By looking at the Red Stockings Manifesto (published in 1969), and The Combahee River Collective Statement (published in 1977), we can look at the ways in which the ‘radical women’s movement’ and the ‘multicultural’ women’s movement developed their analysis.

That protest gained worldwide attention and it made its mark by telling the world that equality is for everyone. The city officials could not pretend that the Civil Rights Movement isn’t a big deal (Gilmore). The U.S. Department of Justice had to step in and help end the protest on May 10. The SCLC and the local government reached a deal where the city would desegregate and release the children from jail, only if the SCLC would stop the protests and boycotts (Children’s Crusade). The whole protest was a turning point in favor of the Civi Rights Movement (Gilmore), and it inspired the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom campaign and the Civil Rights act of 1964 (Children’s Crusade).

Reactions to this memo varied. Some white women in the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and the New Left handed out the memo in support of its statements.

The March that Changed the Nation I believe that our nation has finally come to understand what Martin Luther King Jr.s dream actually meant. However, because we understand this doesn’t mean we’ve all acted to make it become true. I believe that it’s hard for some people to forgive and adapt to the new ways of life. In Martin’s speech he says “One day all White and Black children will One day hold hands”.

The values that the School presents in its mission statement are not just words for me. As a lesbian, I have lived the oppression of a society grounded in heterosexist patriarchy, and have experienced firsthand the social and economic injustices suffered by my women and lesbians friends, as well as the working poor. A quiet person by nature, I have discovered a voice that I did not know I had. I have added my voice to those seeking equal rights for same sex partners and continue my struggle to receive health care benefits for my partner of 15 years. I have come to recognize and value the strengths and resiliencies I have developed by necessity to survive the neglect and abuse of my childhood and use these in my ongoing struggle against the

As a student with a dynamic yet focused vision for the future I am constantly engaging in new opportunities to advance my education and gain real world experience. I possess a deep sense of patriotism, and believe strongly that there is strength in diversity. That being said I keep thinking back to that warm September day stained with the image of terror and feel that it is my calling to work within the U.S. Intelligence Community to ensure an event like it never occurs again. Academically I am not only passionate about computer science, mathematics, and physics but also of government. By working within the Intelligence Community I would be able to utilize my passions in ways that would also protect our country.

To begin with, the tale I choose to write about was the “ Wife of Bath”. The news article I decided to compare the tale of “The Wife of Bath”, is “Women 's Rights March” . Also see a good comparison between the tale and the article if you read the “Wife of Bath” women would get raped and they had alot of desire that they wanted from their husbands women would get abused from time to time by a man during that period of time, women didn 't have any say or power during that time period so basically women had no choice but to let men take control or they would suffer the consequence. Basically in the article the women had no say in anything what’s so ever. Trump is trying to stop women from voting all across the world.

Ain’t I a women”, Angela Davis’ “Women Race and Class” or again Audre Lorde’s “Age, Race, Class and Sex” all aim to shift the focus from a singular and homogenous examination of women’s lives to one that includes the variety and complexity of all women.
