Looking into the history of the United States of America, women have generally been neglected, mistreated, undermined, and had their experiences trivialized. Worldwide, misogyny is a concept that is not thought of as wrong. Even today there is little equality for women in America, and less throughout the rest of the world. Still there is unequal pay and an unfair treatment in jobs in the current day.
Looking in the past, women could not have a job nor a voice in any important matters. Until a certain time period it was questioned whether or not women even had souls. However, a lot of progress has been made with female rights since the dawn of time. It is important to dig into America's history and see the progress that women have made for …show more content…
African American women were part of organizations that supported both causes. This is when the National Women Suffrage Association, (NWSA), was born. The organization helped support both causes and even stayed true to equal rights.
Since women wanted to stay true to equal rights and to both organizations, a new one was born; the American Women Suffrage Organization (AWSO). Sojourner Truth and Mary Church Terrell were a major part of this organization as well as Stanton and Anthony, since they all helped form the organizations. In 1890, both organizations had similar ideas about wanting to take on suffrage so they needed to join forces to fight it together.
Thats when a new organization was created National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA). This was the next step in the plan to gain womens rights and end the suffrage. In between the years 1869 to 1896, four states gave women the right to vote, those states included; Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and Idaho.

In 1913 the National Woman's Party (NWP) was created and this time women would not stray away from their goal to gain the right to vote. The NWP would take action into their own hands a protest throughout the first World War. With this action taken place the NAWSA finally got back on track and came up with the “Winning Plan”.
The “Winning Plan” was meant for action to be taken, for both state and federal level. Gaining President Wilson's support, he urged congress to pass this Amendment and after a long week the 19th Amendment was ratified. August 26, 1920 was an amazing achievement for women but this was not the end of their suffrage (LaMance). In the end, even with the achievement of the 19th Amendment women are still oppressed and mistreated. Today in the year 2014 women are still getting paid less than a man. For every dollar that a man makes a women makes 77 cents (AAWU Econ Justice). Women of color have it worse off by making 54 cents for every dollar that a man makes.
