Womens Rights :: Womens Rights Movement

Wo manpower had it difficult in the mid-1800s to early 1900s. There was a difference in the treatment of men and women then. Married women had few rights in the eyes of the law. Women were not even allowed to suffrager turnout until August 1920. They were not allowed to enter professions such as medicine or law. There were no chances of women getting an education then because no college or university would accept a female with solely a few exceptions. Women were not allowed to participate in the affairs of the church. They thought they were totally dependent on men.Then the first Womens Rights Convention was held on July nineteenth and twentieth in 1848. The convention was assembled as planned, and over the two days of discussion, the Declaration of Sentiments and cardinal resolutions received agreement and endorsement, one by one, with a few amendments. The only resolution that did not pass unanimously was the call for womens authorization. The thought that women should be allowed to vote in elections was impossible to some. At the convention, debate over the womans vote was the main concern.Womens Rights Conventions were held on a regular basis from 1850 until the start of the civilised War. Some drew such large crowds that people had to be moody away for lack of meeting space. The womens rights movement of the late nineteenth hundred went on to address the wide range of issues spelled out at the Seneca go Convention. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and women like Susan B. Anthony, Lucy Stone, and Sojourner Truth, who were pioneer theorists, traveled the country lecturing and organizing for the next twoscore years. Winning the right to vote was the key issue, since the vote would provide the substance to accomplish the other amendments. The campaign for womans right to vote ran across so much continuous opposition that it took 72 years for the women and their male supporters to win. They in the long run received the right to vote in 1920.There were some real important women involved in the Womens Right Movement. Esther Morris, who was the first woman to refuse a judicial position and who led the first successful offer campaign for womans right to vote in 1869. Abigail Scott Duniway was the leader of the successful shinny in the early 1900s.
