She was an activist who fought for women’s rights, but she didn’t just fight for women, she fought for equal rights for the entire human race. She firmly believed in equality, that’s why I chose to write this paper on her. She is a great role model and inspiration to many women all over the world. So, take this journey with me through history.
What is very striking about how she went about trying to cause social change is the indirect way she did it. By today’s standards, she was very passive, but this may have been the most effective way for her era. As her husband’s political position rose, her influence did as well, and she used her relationship to ensure her persistent and persuasive writing, communication, and voice gained as much traction as possible. Abigail Adams steadfastly retained her beliefs about individuals, politics, and women’s rights for the rest of her life. Though Adams may have not seen a drastic change in her lifetime, she influenced
In the year of 1873, Susan B. Anthony had been arrested for casting an illegal vote at the last presidential election. This time period was known as the Women’s Rights Movement. Many women were beginning to acknowledge that they were treated unfairly by society’s standards against them, and had began to stand up for themselves and their fellow women. At this time, women were not allowed to vote. Most were stay-at-home mothers because men did not find them suitable for most jobs the men accommodated, and society discouraged them from even getting a real education.
Susan B. Anthony led the women’s suffrage movement, a movement that impacted the lives of American women forever. Although Susan B. Anthony participated in other movements, such as the temperance movement and the abolitionist movement, but she mainly focused on women’s rights. As a member of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, she was determined to bring American women their rights. To accomplish her goal of gaining full citizenship for women, she attempted to vote on Election Day, and then suffered the consequence of being arrested. However, this incident did not stop Anthony from achieving her goal.
Susan B. Anthony, a women 's rights activist, In her post arrest speech,(1873), proves that the government has no rights that keep women from theirs. She accomplishes this by first citing evidence in the constitution stating that all the people of America are free citizens, she continues with a legal standpoint of how you can’t disregard a half of the people, followed by a personal opinion on what this sexist nation is brewing in families, and ends with a dictionary definition of what a citizen is and a touch of anti-racism. Anthony inspires a change, with all the evidence and facts she leans you towards her side in order change the nation, she doesn 't want sexism to exist anymore than we want another war. She 's addressing all of the true citizens, not just white men but everyone born in the U.S., women, blacks, the whole 9 yards, and she talks to them, she tries to convince everyone to make it a true free nation. Granted it is a great speech for her to think of this on the fly, but it has a couple issues.
The full-time pay gap is up to 15.3%, meaning that women earn about of an average of $253.70 less than men per week. The weekly earnings for men is around $1,662.70 and for women is about $1,409.00. This pay gap has been going on for about two decades now, but the number has only gone down a small amount since 1997. Women would have to work an extra 56 days in a year to earn the same pay as men for the same amount of work they do.
In 1874, Susan B. Anthony was jailed for trying to exercise the right that all men were granted but every woman was denied, the right to vote (Document 1). Twenty six years earlier, the first women’s right movement convention was held to discuss the stark disparity between the genders. A fight that would last for seventy years, the fight for the vote, was a pivotal era in the fight for viewing women as equals. This was a fight against society that has little progress for a long time and the reasoning why is clear. The struggle of women is not a unique story, and the denial of suffrage and equality was led by men because of man's fear of losing power and control in society.
As women become breadwinners and started working in factories they wanted a greater voice in society. No longer willing to sit at home taking care of the family women became increasingly active in the quest for their own suffrage. They want a right to vote in order to elect politicians that had progressive beliefs. The first women 's rights meeting in the United States, was held at Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848. At this convention, the delegates called for the right to vote, among other women 's rights.

In today’s world, it seems to be that women have the same rights as men, but it wasn't always this way. The speech “Women’s Rights to Suffrage” by Susan B Anthony is the most compelling of all. Susan B Anthony persuades the audience that all women should have the same rights as men. It’s shown through the speech that the federal constitution says “we the people”, the government has no right to take away rights from just one gender, and that women are considered people as well. The fact that the constitution says “we the people” is a primary point in this speech.
The gender pay gap is a significant issue in the United States because it promotes institutional and internal sexism and the unfair treatment of human beings. An infamous statistic about the wage gap has been the 77 cent statistic, stating that for every dollar a man earns, a woman earns 77 cents. The statistic is calculated by, “...dividing the median earnings of full-time, year-round, working women by the median earnings of full-time, year-round, working men, all rounded to the nearest $100” (Glynn 2). This, however, represents males and females from all occupations, causing opponents to argue that, because it does not represent the gap between people who have the same job, a wage gap does not exist. Nonetheless, multiple studies have proven that a gender pay gap does exist within the United States.
It is proven that gender does contribute to a difference in wages in society and there for another cause of wealth inequality. The U.N. has found that gender discrimination is still a significant factor in holding many women and children around the world in poverty. In many countries, there is a gender income gap in the labor market. For example, in America, statistics show that “The median full-time salary for women is 78 percent of that of men”; despite the fact women make up half the workforce. One of the reasons women earn less income/money in their lifetime is usually because they are single mums and/or have more people/family to support on their
