In the late 19th century there was a great impact on women’s rights, therefore it was very devastating for the women who lived in America around that time period. Not only did they not share the same rights or opportunities as men, but were also being treated as maids. Women struggled to achieve equal rights for themselves, and they knew, they had to do something about it. Even though this was a huge issue here in the United States, it was also an issue in other countries such as Canada, United…

Through the westward expansion, World War I, the Great Depression, World War II, the Cold War, and throughout the rock and roll decade of the 1970s. Through economic difficulties, industrial revolutions of the century, women ignited the match for equality and change.

being treated unfairly, which caused them to found the woman's suffrage movement. However, the movement did not actually start until the year 1848, when two reformers named Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton called a woman's rights convention in Seneca Falls, New York, where one of the reformers lived. This was one of the first public appeals for woman suffrage. Another show of wanting woman equality came in the year 1916, when Margaret Sanger opened the first American birth-control clinic…
