Women’s Rights give women the ability to do the sames as men including getting a job, not being forced into a marriage at a young age, and the ability to go to school for an education. When the United States was beginning, men were more superior than women and women were expected to do house work and watch the children without having a job or education. In the article, “Why One Activist Thinks We Need a Men’s Movement,” by Kevin Powell it talks about Women’s Rights by discussing consent in sexual situations. Jessica Ravitz wrote an article titled, “Women in the World: Where the U.S. falters in quest for equality,” that talks about Women’s Rights by stating that the United Nation, that the United States is apart of, has adopted the Convention …show more content…

The author’s purpose and point of view are stated clearly by an international bill of rights for women that the rest of the United Nation has ratified except for 7 countries including the United States. She uses pathos to tell the readers that the United States does not have the same rights for women as other countries to show an emotional response about how the U.S. does not find these rights equal to everyone. There is many constitutions around the world including the U.S. Constitution but 32 of the constitutions around the world do not have a gender equality guarantee, which the author shows when she writes, “The Equal Rights Amendment, meant to give women in America the sort of explicit protections now offered in constitutions across the globe, was introduced to Congress in 1923. Both the houses of Congress passed it in 1972. It them went to state legislatures, requiring the ratification of 38 states. But by the time the 1982 deadline hit, it had fallen three states short.” (Ravitz, 3). Ravitz’s purpose and point of view is shown by the Equal Rights Amendment not being ratified. The author uses pathos to make an emotional response from readers about how the states did

Susan B. Anthony once said, “The day may be approaching when the whole world will recognize women as the equal of man.” That day will come, but many obstacles are in the way of women fulling earning their rights. Women had many viewpoints back in the 19th century ranging from slavery to presidential campaigns, but could never voice their opinions due to not having the rights to do so. Not having the rights to voice their opinions lead women to an abolitionism that inspired a movement for women’s rights leading to Seneca Falls Convention. The impact of Seneca Falls Convention caused a national movement in women’s rights.

Leaders of the American Feminist Movement began to draw parallels between the struggles of women and the plight of slaves, and pressed the boundaries of “acceptable” female behavior. The Seneca Falls Convention was organized to discuss the question of women’s right, and out of the meeting came the Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions. This declaration stated that “all men and women are created equal,” and women no less than men are endowed with certain inalienable rights (Doc 6). In demanding the right to vote, they launched a movement for woman suffrage that would survive until the battle was finally won in 1920. Yet, during this time, women who were black faced an even greater struggle.

What would be a world without women’s rights? Being degraded on all we women contribute to the world. A woman should not have to marry, why should she? A woman should be able to decide for herself. In the speech created by Crystal Eastman “Now We Can Begin,” Crystal clearly defines how a woman is supposed to be looked upon in society, not as a barbie doll figurine.

Women’s Rights were the great unfinished business of the 20th century. This movement saw two waves in the 1900s, the second wave coming in the 1960s. Women’s Rights grew as a singular grassroots movement, after having been systematically separated from the general Civil Rights efforts. Legislation played a defining role in shaping not only advances in Women’s Rights n the 1960s but in shaping what is known now as modern America. The world of the American woman at this time was incredibly limited due to subsequent societal standards seen following World War II.

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.

For generations now, powerful and brave women in the United States have cajoled citizens, members of Congress and government officials to ratify a Constitutional amendment that states “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.” In 1923, during the 75th anniversary of the 1848 Women’s Rights convention in Seneca Falls, women’s rights activist Alice Paul created the “Lucretia Mott Amendment” which would grant men and women equal rights throughout the United States. On March 22, 1972, the amendment now titled the “Equal Rights Amendment” passed the U.S Senate and House of Representatives and was to be sent to the states for approval. However, once the seven-year deadline on the ratification process came to an end in 1979, the amendment’s proponents lacked the ratification by 38 states and thus the proposed 27th amendment for equal rights was terminated. The ERA advocates continue to work together and utilize each other's resources in hope to finally pass the bill.

Rhetorical Analysis of “Women’s Rights are Human Rights” For a long time, women have been treated badly by the society that they live in. They have been killed because of dowry, they have been suffering from rape, and they haven’t been treated equal as men. Women were not allowed to take important decisions of their life, and they didn’t have a right to speak up for themselves. Therefore, Hillary Clinton was supporting women’s right in her speech, “Women’s right are Human rights” by talking about how women do not have equal rights as men, and how they have to go through tough situations.

On September 5, 1995, Hillary Rodham Clinton delivered a speech at the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women entitled, “Women’s Rights Are Human Rights,” which addresses the wrongdoings inflicted upon women and girls while advocating on their behalf for the greater-good. Clinton firmly believed that women, as a whole, play a significant role in humanity and should receive equal treatment, just like any man. Although her speech heavily swings towards solely feminism, her argument never became imperious and she asked that the world envision the change to come if the population permitted women to partake in an ever-changing society. In her speech, Hillary Clinton attempts to make the audience realize that to be female is neither a curse

The Equal Rights Amendment was a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution stating that civil rights may not be denied on the basis of one’s sex. All throughout history people have argued whether it is best to have human distinctions or gender equality. Ultimately, “The ERA would make women’s equality with men law of the land” (lecture notes). This federal amendment would make it impossible for legislators to pass laws that discriminate against women’s rights. In 1977, 35 out of 38 states ratified the ERA however, despite the widespread public support for the amendment, the extension ran out in 1982.

The equal rights amendment for the United States constitution would allow congress to enforce equal rights between men and women. This amendment would allow women the equal rights to wages, benefits, and opportunities that have been skewed towards men throughout time. However, there is not an amendment currently that enforces these regulations that could create equality for women. As a result, women receive oppression and inequality that can be seen clearly through many statistics and studies. For example, women only receive 83% of men’s wages who obtain equal qualifications.

Women’s rights are a monumental issue among the American people now. The Equal Rights Amendment would be passed for the sole purpose of enforcing equal treatment in every aspect of life for the sexes. Including pay, custody, and individual states’ gender laws. The amendment is heading in the right direction, however, what people do not know is that if the Equal Rights Amendment were to be passed how it is now, it would not have a profound effect on equal treatment as intended. Therefore, the proposed amendment should not be passed.

Women face getting treated differently, lower paying positions, the opinions of men, and the idea that because they are women they are not capable of the same kind of work men are capable of. The more people that support the different movements for women’s rights the better chance of this issue becoming more well known. Although some may know the struggle women go through to be compared as equally to men, there is still room for more to learn about this issue. Just because women were brought on earth to make more lives does not mean they are weaker and should have to go through this everyday of their

We all know that women didn 't have as many rights as men, and they still don 't. Women can now do more than they used to, but they still aren 't equal with men. They have had to fight for so many things like the right to vote and to be equal to men. The 19th amendment, the one that gave women the right to vote, brought us a big step closer. The Equal Rights Movement also gave us the chance to have as many rights as men. Women have always stayed home, cleaned the house, and didn 't even get an education.
