Males still see females as patriarchal women, not as leaders or decision makers.
Steven Buechler presents a comprehensive analysis of the role of organizations in advancing the cause of the woman suffrage movement (1866 - 1920) and the modern women’s movement. While the early movement was primarily a struggle to gain the right to vote, the contemporary movement has focused on equal rights in every sphere of life. Although large and prominent women’s national organizations such as the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) in the suffrage movement and the National Organization for Women (NOW) in the contemporary women’s movement possessed the resources and the organization skills to lobby the government, they were often estranged from the daily needs of women from minority races and working class.

Past Struggles Paved the Way for Women Today American History Since 1865 Gretchen Henderson January 22, 201 Since biblical times, women have been subjugated to allowing others to make decisions for them. There has been a series of assumptions and usurpations of power over women. This is because women were falsely deemed as the weaker gender and referred to as the “weaker sex” and not being able to make life’s decisions on their own.

Black women were forced to endure the same hard labor that black men were, but still received fewer rights. Truth then goes on to speak about the religious reasoning behind why women shouldn’t have as many rights saying “Dat little man in black dar, he say women can’t have as much rights as men, ‘cause Christ wasn’t a woman”( Marable and Mullings, 2009, 68).
