Do you know what is really going on in our world? Behind the safety of your closed doors there is social injustice. Our past and present is a world full of unfairness.

During the time of the 1900’s‚ we have seen the disgusting ways African Americans were treated. We have seen the selling‚ leasing‚ and physically punishing someone. There was torment that a human being had to go through because they were taken away from their homeland and were considered “slaves”. Now you would probably think that between enslaved men and women that enslaved women would have less suffering to go through. Completely false. Women were given the hardest workload and the hardest time

big changes happen for women in the 1920’s. What intrigues me the most is women would try to over power men and get a death sentence for what the believed in. These women who spoke up changed us as women today; we have more rights and power. “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that al men and women are created equally.” (Civil Rights in America) Women’s Rights began in the 19th century when women reformers demanded the right to vote and the same legal rights as men; women would stand up and fight

Women in the Art World Women have always been seen as an object to define the meaning of beauty. For centuries now women have been seen as the art piece and not the artist. There aren’t many women contributions to art from back then because women were seen as human beings just meant to cook‚ clean and be nice to gaze upon.
