DeleteAmerican women’s history between the 20's to the 80's
ReplyDeleteWomen were considered less than men in all the aspects so that´s why women fought for their rights of equality.
Women were limited to staying at home, caring to their children, taking care of their home and be a good wife.
They could not work, they were treated like slaves of the man kept them economically.
In 20s, the feminine mentality began to change in the early 1920s. The women of that time begin to transform, the ultra feminine and submissive housewife adopts a more masculine style, uses simpler clothes to work; some of them cut their hair, smoke, wear pants, play sports, drive cars, travel independently.
In 30s and 40s, the 1940s were different, women's lives were expanding, men were at war and someone had to rise and take the place of men. During the Second World War, about 350,000 women served in the United States Armed Forces (WAC), both at home and abroad. Throughout the 1940s the number of women in the workforce increased by 25-35% .
In 50s, the women were again controlled, after the war women returned to work while caring for their family. The society of the 50s was created for the failure of women.
In 60s, began the movement and the liberation of the woman. In this century the territorial legislature of Wyoming stated that "every woman of the age of twenty-one, residing in this territory, can in each election cast its vote.”
In 70s,
At this time noted the journalist Gloria Steinem and many other women discovered the magazine Ms. Anti-feminist groups were formed, led by women, the most prominent of which was political activist Phyllis Schlafly.
These groups defended gender roles and opposed the proposed constitutional amendment in favor of "equal rights".
In the following years, 35 of the 38 necessary states ratified it and the courts also proceeded to expand the rights of women. In the Roe v. Wade Act of 1973, the Supreme Court recognized the right of women to abortion in the first three months of pregnancy; This was interpreted as an important victory for the feminist movement.
In 80s, at the 1984 Summer Games in Los Angeles, Joan Benoit finished the first female marathon. He finished 400 meters ahead of the silver medalist, Norway's Grete Waitz.
In your opinion, what's the most amazing fact or event of these decades?
DeleteThroughout history, women's rights have been increasing.
ReplyDeleteThe woman, formerly considered a housewife, had the obligation to care for her husband and only served to "make babies", have become as important as men and have the same rights and obligations.
Here are some of the achievements that some women have made:
1920: women are granted the right to vote.
1921: Margaret Sanger founded the American Convention of the League on Birth Control, which would eventually become the American Federation of Family Planning.
1931: Jane Addams becomes the first woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
1933: Frances Perkins becomes the first female member of the presidential cabinet.
1940: The life of women began to expand because men were at war and someone had to get up and take the place of men.
1942: The war was so great that the Army Corps of Women and Women Accepted for Voluntary Emergency Services was established to assist men in the war.
1968: Shirley Chisholm becomes the first African American woman to be elected to Congress.
1971: Sandra Day O'Connor becomes the first woman in the Supreme Court of the United States.
1983: Sally Ride is the first American woman in space.

DeleteThe women in the past
ReplyDeleteIn 1848, some 240 men and women gathered in upstate New York for a meeting convened. In 1869, the Wyoming´s territorial leguislature declared that every woman of the age of twenty-one years, residing in this territory.

In 1984, Joan Benoit wins the first women’s Olympic Marathon in Los Ángeles. In 1992, Manon Rheaume is the first woman to play in an NHL game in Quebec City.
In the past, the woman haven't got the same rights than men. They were considered to be low, objects that only were serving to take care of the house and to the children, in my opinion, slaves. But it did not prevent that many woman demostrating that they could be so good as the men. Here I present some events of some that demostrated it.

Sandra Day O'Connor was the first woman on the Supreme Court in 1981

In 1984 Joan Benoit won the first womens Olympic Marathon
My favourite event is when Amelia Earhart cross the Atlantic in airplane. She had a lot of courage for did that and I admire her for that.
Thank you for such a good answer Noa!
DeleteIn the past while the man went to work the woman stayed cleaning in the house and taking care of the children. The woman didn´t had right to decide anything and were owned by their father and then their husband. In 1848, a group of men and women gathered to discuss the social status and rights of women. From there everithing change. In 1869 in Wyoming the women were able to vote, although the congress didn´t accept it. In 1898 Julia Morgan was the first woman admitted to the Ecole de Beaux-Arts in Paris. In 1916 Margaret Sanger opened the first birth-control clinic in the United States. In 1921 Edith Wharton was the first woman to win a Pulitzer. In 1923 Alice Paul proposed for the first time the Equal Rights Amendment.

