Jordan Rumfelt Dr. Judson Women In the City 09-26-14 Essay 4 The effects of the Civil War—on individuals—was almost impossible to predict considering how unstable the environment was. It was evident that African-Americans would gain more freedom and that men would come home to their families, in which women had taken numerous jobs. When people think of oppression they always think of African-Americans, but women in general never gain the observance that is deserved. Since the beginning of time, women have been oppressed and thought to be less worthy than that of a male. The late 19th century and early 20th century was a time period in which both African-Americans and women in general were experiencing opportunities for advancement and change within society.

The second key group is the acceptance of Black women scholars themselves. Black scholars must be able to not only support you but also relate to the ideas presented. The final group is the confrontation of Black women scholars with “Eurocentric masculinist political and epistemological requirements.”
This paper will explain some key factors in the views of women all around the world; why women’s progress in achieving leadership roles has stopped making progress, explaining the main causes of women’s leadership roles, and offering interesting solutions that can empower women to achieve their full potential. Beginning in the early 1800s, many women took a leading role in the struggle for black rights. Black men had more rights than these black women and black men were not willing to let black women have an equal place at the table. This eventually abolished slavery then, led to the suffragist movement, which led to women winning the right to vote, and many other things. This led women’s rights movement of the 60’s and still occurs today.
Then in 1892 Ida wrote articles denouncing lynching and wrongful deaths of the African Americans, this was the start of her anti-lynching campaign. Ida B Wells deserves a national holiday because she led the way for the civil rights movement. Ida was one of the most important civil rights advocates of the 19th century. She was active in the women's club movement, which encouraged African American women to become involved in civic affairs. She also helped establish the first kindergarten in the black district of Chicago.
African Americans were segregated from the whites and also Women had no rights because Men were seen as the alpha male. The obstacles of the two would probably fit into the race and gender of how America was back in the twentieth century. African Americans were always hard to be put in society in the 1900’s because of slavery. Even though slavery had ended in the 1950’s, they were still not accepted into society. The northern parts of the United States accepted African Americans, and many try to escape to the north to try to get employed and leave the racial segregation in the south.
Subsequent chapters highlight HIV/AIDS prevention and intervention strategies that are successfully impacting the African American population. Guided by a feminist perspective and grounded in social construction theory, social work theory, and social work practice, this volume privileges the voice of African American women, the group that is the most disenfranchised—and least accurately represented—in AIDS-related research and writing. This essential guide sheds light on a calamity too often overlooked, making it especially valuable for scholars, students, researchers, and practitioners involved with HIV/AIDS issues in the African American community, and with women's and black

Though the most monumental part of 1990 was when the first woman was allowed to participate in combat with the military for the first time during the Gulf War (Teacher, 2009). Though there have been leaps and bounds made in the civil rights and moral rights for woman there are still some head way to be done. The U.S. Census in 2005 reported that while women over the age of sixteen made up more than fifty-nine percent of the work force, they typically only earned approximately seventy-seven cents to a male counter parts dollar (Morse, 2007). Another more difficult time that woman seems to face over men in the ability to have “it all” so to speak. It has been found that forty-two percent of corporate women are still childless by age forty, while only fourteen percent of them planned it that way (Morse, 2007).
IAH 201: U.S. & The World (D) The Women’s Rights Movement Starting In the early 1800s women began to question their general role in society and how it is unjust and unfair. Interestingly the educated radicals and working class women in early 1800s were still concerned with the roles and rights of women, they did not classify suffrage as being the prominent issue. The idea of women’s suffrage did not become the primary goal of the Women’s rights movement until around the 1850s, and then remained the primary goal up until 1920 when women finally achieved the right to vote. Further, there were many significant male and female figuresthat played crucial roles in the Women’s rights movements that eventually led to, but didn’t stop at, the achievement of women’s right to vote in 1920. It was in the early 1800s when women began to question various issues such as their roles in society and their rights as a woman, or their lack of rights and unjust inequality in comparison to males.
