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.
I believe that this is an important issue in our country that would help many others as well once women achieve their rights. Women are a large part of our population and deserve to have the same rights as men. Women are expected to stay home and take care of children and their homes but they also see many of our country’s problems in a different light. She sees these problems firsthand and cannot do anything about them (Doc C.) Women are stuck in in unsafe living conditions and are feeding their families with unsafe food. If women can not vote for rights, they can not help to fix the things others do not see.
Throughout her appeal, Grimke repeatedly states that all women “are our sisters”, because she wants everyone to realize that all women are women no matter what color they are. Grimke criticizes white women in the North for looking away and not acting compassionately toward “their colored sisters” while horrible things happen to them. She states that “our colored sisters are dreadfully oppressed” in America and those women have to stand up for them. If women decide not to act, then they may as well be termed “the white slaves of the North”. She wants northern women to stop being ignorant, stop pretending like they have nothing to do with slavery and start working together to fight the injustice that is present in their lives.
They wanted equality for women in the workplace, in society generally and at home. “After discovering that they could work in high-paying factory jobs, the majority of women did not want to give these jobs up after World War II.” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Womenroles_in_the_WorldWarsUnitedStatesofAmerica
Timothy J Gallant HUS318/SSC318: Adolescence, Sub Abuse & Crimi (Summer 2013) Women Behind Bars Silja J.A. Talvi UMA Campus 7/1/2013 The book influenced my opinion on women in prison because; I learned that the incarceration of at risk women does nothing to help them but does everything to help damage our American society and infrastructure. It should be a matter of great concern that almost two and a half million children have a parent in prison. This confounding statistic points to a growing normalization of correctional supervision and the forced dependency it perpetuates. Moreover, these children are set up for failure because of the denied access to federal benefits many of their mothers will incur due to the
Maid to Order: The Politics of Other Women’s Work Luis Erazo Laredo Community College The main focus for Barbara Ehrenreich was on building awareness about the problems associated with females working as maids. Ehrenreich reflects on the sixties and seventies to explain the roots of this issue; when housework was not seen as a job, even though it was supposed to be “the great equalizer of women”. Women were cooking meals, caring for children and doing all sorts of other tasks in order to allow men to focus on their job. Without a paycheck for their house duties, women were made to feel as though they had no real value for the family. Today’s problem stems from companies like Merry Maids that
There is one thing that is certain about the human condition that it is only temporary. We are all guaranteed to die at some point, so it is important to make the most of the time that we have here. A woman who clearly embraced this concept, Isabella Baumfree, led a life that was packed with accomplishments of all sorts. As a mother, Abolitionist, Minister, Ex-Slave, and Woman's Rights Activist, Isabelle certainly was able to make her mark on history in the time that she had here. Born a slave, it would be many years before Isabella would walk to freedom, begin her life of activism and eventually become the woman we know today as Sojourner Truth.
We are also supposed to keep our bodies blameless. “Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Thess. 5:23). Woman who call themselves Christians should not be partaking in this hideous crime against God’s children. God knows us even before we are born; He knows our eye color, hair color, how tall we will be, what are favorite music is, and everything.
All stakeholders responsible for the women health policy would evaluate the process to determined if the policy on women health objective are met. Evaluation consist of examining the final results of the policy, which includes measurements; sometimes the evaluation preventive plan is is included when the policy is first developed. Policy makers do this by identifying the goals and objective, which will be the deliverance of excellent quality healthcare services to all women concerning aspect of the women body and needs. Goals and objective are determined by the women needs, the organization objective, public opinion, and available resources, and many other contributing factors that involves evaluating. Needs assessment can be gathered by looking at current women problems, collecting data of demographics and the number of the population the issue affects.
The 1966 document offered a combination of stated beliefs, historical overviews, and firm rejections of particular social ideologies. As stated in the excerpt, “We, men and women who hereby constitute ourselves as the National Organization for Women, believe that the time has come for a new movement toward a fully equal partnership of the sexes, as part of the world-wide revolution of human rights now taking place within and beyond our national borders” (113). The purpose of National Organization of Women is to bring women into full participation in the mainstream of American society, by exercising all privileges and responsibilities that are the same as men. As stated in the excerpt, “the time has come to confront, with concrete action, the conditions that now prevent women from enjoying the equality of opportunity and freedom of choice which is their right, as individual American, and human beings” (113). The National Organization of Women is devoted to women getting equal rights.
