The Women's Movement

If these statistics have been true for the past decade, there should be more women in higher roles in the workplace. There are still many more men bosses than women although more women earn Bachelor’s degrees. Recently, “women are being cleared to play a greater role in combat — and vie for thousands of jobs — after the military conducted an internal review of how they might perform in artillery, armor and infantry roles” (Chappell). Although it is great that women are now going to be able to have roles in combat, it took many years for them to reach these roles. Since the 1970’s, women have been able to attend service academies.

Women’s contribution to World War I has made a positive impact on politicians and the general public. British women started to earn the respect and admiration they all longed for. Women have been seen as inferior to men both socially and legally, and also referred to as the ‘weaker sex’. However, women have proven themselves that they’re just as skilled and responsible as men.

However, the 19th century saw many important works regarding women’s rights being published. One of the most significant of these was John Stuart Mill and his wife Harriet’s 1869 book The Subjection of Women (832). Mill used his unique position as a member of Parliament to have his opinion be heard and carry weight. His wife contributed to the book prior to her untimely death, and the arguments presented were an affront to the norms of European society (“The Subjection”). His opinions defending women’s rights were logical and appealed to humanistic values, arguing that humankind was being held back from its full potential by confining half of the population to the household and not educating them (“The Subjection”).

For many hundreds of years women have endeavored towards gaining equality with men. They have been repressed and opportunities have been taken from them due to the fact that they are women. Feminism is defined as the theory of political, economic, and social equality of the sexes (www.merriam-webster.com). It is the feminist movement that has been trying to give rights to women who have been impoverished of their equality and immunities that man has been depriving them of. Feminism is allowing women to be many things they weren’t able to be before.

The success of this movement starts after the boom of American economy. At that time many jobs were available. Also at that time the society accepted the idea of women working. However, the salary at that time was still little comparing to men. Because of that many women start to enter schools of medical, laws, and

Impact of Elizabeth Cady Stanton in Women Rights and Suffrage Movement Women rights for some time were violated with men being preferred in all endeavors to women. This led to the formation of women movements made of human rights activists especially those of women. The rights movements’ history in the united states dates back in the 1840s when women started championing for their rights. Women suffrage (otherwise called women's entitlement to vote) is the privilege of women to vote in decisions. Constrained rights to cast votes were first obtained by women in western states of the United States, Sweden, Iceland and Finland in the late 19th century.

Especially when one realizes the major gap that already exists. The Women’s Sports Foundation recorded that “Male athletes receive $133 million, or 36 percent more, than female athletes in college athletic scholarships each year at NCAA member institutions” ( "Title IX Is Necessary to Reduce Sexual Discrimination in Sports"). Over 100 million dollars more is reserved for men’s athletics rather than splitting up that huge amount of money to offer to female athletes. Scholarships are an opportunity to attend college and get an education for little to no cost. This is a life changing chance that should be made more available to female athletes.

She later died of her injuries and became a martyr to the cause. In the aftermath of the Women's Suffrage Movement, women's economic, political and social roles increased in society. As time passed, more opportunities for education sprouted for women, in turn making them realise their professional capacities. Eventually leading them to enter professions that were male dominated such as clergy, corporate, law and medicine, thus evolving the role of women, securing social standing and in eventuality bridging the gap between genders. Even though women’s salaries didn’t match up to that of men, not that it has till date, they were exponentially

Females used the opportunity of World War II, valuing rosie the riveter, to escape the trapping gender role of a stay at home wife. Ever since then, they have taken every single opportunity they could to improve their well being. One major aspect of this was their will to pursue education.
