In this text piece Susan shows courage for a nation. One example of Susan showing courage towards this nation is when the author said, “Although Anthony lost, the trial was a turning point in the struggle for women’s suffrage. Until then, people had ridiculed Anthony as an old maid who wanted to upset the traditional authority of men. But the courage she had shown at her trial won her new respect. Gradually, public opinion swung in her favor.
Bella Abzug loved helping women and fighting for what was right. “At a young age she was offended that women were not treated the same as men” (“Abzug”). Bella knew she had to become a lawyer to help women get the rights women deserve. So that they could vote and own land like a man could. Not to mention, at a young age she knew that
She wants her audience to see how much this means to women in society and how it is a dream for women. She wants them to see it is bigger than many things and not something to ignore. She is effective also in the sense that she is referring to MLK’s speech and thus showing the importance of her words she is stating. She also uses power in her tone to almost attack the values of the members on the International Olympic Committee. She does this by saying that the “IOC’s vote will be a fundamental test of its commitment to women and its own core Olympic values, particularly equality” (Finch).
Are you someone with rights; then let’s see where women’s right movement began. I feel Woman's right to suffrage by Susan B. Anthony was most compelling. It was to persuade the united states that women are people who should have rights. The main ideas are women are people, to make a law it would go against the constitution, and what it means to be a citizen. The emphasis on what the preamble says is the most important main idea.
In “Don’t Give Up The Fight” the theme is being different. The theme is being different because in the text it says ”he had asked about the track team and I had commented that the boys seemed to hate me.” This shows the theme being different because she is trying to ask her dad what she should do because she thinks that the boys don’t like her because she is a
“The Case of Susan B. Anthony” by L.D. Blake is a document detailing a person fighting for women’s right to vote. It’s evident that she feels empowered by what Susan has accomplished. The author states in Par. 10 “Such courage and energy as hers deserve admiration, and what is more support” ,moreover, in the third paragraph, the sentence “The United States Authorities have, however, pursued these women with may almost be styled virulence.”. The importance of these quotes is evident in the way the author wrote them.
Susan B Anthony Dares To Vote and Don’t Give Up The Fight share the same theme of overcoming obstacles but have different evidence to support it. Susan B Anthony Dares to Vote shows how Susan B Anthony overcame obstacles moreover, she could have been arrested, but, she kept fighting. In the passage Don’t Give Up The Fight, she had to overcome obstacles without letting anyone know that she cared about the bullying. Susan B Anthony Dares to Vote shows how one fierce woman fought for the rights she knew she deserved. In the text it says “Gangs of ruffians sometimes broke into her lectures and threw rotten eggs at her.”
She won the Congressional race against the odds of both her race and sex. Her motivation behind her actions were to make a name for herself as fighter for human rights and dignity. Chisholm made history by campaigning nation wide for the Democratic Party nomination for President. In these communities, leaders’ influence and authority come from being part of and sanctioned by their people. Conversely, being perceived as someone who puts oneself above others will destroy one’s credibility (Borda 19).
While both of these stories share a common theme, the scope of the discrimination for Jesse Owens was much larger. Jesse Owens was not just discriminated by ordinary people but by world leaders like Hitler. In the passage “Don’t Give Up The Fight” Ava was bullied and segregated by other boys on her track team just because she was a girl. The theme of the story “Don’t Give Up The Fight” is overcoming obstacles.
League members were motivated by their experiences as mothers, those experiences embolden them to claim a voice (Shulte 4). Women were not only doing the things they did for themselves but also for their children and to better their future. The League of Women Voters fought for women’s new found right and tried to get more
Yet, women were expected to set aside their personal beliefs to insure that America could still make further advancements without its men. However, women still complied because they knew the responsibility laid with them to keep the nation running. Still, much of propaganda had a purpose to motivate women to lend a helping hand in the war. As Susan Mathis said, “The patriotic appeal had two aspects… ‘do your part’... ‘a soldier may die if you don’t do your part’...”

Her chances of winsome foresight making it were unpredictable, it would peddle a long shot, she had given up all hope.

Ready to run the barrels she came to a ploy consensus with her parents that she was just to run for amusement, she came out and had a decent run, but still was not firm enough it to
In college, Mia Hamm learned how to possess mental and physical toughness from her coach, Anson Dorrance. Hamm briefly explains that young girls should be pushed to be the best athletes they can be. An inspirational quote I find interesting is when Hamm states, “Before you win, you must have the will to prepare the win.” I find this quote highly moving because it is very realistic, if you want to win you must mentally and physically prepare yourself for the game and have confidence.
Susan Brownell Anthony, a woman of abstinence, abolition, and African-American rights. A brave soul who took pride in trying to fight not only for her rights, but all of the fellow ladies and underprivileged people who did not really have a say. She was a kind woman who simply fought for what she believed in and those happened to be some of the most common human rights that we now have because of people like her. Rights to be payed the same. Rights to vote the same.
We have learned to fight and stick up for what you believe in. Don’t let other people push and bully you to believe in something you don’t believe in. After the fight for Civil rights was awarded it gave women the courage to fight for equal rights. They fought long and hard just like the African Americans did. During this time period it gave us great leaders like Martin Luther king,
