How Were Women Treated In The 1600's

Roles of men and women in my cultural group were very much set back in the earlier 1900’s. Men were the head of the household, they went to work, made the money, and supported the house. The women took care of all the household duties including, cleaning, cooking, and taking care of the children. Women did not go out and work if they were married. Before they married they could work to help provide income for the household, but once they found a husband they could not longer have a job. Also, college was only an option for men because women were supposed to marry and have kids, not go to college. It was thought of as a waste for women to go to college because they did not need an education to become a housewife. It was very much frowned upon

Harriet Tubman was 1/11 children and born around 1820. She served in the army through many different ways. She served by being a nurse,cook,scout, and a spy. The form of discrimination is that the black people were forced to work out in farms. Blacks were also not treated fairly in the south. How this affected them? It affected them that their life was always miserable a lot of people lost faith and they were always afraid. Also problems they can get seriously. This happened to Harriet Tubman. There was a slave that was getting hurt and she tried to protect him. In doing so she got hit with a rock and then she can get caesaris. They fought against slavery by using an underground railroad. The underground railroad works by there are conductors

In the seventeenth century Chesapeake women had different roles than other colonial women. Chesapeake women were expected to work in the house, raise their kids and work with their husbands in the “tedious care of tobacco plants.” (page 13) Unlike in the English society, they lacked a sense of “housewifery” due to the fact that they had the lack of spinning wheels and churns. (page 13) Since mortality rate was so high it was excepted of not just men but especially women to marry multiply time. Since women were expected to marry at such a young age so they could have more kids, they would end up marrying multiple people as their husbands passed away. (page 6) Ironically though, Chesapeake women had the most power when their husbands died, due

Imagine one day you wake up and many of your constitutional rights, such as the right to vote, are gone. In Harper Lee’s novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, Sexism plays a huge role in many scenarios throughout the story. For example, a quote in the novel states, “ ‘Scout, i’m tellin’ you for the last time to shut your trap or go home- I declare to the lord you’re gettin more like a girl every day.’ With that, I had no option but to join them.”(Lee Pg.69). This quote represents the fear that scout shows while trying to hide her femininity. It shows that scout believes that women have a minuscule amount of power, and that she needs to act like a boy for her to even be recognized by Jem as a member of the group. Gender equality is not fully intact, as shown explicitly throughout the novel.

For decade women have been discriminated by society, all around the world. In many countries women are still treated as the inferior sex. “daily life for women in the early 1800s in Europe(Britain), was that of many obligations and few choices. Some even compare the conditions of women in time as a form of slavery.” (Smith, Kelley. "Lives of Women in the Early 1800s." Lives of Women in the Early 1800s. N.p., 2002.) Women have always been expected to find a husband, get marry and have children and nothing less was expected of them. Women during decades ago and even today in 2017, many women live by the norm that if you don’t get marry you’re a dishonor/disgrace to the family. Many men treated women as objects and without a doubt not as equals.

“Concerns about family, marriage, children, and over one’s life and destiny on issues dealing with birth control and abortion are but one set of concerns. Educational opportunities, occupational choices, even the right to work outside of the home are yet another set of concerns” (Lunardini xii). They had a lot of other problems to be solved as well. Most were just involved in trying to become accepted in the sports world, but many had other situations outside sports. These problems kept arising turning into bigger problems. “Women couldn’t attend college to most states. The wages they earned working outside the home went to their husbands or fathers, not to them. And they were helpless to change the laws because they weren’t allowed to vote” (Blumenthal 10). Women were helpless and it was simply the men’s show.

The Alberta Five made a huge impact in the twenties, in which would affect women throughout history. Women in the twenties were not a “qualified person”, but that all changed when five important women came to fight for us. Before the women had gotten the vote, it was a difficult time. All though getting the vote was a struggle to get approved, the women had finally accomplished what they fought so long for. After we had gotten the vote, a woman’s life would be change throughout history.

¨Ain I got a right to talk to nobody…?¨ This is a line directly said from Curly’s wife in Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. Steinbeck introduced Curly’s wife as a tart, eyeing men up and down, while married, and always finding herself in the men’s cabin area. He also introduces her as a lonely average wife during the 1900s, having nothing to look forward too. Steinbeck gives information about what women felt like during these tough times, especially how lonely they were, and how they couldn’t follow their own dreams.

Throughout history women have struggled to gain their rights. Ever since Adam and Eve, Eve was always the one making mistakes. American history regarding women is a shameful one, for women have been suppressed since the beginning.

Women played an inferior role compared to men in society in the 1600s and 1700s. Yes, women have been considered the weaker gender for generations way before then. One of the characteristics we have seen that Europeans classified Native Americans as savages was their “barbaric idea” of gender equality. In those times colonial women had few career choices if any. Men were greater than women during that time and that is why it was rare to find an unmarried woman. In fact, colonial women married earlier that their English counterparts and had larger families. The main job of the woman was to bare children, and that is why much of the typical woman’s adulthood was spent either as pregnant or nursing. That is why a strong network support and assistance

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, the stereotypical roles of women were to tend to the house and to their children. They had little to no freedoms, and their husbands controlled practically every aspect of their lives. These stereotypes created a patriarchal society where men were superior to women. This was the social standard of the time period, but this would not be the case for long. Countless women felt that this system was unfair to all concerned, and that change was needed. Many modernist writers aimed at breaking free from the societal standards of the time, destroying the patriarchal society altogether. There were countless struggles involved in overcoming the dominant male forces. Despite this,

“We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal...”

American Women during World War 2 had many responsibilities at war, work, and home. But they did not have many equal rights compared to the rest of the society. The women’s rights and responsibilities topic is very interesting. One is understanding and knowing the history about the responsibilities women had to do and how hard working they were. This topic is very important because there was a big change in women’s rights and responsibilities during World War 2. Women’s responsibilities increased especially at work and war. Women, even today are discriminated because of their gender, so there is still no equality between both genders which should stop.

The first ever woman's rights convention was held I Seneca Falls in July of 1848. Elizabeth Cady Stanton made her first public statement for women's suffrage. Her call to her to action was codified in the groundbreaking piece of literature known as the declaration of sentiments. This moment in history marks the beginning of the woman's right's movement. The beginnings of the Seneca Falls Convention drawback to the anti-slavery movement, or more specifically the World's Anti-slavery Convention of 1840. The British abolitionist had denied female representation at the convention. Stanton and Mott, who were in attendance of this convention, decided to organize a protest convention back in the states. It would take several years for Stanton and

Throughout history Human rights has always been a topic of discussion and women were always given the short straw and the Renaissance was no different. Even though women had it so rough back then, through a mixture of accommodation and toleration some of them were able to push through. They
