Women's Suffrage In The 20th Century

Women’s suffrage was one of the most important issues the United States had in the 20th century. It included women’s revolution to gain their rights, where they fought hard for a good purpose, but the most important was the end of slavery. This battle caused the loss of human’s life for some and incarceration for others. This tragedy would have never happened if and only if women had an important voice in the society, had the right to work, and the right to vote. However, if women’s voices were important in the society, most of the trouble the United States had to take care of about women’s rights would have never happened. Based on www.nwhm.org women suffered from what so-called feminism. However, women were the “moral guardians,” and protector of the home. In that situation, women took advantage of it, argued to use their ethical guardians in the public sphere. That argument indeed started in the home of those women, then spread and became a worried
situation. Foremost, their husbands were against them, and second, the government also was a big pressure on them. www.history.com argued that women had started their campaign before the civil war. Those campaigns raised the anti-slavery reform groups led by women. By then, many women joined reform groups, efforts often began at the local level and blew up to states and national level. The question is why this ideology by women about their moral guardians turned into social, and political argument without a big opposition to it at the beginning? The answer is, women had another thought behind their moral guardians.
The second thought was, why they couldn’t ask for the right to work? Women’s job was part of the house cleaning and spouses, but it wasn’t enough for both the middle class and the poor female because they had financial situations. Women fought hard to acquire their rights to work and achieved it. Still, they are not recognized and called at the same level as men are in the workforce. www.laborrights.org argued that, “In many industries; female workers are systematically denied their rights to regular pay; good working hours equal pay for equal work; permanent contracts; safe and non-hazardous work environment; freedom of Association.” Furthermore, the social status of women has not opened up at the same pace at which women are in the workplace. This answers the question that women, should at least possesses a little organization, non-profit or volunteering development in the community, which would have kept them
engaged. The right to vote was another reform led by women in the 20th century. However, women should have a little opportunity to express themselves first in the house, and in their environment, which would never cause women suffrage. According to www.abolition.e2bn.org, women had any rights to vote and had any influence politically. Standing to the point that “all men were created equal”, they wanted to stop being considered as cheap labor. In conclusion, women reform to gain their right was the government’s fault, for not letting them be part of the community. Built upon the principles and experiences of other efforts to promote social justice, and to improve human conditions was part of their combat. Sexual freedom, job opportunity, and the right to vote, were securities provided by the laws that prohibit discrimination given to them after a long battle.
