Iron Jawed Angels did a great job portraying the true brutality that women went through in order to obtain the right to vote. Women and young children had their backs turned on them by police while marching in a parade. The police officers simply turned their heads when mobs of men started viciously attacking the women. The women marching were stepping far from the norm and rebelling against families, husbands, and even other women. Some women were faced with the decision to either keep fighting for equal rights, or stay with their husbands and maintain a family.…

In Iron Jawed Angels, I also saw the heartache and hard work that Alice Paul and Lucy Burns had to go through to fight for the rights of women. I watched carefully as these women voiced their opinion so demandingly and courageously that even in the male governed society they overcame their trial and errors. All of these obstacles that they went through were so inspirational because these women have shown us to always fight for what you believe in, even if everyone else is fighting against…
Women used many different methods to earn the right to vote in the Women’s Suffrage Movement. Alice Paul the leader of the NWP and she lead the Women’s Suffrage Act. She was willing to die in order for the women to get the vote. The women used many methods to try to win the fight, they picketed in front of the white house at one point. Every day they would go out with flags and banners and stand at the gate. One day the police showed up accused them for obstructing traffic and arrested them. In the parade they had floats and banners, lines upon lines of women walking and protesting against the law. When the parade was almost over the crowd had come into the middle of it and attacked the women. This showed that they would rather die than live…
When, Susan B. Anthony (one of the first suffragettes), got the “crazy” notion to be able to have an opinion on political matters, men’s pride was about to pick a fight with one of the strongest forces this world has ever known, woman. When first brought to Congress in 1848, it wasn’t even thought about. No was the only response for such an absurd notion. However, women were just getting started. They marched…
Susan B. Anthony was fearless. She was never afraid to speak out and say what she knew to be right. She campaigned to prohibit alcohol sale, slavery, and women’s suffrage against popular opinions and beliefs. On November 5, 1872, the day of the presidential election, Susan went to vote in front of a parlor. She was then arrested and given a $100 fine that she would never pay. Susan B. Anthony had nerve, and she wasn’t going to let anyone tell her what to do and that’s why she was a great leader. She had an idea and she wouldn’t let anyone get in her…
Women used many different methods to earn the right to vote in the Women’s Suffrage Movement. One method women used was by having a parade. The parade was good at first there was many people who showed up. But many people didn't like what the women were doing so they made fun of them calling them horrible names.They had bottles thrown at them and were attacked by men. they were beaten and the police did not help. But it paid off because the newspaper wrote about what happened and made it a national issue. Another method was picket lines at the white house. They picked at the white house to get an amendment would be passed. They were called names and were mocked by everyone on the street.They were eventually beaten once again by pedestrians.They…
Some disorders cause the thyroid to make more thyroid hormones than the body needs. This is called hyperthyroidism, or overactive thyroid. The most common cause of hyperthyroidism is Graves’ disease. Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disorder, in which the body 's own defense system, called the immune system, stimulates the thyroid. This causes it to make too much of the thyroid hormones. Hyperthyroidism can also be caused by thyroid nodules that prompt excess thyroid hormones to be made. A thyroid nodule is a swelling in one section of the thyroid gland. The nodule can be solid or filled with fluid or blood. You can have just one thyroid nodule or many. Most thyroid nodules do not cause symptoms. But some thyroid nodules make too much of the thyroid hormones, causing hyperthyroidism. Sometimes, nodules get to be big enough to cause problems with swallowing or breathing. In fewer than 10 percent of cases, thyroid nodules are cancerous. Thyroid nodules are quite common. By the time you reach the age of 50, you have a 50 percent chance of having a thyroid nodule larger than a half inch wide.…
Women had to endure and go through many struggles in order to gain freedoms that were automatically given to free, white men. The journey to gain these rights was difficult and took many years to complete. Women had to prove that were “worthy” enough to vote and have the rights of men. After years of these difficulties, women were finally granted the ninth amendment: the right to vote. The country can never forget how it came to be, however. During much of the 1800s and in the beginning of the 1900s, women had to fight for their right to vote through petitions, protests, and letters.…

Courage isn’t just exemplified in literature, but in the real world as well. Rosa Parks is a famous African - American civil rights activist who was born on February 4, 1913. The United States called her “ The First Lady of Civil Rights “ and “ The Mother of the Freedom Movement “. On December 1 in 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, she was on a bus. Parks refused to listen to the bus driver, James F. Blake, when he told her to give up her seat in the colored section to a white passenger because the white section was filled. It takes courage to stand up for your rights, so imagine the courage it took for Rosa to do something like that back then. She didn’t have any legal rights or any form of protection, and she defied the law. She didn’t want to be treated differently anymore, and she thought it was wrong. “ The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,”she said. Rosa wanted to do something not just for herself, but for everyone else who didn’t have the courage to do what was…
The issue regarding women’s rights is not a recent affair, there has been huge distinctive differences between men and women since the beginning. Starting from their different roles in society to stereotypical roles in the workplace as well as the home. Susan B. Anthony played a large role in the first women’s right’s movement that took place in the late 1800’s. The visual above took place in 1920’s. Three women apart of the National Women’s Party picketed the Republican Convention for its refusal to support the Susan B. Anthony Amendment, which was the Women’s Suffrage Amendment that supported women’s right to vote. It was not until 1919 that congress voted for states to consider the ratification of this Amendment. The three women included…
Iron-Jawed Angels is a film which portrays the 1920’s women’s suffrage movement. They led the struggle for the passage of the 19th amendment to the constitution which gave women the right to vote. Alice Paul and Lucy Burns along with other strong women petitioned, campaigned, and picketed to publicize the issue. After being arrested for “traffic violations” a group of women spent time in Occoquan Workhouse. Here they went on a hunger strike to protest being imprisoned for demanding equal voting rights. After not eating the prisoners had to be force fed, here they earned the nickname “iron-jawed angels.” This became a headline in the news and ultimately forced Woodrow Wilson, the president, to give in to their demand of the 19th amendment.…
In most modern governments, such as the United States of America, give the right to vote to almost every responsible adult citizen. There were limiters on the right to vote when the US Constitution was written, and the individual states were allowed to setup their own rules governing who was allowed to vote. Women were denied the right to vote until the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution which was passed in 1920. In order to understand how women struggled to obtain the right to vote, some key factors must be looked at in further detail; why suffrage rights were not defined in the Constitution, the efforts that women put forth to obtain the right to vote, why there are present-day restrictions on voting, and the implications of Suffrage in current political policy.…
“If women want any rights more than they’s got, why don’t they just take them, and not be talking about it” (Truth). Students can learn about past and present injustices from reading and studying “Ain’t I a Woman” by Sojourner Truth. “That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place! And ain't I a woman?” Truth recognizes that white women are not treated the same as men, she then realizes that no one is campaigning for her or women of color. She lived in a time where in most cases she wasn’t considered a human woman. This essay sucks i wish i stayed at cpa wow i'm pretty good…
