Hillary Clinton Women's Rights Summary
The article is about Women's Rights. I believe that this topic is amazing because women wanted to leave home and have a job. They wanted to be equal and have the same rights that men have. Women from around the United States meet and began protesting to Congress. They wanted the congress to pass a law that allows them to have the same rights as the men. They wanted the congress to listen to them and give them the right to do the things that men do. For example, being able to participate in politics, working in places where men can only work (factories) and many other things. In addition, in this article, talk about one of the women's leaders who fought for women's rights was Hillary Rodham Clinton. Republicans believe that Clinton participation

    This article spoke to me not only because I'm a woman, but because it seems that people are finally giving credit where credit is due. I feel like women deserves to be recognize more aroung the world. We do so much more than we're credited for. Throughout American history, you read about what those women did for America. Without a lot of them, we wouldn't be where we're at today. As Mr Lew mentioned. "I said we were going to listen, we really listen." I'm beyond happy that they're ready to listen to women.…

    In the beginning, Hillary Clinton starts her speech with achievement that women have been achieving which leads everyone to feel proud of today’s world’s women. However, she clearly highlights all the terrible things that women have to deal with, such as rape, burning, abortion, honor killings etc. One of the examples she gave was girls being abused and tortured because they are born as girls. “It is a violation of human rights when babies are denied food, or drowned, or suffocated, or their spines broken, simply because they are born girls.” She painted the picture the way her audience would feel sympathy towards these women who have become victims of these kind of violence. The audience would realize that these women weren’t allowed to have…

    Judith Sargent Stevens Murray writes on the equality of men and women in 1790. Murray wrote this for the public and explains the difference between men and women and how women were degraded in 1790. Murray writes about how women were not allowed to accompany their husbands to certain places because they were not qualified enough and it made the feel inferior. A woman’s place was said to be in the kitchen or sewing. Murray is not bias in her writing but may be looked down on for speaking out against how women were treated at the time. Men may not have seen how women were treated inferiorly and seen the writing as a woman being out of line. Murray’s reason to be honest is to document how women were treated during her time. I believe that Murray’s piece is well written and goes into…

    I have selected the Women’s rights reform because I admire the bravery of women who stood up for their equality and rights during the 19th century even though they were often abhorred on. During the 1800s, the position of women was legally and socially inferior to men.. They could not vote and own property if they are married. When the abolition and temperance movement arose in the 1830s, women saw this as a chance to get involved. Soon enough, Women reformers began to publicize not only for temperance and abolition, but also for women’s rights, saying that men and women are created equal and should be treated as such under the law. Eventually the three movements merged together. Not only did women benefited from this movement, but slaves as…

    The first reason why this period was so essential to the equal rights of women was the fact that they now held many new political statuses. Political statuses changed for the better and is a main component for women's success during this period. For three reasons it was a main component women could form labor unions, political positions were available for the first time, and could volunteer for high end jobs for USOs or the Red Cross. Now many women flooded the workplace as men went off to go fight in the war. Women were always viewed as dainty and stupid. When women worked before the war they were viewed as minorities and were discriminated out labor unions. Now that women dominated the workplace, for the first time they were able to finally…

    In her speech “On Woman’s Right to Vote”, Susan B. Anthony argues that women should get equal rights as men and have the ability to vote. She is mainly using logos in her argument as a form of reasoning to be persuasive. Logos is one of the most important techniques to use in a argument because you can persuade an audience by using logical reasoning, and Anthony understands this. She uses supporting facts to back up her claim. She states that, “this evening to prove to you that in thus voting, I not only committed no crime, but, instead, simply exercised my citizen's rights, guaranteed to me and all United States citizens by the National Constitution” (Anthony). Anthony asserts that the Constitution states all citizens of the United States have the right to vote. Therefore, this gives the equal and natural rights of all people a voice in the government, including women. By using logos throughout her speech she can appeal to the audience with logic and reason.…

    In the 18th to 19th century, during the Industrial Revolution, gender equality rights were harsh making it difficult to work in the textile mills. Factories required Women and young children to take on the roles as mill workers to help the families to survive.

    t was a long and difficult struggle for women to gain the right to vote in the United States. Equality between the sexes has been an issue for centuries, not just in modern times.

This was the year of the first women's rights convention, which was held in Seneca Falls, New York. It was not until over 70 yeas later that women were finally given the right to vote when the 19th amendment was completely ratified in 1920.…

    Throughout most of history, women had fewer legal rights and career opportunities than men did. Women mostly had jobs as a seamstress or kept boarding houses, some of the women had the same jobs as men. For an example, according to “Women’s History in America” in 1890 a slim amount of the women were doctors, but 95% of doctors were men in the United States. Another example of what women were not allowed to do is vote, married women were not allowed to obtain property rights, if a couple happen to get a divorce woman had no parental rights, and women had to obey laws even though they had no say in the law in the first place. This is just a few of the many unequal things that happened to women. It is a turning point in women’s history…
