Women's Rights in the United States

Even before American independence, women did not have civil rights. According to Janda, this viewpoint is also called protectionism. In other words, women can avoid cruel reality of life. Protectionism in the general population has been observed for decades until the beginning of the women's movement in the 1920s. The woman eventually got the right to vote in the 19 th revision. However, traditional protectionist views always existed in people's mind until the 1970s (Janda et al., 2000: 538-539).

Farudi says that the history of women's rights in the United States is much longer than most people think and can be traced back to the 1970s, which today many people think about feminism. Although opposition to women's rights can be traced back to the colonial era, Farudi confined her examination to the rebound after four recent progress periods: in the mid 1940's, in the early 1940's, in the 20 th century In the early 1940's and early 1970's. She said that at the present time Americans are in strong opposition to the progress made in the 1970s. She also pointed out that each rebound period includes a so-called "male crisis" and its partner "femininity".

A century later, American women and their rights and freedoms made great progress. However, the lives of other countries clearly show that the rights of women and the rights of women in these countries outweigh the United States than I have so far recognized. I live in Sweden, a country where feminism is strong in politics and attitudes, but I am struggling to make further progress. In particular, I think that my view on the advancement of women in America is wrong. Again, in the words of Wharton:

Let's explore important events of American women's rights movement. This schedule covers the period from 1848 to 1920, such as the prestigious women's rights conference to be held in Seneca Falls, New York State, the establishment of the National Female Voting Rights Association, the revision of Article 19 giving women the right to vote doing. The first women's rights conference was held in Seneca Falls, New York. After two days of discussion and discussion, 68 women and 32 men signed "emotional declaration". It outlined discontent and established an agenda for women's rights movement. Adopted 12 resolutions requiring women and men to be treated equally and to give women the right to vote according to the law.
