The Women’s Rights Movement; How It Started.
The Women’s Rights Movement marks July 13, 1848 as its beginning. On that sweltering summer day in upstate New York, a young housewife and mother, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, was invited to tea with four women friends. When the course of their conversation turned to the situation of women, Stanton poured out her discontent with the limitations placed on her own situation under America’s new democracy. Hadn’t the American Revolution had been fought just 70 years earlier to win the patriots freedom from tyranny? But women had not gained freedom even though they’d taken equally tremendous risks through those dangerous years. Surely the new republic would benefit from having its women play more active roles throughout society. Stanton’s friends agreed with her, passionately. This was definitely not the first small group of women to have such a conversation, but it was the first to plan and carry out a specific, large-scale program.
Girls have feelings.
For so long us women have been shut up and casted out as if out opinions don’t matter. That needs to change. Why is it that when a guy shows off his body he is considered cool but we are considered sluts or whores?
Guys are looked at so much differently then we are. Why? If we say no, we are stubborn or selfish. We are even sometimes considered “playing hard to get.” We indirectly lost freedom of speech long ago.
Girls have feelings.
Across time and culture, women rights movement have changed in form and perspective. Many argue for the notion that women’s rights are in the domain of workplace equality. Still, many say that even domestic equality is in the niche of women’s rights.
