People say “America is the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave” for instance, in Africa, America is a land where opportunities can be caught and be held onto. For example, I dreamed about coming to America to go to college and have a good career where I don't have to worry about money and expenses. Moreover, when my cousin went to school in Africa she finished high school level and wanted to attend college in America because the career she's interested in is not in Africa. America and…

Some of the problems with Women’s Rights were that they fought for suffrage. Susan B Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton were the the first two women to fight for women suffrage. NAWSA helped the women push for suffrage which were the women's right to vote. NAWSA helped President Wilson to get the suffrage law passed. Some of…

Susan B. Anthony played a major role in women receiving the right to vote. Her life was dedicated to fighting for civil rights. She never gave up on getting women the civil rights that they deserved. Women's voting rights were extremely controversial during Ms. Anthony’s time. Susan Anthony had the courage to stand up and fight for what she believed in, because of this, every woman should appreciate her. Minorities are included in the many different groups of people that would not have received…

One of the major themes that developed progressivism was women’s rights and suffrage. As women of the working class in the progressive era, they fought for their rights to receive the same wages as men, improved working conditions, and shorter working hours. Women protested against unequal pay and poor working conditions by going on strike. One of the organizations that influenced these strikes was the Women’s Trade Union League who organized working women into unions. In 1909 the International…

same rights? A free country needs free people. The citizens of the United States of America (mainly the women) have many more rights than they did 150 years ago. Susan B. Anthony (see Appendix A) audaciously led the United States in the direction of equal rights, and her legacy aided in the fulfillment of her goals and greatest desires. Susan B. Anthony’s early life and upbringing had a pointed influence on her beliefs and desires for a change in women’s rights. Her parents raised her in the…

Ever since time, women were often overlooked by society. The thought of women in a leadership role or making great strides in accomplishing extraordinary feats were quite unthinkable. Today is a new age, a modern day where women have tackled the gender bias and have taken on "only men" roles in the workplace, as well as have gained notable recognition and power in various areas such as the political market and in others where it was "men only". This presentation will argue the similarities and…

Between 1890 and 1914 there was an enormous spike in feminism due to the fact that women at this time were not treated fairly. Among such unfair treatment, women were denied the right to vote in the presidential elections. Susan B. Anthony attempted to vote in 1872 and received a hefty fine of one hundred dollars, which she refused to pay. Although the Women’s Suffrage League (WSL) sued for the right to vote, congress would not pass an amendment for women’s suffrage and declared that the states…

America has had a problem with women's rights since as far back as the 1920’s. From wanting the right to vote all the way to women wanting the same pay as men and to be more accepted in the workforce. Many people say feminism comes in waves. The first major ‘wave’ was in the 1920s for women's suffrage. The second was in the 1970’s for respect towards women in the workforce. And now there is another feminism event happening, but it's not necessarily a movement this time, it’s a revolution.…

As one can see in the speech given by Sojourner Truth in 1851, “Ain’t I a Woman”, she believes that women’s right and, even more specifically, African American women’s right are extremely important. In her speech presented in Akron, Ohio, she takes numerous points of her opponents and finds counterclaims to rebut them. She uses points such as how she has been treated compared to how other women have been treated, the lack of intelligence the men assume she has, and she even poses the question of…

Moral Courage - Abraham Lincoln Abraham Lincoln fought for the equality of all people. He was a proponent of women and in 1836 fought for their right to vote (Stewart 1). Lincoln displayed great moral courage throughout his presidency and life, as did the Jewish population throughout the Holocaust. Both Lincoln and the Jews suffered a similar fate with each being killed prematurely. Lincoln was assassinated and many of the Jews were killed in the concentration camps. Lincoln's courage has…
