The women’s rights movement in the 1900’s fought for women’s right to vote and equality, for the most part. Women of color and women of different religions were sometimes excluded and Alice Paul, the leader of the National Women’s Party was no exception “Paul 's charismatic speaking and organizing abilities won her and the National Woman 's Party many supporters, but her domineering elitism, aloofness, anti-Semitism, and dilution of black women 's participation in the suffrage fight evoked criticism from others” (“Commentary on Alice Paul”). So, my advice to Alice is when fighting for equality you can not forget about groups of people and dismiss them. They deserve the same rights as you. this way, in the future it will make it easier for these groups of people that are already fighting against injustice to improve their lives, instead of fighting against what leaders of the time say.
By showing how discrimination, exclusion, and inequality are the consequences of such attitudes, Wong aims to educate and empower readers about disability rights and activism. Wong's audience includes a broad range of individuals, including disabled people, disability activists, advocates, scholars, policymakers, and non-disabled individuals interested in disability rights and inclusion. The essay mainly targets non-disabled individuals who may be less familiar with disability issues. It offers insights into the experiences and struggles of disabled people and guides how non-disabled individuals can be allies in the fight for disability justice. It challenges ableist attitudes and assumptions prevalent in society and encourages readers to reconsider their views on disability.
Dear Joshualy, As a woman, I enjoyed your analyst of the events that changed the countries perception of how women should be treated. Prior to World War II women’s role in society was homemakers and mothers. The need for women in the workforce because most of the men were at war proved that women were capable of doing as good and even better than men. This created the Women’s Right Movement in 1950’s and 1960’s.
The Women’s Movement was a symbolic movement in achieving political and civil equality. It assisted women lifestyles in the United States, granting them equal opportunities as men. Therefore, the Equal Rights Amendment guaranteed equal rights with men and the Equal Pay Act guaranteed equal pay. But these opportunities rarely helped women since they were prohibited and discriminated from universities and communal school, young girls have to be taught at home by mothers due to the segregation from males and females. In the 1960s, organizations were predominantly constructed for women since they were driven away from society of men and can’t attend schools and colleges.
“I raise up my voice- not so I can shout but so that those without a voice can be heard…,” once said Malala Yousafzai. Women’s rights in the 1930s were a serious issue. Women had just received the right to vote, yet there was still many discriminatory actions towards women. This dramatic period in time took place during the Great Depression, which caused women’s rights to be overlooked.
as they did not gain or keep the access to the professionals nor did they come close to earning equal pay for the same type of work if they continued to hold their jobs after the men returned. Because of the frustrations held by these women, it the led to the start of feminist movements. The late 1950s and 60s became years of change for women with people becoming more vocal about equal rights for women. This led to President Kennedy, in 1961, establishing the Commission on the Status of Women which examined issues relating to women because of the growing interest in women’s rights (Sink).
All people deserve equal rights, no matter what. African Americans who lived during the 1960’s were treated unfairly: They couldn’t use the same bathrooms at white people, they couldn’t swim in the same pool as white people, and they couldn’t even drink from the same drinking fountain as white people. African Americans even went to Vietnam to fight for the common good of their country, though they weren’t even well respected after they risked their lives for their country. After a long time of being treated unfairly, people realized they needed to fight for equal rights. Both adults and young people had to help to change the nation.
The United States has improved greatly over the past century, and many things have changed/advanced overtime. Although many issues have been solved, one reoccurring issue from the 1920’s that still exists today is women’s rights. The issues regarding Women’s rights does not remain the same today as it was during the 1920’s, but it is still something the United States struggles with. Right before the 1920’s, women were not allowed to vote. They protested this unjust law because they believed that they deserved a voice in the government and should have the right to express their opinion.

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, women began to move to big cities by themselves, like Chicago, in order to find jobs. This was because they had gained independence, but that meant that they were going to be on their own for the first time. Women were naive and unaware to certain aspects of the world because they had never experienced freedom like this before. Their lack of knowledge about being on their own is one of the reasons why they were so susceptible to Dr. H.H. Holmes. The women were weak and vulnerable, many of them taking jobs where they worked for men.
Instantly, disabled Americans were labeled as different from everyone else, “less American” than everyone else. The main issue was that no one knew how to help accommodate the lives of disabled so that they could have the equal and fair right that were granted to them when they came to America. The process of protecting the disabled has taken so long because of the social rejection Americans have towards them, because even after the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the disabled were still segregated and discriminated. In the remarks President George H.W. Bush made on the day of the signing of the ADA, he explained how he believed that American have “a sacred duty to ensure that every other American's rights are also guaranteed” in America so that a brighter future with
During the 1960s and 1970s, women fought for equal treatment throughout the work environment. Laws such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 attempted to block discrimination based on gender, but women continued to receive unequal payment and faced prevalent roadblocks in certain jobs. Women joined labor movements to improve these conflicts and fought in court against unfairness. Paving the way for the future working women, organizations and women helped change laws and perspectives, making workspaces more equal over time. The significance of the Women's Rights Movement led to increased awareness and efforts to address unequal pay, limited career opportunities and harassment based on gender.
Years of the 1960 decade were of social reforms, demonstration and protest. African American people were demonstrating for civil rights, women were demonstrating for equal rights and there was a protest against Vietnam war. In a way 1960s years marked the beginnings of several happenings on political and social front. As mentioned in “The Seventies” article on CNN “So much of what began in the 1960s only fully developed in the 1970s. The seeds may have been planted but they didn't truly begin to bear fruit until the subsequent decade.”
Many women were just known as housewives and mothers. 1960 was the decade to change things for this. It was both the best of times and the worst of times for many in this generation. Women couldn't open a bank account or establish a line of credit unless they had a husband or another man like their father to cosign for them. Women were not allowed to serve a on jury, or ever get a credit card without their husband present.
The End of the Game Although the bed was quite comfortable, Rainsford could not seem to fall asleep. He stared up at the ceiling and studied the patterns through the faint light coming from the bright, full moon as it peaked through the window. He turned on his side, his back towards the window. He began to sink into deep thought instead of a deep sleep. Nothing seemed… “real” to him at this point.
