Women's rights

Women’s Rights ➢ There are many protests about women’s rights, but I chose to talk about the movement called “ Women’s Suffrage Movement “. ➢ Suffrage is the right to vote. ➢ Beginning in the mid-19 th century, aside from the work being done by women for broad-based economic and political equality and for social reforms, women sought to change voting laws to allow them to vote.

Women’s Rights ➢ Many women in the U. S. , starting back in the late 1700’s, began talking about wanting more rights through being allowed to vote. The list includes: ➢ Frances Wright in 1826 ➢ Ernestine Rose in 1836 ➢ Lucretia Mott in 1840

Women’s Rights ➢ Then, the women you REALLY need to remember started working: Elizabeth Cady Stanton started working for women’s rights around 1848. ➢ Elizabeth Cady Stanton was a leader of the women's rights movement in the U. S. during the mid- to late-1800 s. She was the main force behind the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention, the first convention to be called for the sole purpose of discussing women's rights, and was the primary author of its Declaration of Sentiments. Her demand for women's right to vote generated a controversy at the convention but quickly became a central tenet of the women's movement. She was also active in other social reform activities, especially abolitionism.

Women’s Rights ➢ Then, the other women you must remember, Susan B. Anthony, started working directly in the Women’s Rights Movement around 1852. ➢ In 1851, she met Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who became her lifelong friend and co-worker in social reform activities, primarily in the field of women's rights. In 1852, they founded the New York Women's State Temperance Society after Anthony was prevented from speaking at a temperance conference because she was female.

Women’s Rights ➢ They would both be gone by the time their dream was realized Elizabeth Cady Stanton in 1902, Susan B. Anthony on 1906 ➢ Their dream, votes for women, came to be a reality when the 19 th Amendment became law in 1920. Women now had the right to vote. ➢ As part of this movement, women would also see increased educational opportunities, especially in college.

The Suffrage Movement worked on getting women equal rights by getting them the right to vote.

“ THE RIGHTS WERE GAINED! THE VOTING PROTEST WON. VOTING IS EVERYONES RIGT!