ReplyDeleteBefore woman's didn't have the same rights as mens and they weren't considered persons . But in the year 1848 all change. In july 1848 men and woman gathered in upstate New York for a meeting to discuss "the social,civil and religious condition and rights of woman". Many woman and men signed a declaration of independence for the woman, and from there the woman had all the rights and they were free for everything they wanted.
These are some examples of what women have achieved:
* In the year 1898 Julia Morgan is first woman admitted to the Ecole de Beaux-Arts in Paris, 1898.
*In 1921 Edith Wharton is the first woman to win a Pulitzer Prize.
* In 1928 Amelia Earhart is the first woman to cross the Atlantic in an airplane.
*In 1933 Frances Perkins becomes the first female member of a Presidential cabinet.
*In 1943 the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League becomes the first professional baseball league for female players.
*In 1950 Eleanor Rooselvet chairs president John Kennedy in the commission on the status of women.
* In 1960 The FDA announces its approval of “The Pill,” the first birth-control drug.
*In 1977 Janet Guthrie is the first woman to drive in the Indy.
*In 1981 President Ronald Reagan nominates Sandra Day O’Connor to be the first woman on the Supreme Court.
* In 1984 Joan Benoit wins the first women’s Olympic Marathon.
In my opinion the most amazing fact was that they were granted the vote, because that was very difficult to achieve since the woman was considered as a lapdog and could not comment, but that can not be, women are the same as any other man .
The 18 of August of 1920 was proposed in the treaty of the constitution of the United States "the right of the citizens to vote regardless of their sex".
ReplyDeleteIn 1942 The Women's Army Corps (WAC) and Women Accepted for Voluntary Emergency Services (WAVES) were established. From this decade women began to work in factories and became an important part of the entertainment industry. In 1943 the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League was founded.
During World War II, some 350,000 women served in the U.S. Armed Forces, both at home and abroad. On March 10, 2010, nearly 70 years after they were disbanded, the Women Airforce Service Pilots received the Congressional Gold Medal.
Born Bella Savitzky on July 24, 1920, in New York, bold and outspoken, Bella Abzug was a leading liberal activist and politician in the 1960s and 1970s, especially known for her work for women's rights. She knew from experience the challenges faced by women professionally and politically.
Other important women in the struggle for women's rights were:
Californian Julia Morgan was first woman admitted to the Ecole de Beaux-Arts in Paris, 1898
Margaret Sanger opened first birth-control clinic in the United States, 1916
Amelia Earhart was the first woman to cross the Atlantic in an airplane, 1928
All of them were women who achieved great achievements in the history of the struggle for the rights of women.

DeleteDuring the 1940s, the roles and expectations of women in society were rapidly changing. Previously women had very little to say in society and were stereotyped to stay at home, to make babies, to be a good housewife and wife. The 1940s were different, women's lives were expanding, men were at war and someone had to get up and take the place of men. Not only did the men go to war, the war was so great that in 1942 the Women's Womens Corps (WAC) and Women Accepted by Voluntary Emergency Services (WAVES) were established. After these organizations were authorized women of the Congress to serve in the Navy of the United States. Returning to the roles of the state side, women worked in the factory, used intensive jobs and became the center of society in the entertainment industry. 1943 The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League was founded. In 1945 Eleanor Roosevelt became a United States delegate to the newly created United Nations. Throughout the 1940s the number of women in the labor force increased by 25.
ReplyDeleteThe history of American women has been full of pioneers: women who fought for their rights, worked hard to be treated equally and made great strides in fields such as science, politics, sports, literature and art. These are just some of the notable achievements that historians do not mention to people across the United States.
An outstanding liberal and political activist, Bella Abzug (1920-1998) was especially known for her work on women's rights. After graduating from the Columbia University School of Law, he became involved in anti-nuclear and peace movements. In the 1960s, she helped to organize the women's strike for peace and the National Women's Political Caucus. Seeking greater impact, she won a seat in the US House of Representatives, where she championed women's rights and Vietnam's withdrawal. After leaving office in 1977, Abzug continued to work on many causes, including establishment.
During the Second World War, about 350,000 women served in the United States Armed Forces, both at home and abroad. It includes the women's air force pilots, who on March 10, 2010, were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal. Meanwhile, the generalized male man left in the industrial workforce. Between 1940 and 1945, the female percentage of American labor

ReplyDelete1869
ReplyDeleteOn December 10, 1869, John Campbell, Governor of the Wyoming Territory, approved the first law in U.S. history explicitly granting women the right to vote.
John Allen Campbell (October 8, 1835 – July 14, 1880) was a politician and officer in the U.S. Army.
Commemorated in later years as Wyoming Day, the event was one of many firsts for women achieved in the Equality State.
On November 5, 1889, Wyoming voters approved the first constitution in the world granting full voting rights to women. Wyoming voters again made history in 1924 when they elected Nellie Taylor Ross as the first woman governor in the United States.
1921
On December 12 in the state of Massachusetts (E.E.U.U.), the American astronomer Henrietta Swan Leavitt dies of cancer. In the variable stars of Magellan's Clouds, she found a boss who had slipped by discovering a type of star known like cefeidas variables and the relation between the period and his luminosity. This proportional relation will be in use for measuring the distances of distant stars. In her observations also she discovered 2.400 new variable stars and four supernovas. In spite of having done important discoveries in the world of the astronomy, on which the modern conception of the Universe will be constructed, Henrietta is almost unknown.
1932
After developing her career as aviatrix in The United States and beating several records of speed, Amelia Earhart undertook a solitary flight across the Atlantic Ocean in 1932 with the one that not only turned into the first pilot woman in realizing it, but it beat the speed record. Earhart continued flying and beating brands (in 1934 she crossed the Pacific Ocean from Honolulu to California), until an accident in the middle of the Pacific Ocean prevented her from continuing with her dream of crossing the world in plane.
1950
Jim Crow was the name of the racial caste system which operated primarily, but not exclusively in southern and border states, between 1877 and the mid-1960s. Jim Crow was more than a series of rigid anti-black laws. It was a way of life. Under Jim Crow, African Americans were relegated to the status of second class citizens. Jim Crow represented the legitimization of anti-black racism.
1984
Joan Benoit Samuelson (May 16, 1957) is an American athlete specialist in careers of long distance. She was the first Olympian champion of the feminine marathon, in the Olympic Games of Los Angeles 1984.
And,in my opinion I don´t know why the womans were underestimated,unknown...etc with everything what they did,but,the people were a little machist and they only saw what the men were doing.
DeleteAnd I think that we are men or women, of a race or of other,we're all the same and we should have the same rights.
Paula, I really like your choice. I didn´t know anything about Henrietta Swan Leavitt!! Great achievement!
