women argue for their productive right, this subject has all so passing the Fourth World Conference on Women, in which the Asian have moved in to the forefront. In Thailand there are many factors that are causing women to get pregnant, the prostitute industry, rape and teenagers mate are some of the major causes.

But still there are people who argue that it shouldn’t been done, it is a moral crime to kill their own unborn baby.
