Prior to this, women were uneducated and remained in the home only being required to cook and care for the children while their husbands worked.

Even though they are all from different eras they all three still do not speak of women in high regards. In fact, the Feminist movement would have a field day with all three. One may be a poem but it really speaks volumes of how the narrator felt about his mistress.…

Allowing women to vote would also allow for new ideas and could open new doors for the government and begin a change for the better (Document 9).

    Documents B,C,F reflect the opposition for women to be able to have the right to vote rooted in popular notions that women, despite their efforts could not change the social and political landscape of government, an immediate reversal in gender roles within the household, and that women were better off having men have complete control over the government for women's best interest in society on men’s behalf. Many believed in the idea that women were suitable for staying at home and were not well trained in their occupations, in addition to, believing that suffrage was simply not enough to change the important issues at that time. In (Doc. B) Gilbert Jones addresses women suffrage stating that even though women have received the right to vote in certain western territories of the U.S. no social reform has not occurred, so despite suffragists efforts of giving women the chance to vote it ultimately did not have much of an impact within changing laws.

    From the construction of this nation, to becoming America, this nation has promoted three main concepts: liberty freedom and equality.

    Introduction Long before all the laws that got women to be able to do things like get the right to vote, have high paying jobs or even be able to wear clothing that were above their knees, they had to go through many hardships. Beginning in the late 50’s though, the women began to get irritated with the way society was treating them and the inability for them to get a job and be equal with the men (“Women 's Liberation Movement” 2008 December)). Between the years of 1963 and 1970, there was a movement that some women might say was just as important as the suffrage movement. This was called the women’s liberation movement.
