Women's Suffrage
Women had to go through a lot just to get where they are now
Women's Rights
Women contributed to the war effort and they also contributed to their families. They have gone through so much just to have their rights. They raised funds,sold war bonds,worked in factories,and served as nurses.
Women Rights Movement
Women had to endure so much pain and suffering during this time just because they couldn't have as many rights as men could. So some women came up with the woman's rights movement. This movement was a way to show that women had the power to anything.
Jane Addams
Jane Addams, social reformer and peace activist, led the American settlement house movement, founding its most famous settlement, Chicago’s Hull House (1889). Addams was also a gifted lecturer and prolific writer. She founded and chaired the Woman’s Peace Party (1915), was first president of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (1919), and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize (1931) for her years of peace activism.
Susan Brownell Anthony
Susan B. Anthony was a champion of temperance, abolition and African American rights, the rights of labor, and equal pay for equal work, who devoted her life to organizing and leading the woman suffrage movement. A skilled political strategist, she was the General of the suffrage troops. Her strengths were discipline, energy, and organization and, after meeting Stanton in 1850, their partnership dominated the movement for over 50 years.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, author, lecturer, and chief philosopher of the woman’s rights movement, formulated the agenda for woman’s rights that has guided the struggle to the present. She called the first Woman’s Rights convention, with Lucretia Mott, at Seneca Falls, New York (1848), and wrote “The Declaration of Sentiments,” calling for changes in law and society - educational, legal, political, social and economic - to elevate women’s status, and demanding the right to vote. Her intellectual and organizational partnership with Susan B. Anthony dominated the woman’s movement for over half a century.
Summary About What Women Really Stand For
Women are a whole who stand up for one another as one and tend to remember what they all have been through. They all wanted to be treated fairly and have something to love and live for. They wanted to remembered in history as someone as who will hold down a nation and become the most loved. Not someone who will get judged all of their life and become unknown. Women need to be given a chance to do something once in a while.
