This essay “Well Behaved Women Seldom Make History” by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, a professor of history at Harvard University and Pulitzer prize winner, She shows how her one small phrase changed women’s outlook on their social standings, Her now famous quote “well behaved women seldom make history” is from the intro of one of her journal articles called “Vertuous Women Found: New England Ministerial Literature, 1668-1735” and has now become a cultural phrase we see frequently, The Author Ulrich knows that history is created by “those who make-or break-laws” (Ulrich), they are remembered in stories, books, history, and gossip and will not be forgotten.…
Gender is a socially constructed power hierarchy that must be destroyed, not reinterpreted as consensual, empowering, individualized “gender identities” that are magically divorced from all contextual and historical meaning. Such a framing invisibilizes female and feminine oppression by falsely situating men-born-men and women-born-women as gendered equals relative to trans-identified people. Though possibly unintentional, “cis” now functions as a significant barrier to feminism’s ability to articulate the oppression caused by the socially constructed gender differentiation that enables male/masculine supremacy. Cis is a politically useless concept because it fails to illuminate the mechanics of gendered oppression.…
Society has shaped us many different ways. If you were to look at society 50 years ago you would see that it was believed that a woman belonged at home, in the kitchen, or taking care of the kids. Most people think we have changed but if you watch T.V. or listened to most people (Male or Female) talk you would realize we haven’t changed all that much. In today’s world you still hear things like “he’s the man of the house” or “That’s a man’s job”. You may even hear “It’s the woman’s fault”. This is just one way society has shaped us since the beginning of time. Even Adam blamed Eve when he ate the fruit from the forbidden tree.…
When people hear and talk about freedom and equality, they think about The United States of America. This is the first thing that comes up into their mind because this is a couple of things that America value. Freedom and equality is what America conducts in now, but throughout the 1900’s this was not the case. All genders back then were not all equal, in fact, women back then had the littlest of freedom and equality. Sometimes the women would make a stand for their gender, and sometimes the women would let the society control them. Two women who decided to make a stand for their sex were Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Lucretia Mott when they started the Women’s Suffrage Movement in 1913 (Table 1). This movement was created because women in the 1900’s wanted rights to own property, vote, and receive higher education. Eventually in 1920, the nineteenth amendment passed…
“Women’s rights are human rights and human rights are women’s rights.” Famous words said by Hillary Clinton in her speech that was aimed at promoting women’s rights on September 5, 1995. Many activists, such as Clinton, Sojourner Truth, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, fought all of their life trying to gain women’s rights, because they knew that everyone deserves equality. Some of the rights that they fought for include the right to live free from violence, slavery, discrimination, and the right to vote, own property and earn a fair and equal wage. Women are entitled to all of these rights, yet across the world, some women and girls are denied these rights, simply because of their gender.…
Gender equality for women has become a prominent issue in American society in recent years but is not a new idea. The concept and struggle for equality, both of race and gender, go back to early periods of American history, many of which are characterized by struggle and development. A common example of this is the Civil War time period in America’s history. With many complex and intricate struggles as well as demands making up the war, many changes were made in the post-war period, including the role of women and the civil rights they believed in. Due to the developing nature of America in the Civil War time period, women’s rights and responsibilities were…
At the most fundamental level, abortion, the right to have one or not, is a reflection of the female role in society. Conflict perspective, which analyzes the power relations between men and women, illustrates how women are still not viewed as equal in our society. The governmental regulations of abortion, how, where, and when they can be performed, is another expression of how women’s roles are minimized in society. The fact that the government is involved in the personal choices women make regarding their own health and bodies is indicative of women’s lack of agency. Even with the advent of the introduction of equal rights our society is still patriarchal and predominately white. And when viewed through this lenses, bias is inevitable. Gender differences are a reflection of suppression of one group (women) by another group (men).…
For a countless amount of time, American women have been pushing for their equality rights. Women from the 1848 to the 1900s women have been trying to gain the equivalent rights granted to men for more than 220 years (Mass 6). The Women’s Rights Movement was also accepted as feminism, which it was the most important event in history for the millions of women who fought for their great success in reaching their equivalent rights and respect they deserved from men, and society.…
In today's society boys become men when they hit puberty or lose their virginity. But women on the other hand become women when they get married and have children. It was commonly known that men earn more money in the workplace, and hold higher positions. Since years ago women have been able to do nothing, they had no say nor, could they vote. Women were expected to keep quiet when a problem occurred and not speak up for what they believed in. It was the stereotype that "a woman's place was in the home". The men were out making the money for the family so it was like what could you possibly have to say when I make the money and, I take care of the family. Women were treated like underclassmen; they had no power. "The strength of a woman lies in her own hands", and it is up to the woman to speak up for herself and let everyone know where she stands. It is the 21th century and it is not like it used to be, where the women stayed home with the children and did the housework but, now you have dads that stay home and the wife is out making a living for the family. Women are becoming more independent; you have single moms who do not need a man to take care of her and her child or children.…
“Its gotta be the shoes!” (Mars Blackmon) There are many groups/discourse communities I belong to. A discourse community is a group of people who have a common interest. They also have their own way of speaking, writing, behaviors and values.…
A baby is delivered, it’s a girl! She grows into a healthy, joyous young lady. Little did the this young lady know that she has a monumental upcoming obstacle. The notion of double standards and the small weight a woman’s right upholds in society, crushes her own view of self worth. Effort she exerted to accomplish great achievements are to be overshadowed by a different gender or race, her reward miniscule, yet the criticism is massive. Now as woman she regains her self esteem and prepares for the battle to come, gender equality. A justice that must be served both socially and constitutionally; therefore women and men must keep fighting for the Equal Rights Amendment proposed since 1923 to ensure a just society in the United States.…
Many laws have been changed and many rights for women have been as well. There are now laws protecting women from harm and there are also laws allowing all women to vote. While our society is not perfect, people are still working hard fight for women's rights today. "Because it's 2015" - Justin Trudeau.…
In this day and age, women have liberties that are often taken for granted. Women have the freedom to choose which university they will attend (if they plan on attending college), what career they wish to pursue, and also who their mate in marriage will be. In early American days, liberties of women were looked upon from society as being wealthy and holding high social status but Judith Murray sought to change this. Judith Murray was an advocate for women equality. One of her greatest works were “On the Equality of the Sexes”. She was a woman that was far too advance for her time period and ours also.…
In the past women have had the minority of legal rights, being unable to vote or cast political views. They were inferior to men and considered to be objects. In the 18th and 19th century women were simply meant to raise their children and do chores around the house. In the past 100 years women’s rights have changed a lot. Their first major step in becoming more like actual human beings was in the 1920’s when a group of five powerful women changed the identity of women forever. But I’m not here to talk about that amazing story, I’m here to talk about their rights, right now in the present. Many of you may think that this is no longer an issue but unfortunately that is not the case.…
