Dbq women role redo
In 20th century, women from many countries began to fight and gain new political freedoms and social rights. Women in Latin America fought for both justice and gender equality. Their main goal was to not only prove that women can have the same political role and are eligible to have equal political rights as men, but also to show that men need women. Many women began to prove that they can participate in political movements and help the nation. Jose Mpama could not just stand and watch men struggling to make a better nation by themselves. She said, “the time has arrived for women to enter the political guard and stand shoulder to shoulder with men,” to show that men are under pressure with the
political problems and therefore they need new sources, which can be women. (doc 3). Also African National Congress allowed women to “enjoy the same status as men…including the highest office.” This shows that the men have realized the importance of women in political society. However, they still continued to be sexist by saying, “special disabilities and differences.” This implies that even though the men agreed to share the equality in political rights, they still believed that women cannot do everything men can. (doc 4) However, picture on document 1 contradicts their opinion. The picture shows two women learning how to use a gun. This shows the dignity they have toward the country and clearly not the way men thought about women. Also, the women trying to keep buyers from getting European goods show that they concerned for the country because if people buy less European goods and more of their own [Indian] goods, then there will be more demand for factories which will allow more opportunities for people to have jobs. This proves that women also concerned about economics. (doc 7)
Not only did the women wanted to participate, but they also wanted to prove that men needs women. Document 6 is a picture of Juan Peron and his wife, Eva Peron. Juan Peron was only able to stay as president because of his wife, Eva Peron. Juan Peron was just an ordinary populist dictator who mainly focused on improving military technology. Eva, on the other hand, focused on social rights and campaigned for rights of women and children. Her popularity maintained her husband’s job that after she died, Juan was overthrown. Eva proved to all over the world that women are capable of participating in political movements. Lastly in document 8, women stated that they are eligible because they have the same burden the men have by saying, “we share our menfolk the cares and anxieties…” She is trying to explain that just because they are women, it doesn’t mean they don’t care about family and the nation which proves that they are willing to help. Ellen Leevw also stated that women are better worker than men and said “they [men] need to get our assistance” (doc 2) by verifying how “all classes or work formerly performed (by women) are now in the hands of men.” Similarly, in doc 5, Nehru, a male prime minister, stated that he was “surprised” by the women taking charge of the struggle. He called it “a remarkable thing” which imples that he was glad to see this happened and shows a positive feeling toward women taking part of the role. Additional document that could help improving my essay would be a document with a peoples’ perspective from other countries who were not involved in the movement because if people from other countries who weren’t involved gives their opinion, it shows how women in Latin America expressed their goal more thoroughly by spreading it to other countries.
