11.10.7 - Women's Rights Movement
Analyze the women's rights movement from the era of Elizabeth Stanton and Susan Anthony and the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the movement launched in the 1960s, including differing perspectives on the roles of women.
i know that though women got jobs they were not paid equally so that created activist groups such as (era) equal rights amendment & the (now) national organization for women
I know that the nineteenth amendment was proposed on June 4, 1919 and that it was ratified on August 18th, 1920. It was a major advancement for women because they finally gained the right to vote. After so many struggles, including when Susan B.Anthony and 14 other women registered to vote in Rochester, New York, in 1872, and they voted illegally on November 5th, 1872. The registrars and the 15 women were arrested, although Susan B. Anthony was the only one to refuse to pay bail, and because of her courage, she is more well known for registering and voting illegally. Although she did not live to see the 19th amendment be ratified, she played a big role in the ratification of the amendment. Women owe a lot to her, because thanks to her courage, we now have voting rights, and thanks to her and the many other women who took part in the womens rights movement, we have the same equal rights as men.

Great job ladies! And yet I wonder with all of these "equal" rights, are women really equal? What do you think?
