Rebecca Solnit's Argument Analysis

The first European known to have landed in Wisconsin was Jean Nicolet. In 1634, Samuel de Champlain, governor of New France, sent Nicolet to contact the Ho-Chunk people, make peace between them and the Huron and expand the fur trade, and possibly to also find a water route to Asia. Accompanied by seven Huron guides, Nicolet left New France and canoed through Lake Huron and Lake Superior, and then became the first European known to have entered Lake Michigan. Nicolet proceeded into Green Bay, which he named La Baie des Puants (literally "The Stinking Bay"), and probably came ashore near the Red Banks. He made contact with the Ho-Chunk and Menomenee living in the area and established peaceful relations. Nicolet remained with the Ho-Chunk the

The origin of the women’s rights movement traces back many years to the Seneca Falls Convention. The proposal for Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s “Declaration of Sentiments” occurred at this convention in New York in July 1848. Stanton, along with Lucretia Mott, entertained the idea of such an event during the World Anti-Slavery Convention in London in 1840. These two women were told that they could not partake in the convention based solely on gender. After African Americans had finally been granted their right to vote, women felt it was unfair that they still could not participate during elections.

Women’s rights activists in the late 19th century objected an amendment proposing a “man’s government” in America. The amendment faced strong opposition because suffragists believed there was already excessive executive power given to men. So, these women demanded equal representation and access to the same civil liberties as men had by exposing the gender inequality they met through a series of persuasive tactics demonstrated in the article: “Manhood Suffrage.”

Many women’s rights activists advocated equal rights in state legislatures, which led to conventions and women’s social organizations. They reasoned that women had the same opportunities to political, religious, social, and economic rights that men had and argued they were no different from men. In Document A, Judith Sargent Murray says, ...our souls are by nature equal to yours; the same breath of God animates, enlivens, and invigorates us; and that we are not fallen lower than yourselves…” In 1848, New York passed the married Women's Property Act, which allowed married women the right to own property which they had inherited. To get a true sense of women’s attempts for equity they began to join the workforce, and get a higher education to get a new view of themselves.

To this day the women’s suffrage movement ignites women in the present to keep those right burning. Alice Paul and her fellow women suffrages demonstrated through speeches, lobbying and petitioning Congressional Committees, with parades, picketing and demonstrations, and with arrest that lead to imprisonment. These women express courage that women still uphold for years after their legacy has passed on, such as the article “Women’s Strike for Equality,” by Linda Napikoski, in the demonstration that was held on August 26, 1970 on the 50th anniversary of women’s suffrage. As well as an article “Women to Protest For Equality Today,” by United Press that talks about on the eve of the 50th anniversary of the women’s suffrage and “declared war on firms that Damage the Image,” of the fair sex. Alice Paul, set the stage for inspiring women to fight for their rights everywhere across the world.

In this article, Sarah Cotterill writes about how cancer has changed the way she sees and processes the world she lives in today. During this hard time of her life she has experienced both highs and lows throughout. Cotterill is only 29 years of age but feels she has the knowledge to speak in this topic since she has experienced it first hand.

Women’s Rights was and still is a major issue throughout the entire world, but more specifically, in the United States of America. Women have been treated unjustly for awhile. From being beaten by their husbands, to not being able to own property if they were married, women have been through it all. Many of these situations started to change because of a group of women that decided to stand up for what they believe in. A few activists that helped improve the rights of women are Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Lucretia Mott.

Over the history of time women were not allowed to have prominent roles and rights in society. Through history and time women have fought for the right to vote, to work for equal pay, the women’s suffrage, gaining property rights, and much more. The first women’s right movement in the United States of America, which started in the 1830s, arose from the campaign too end slavery. Many things such as evangelical Christianity, the abolitionist critique to slavery, and debates about the place of women in the abolitionist movement played valuable roles in the development of the antebellum women’s right movement. These efforts and large steps that women took to destroy and tear down the walls that limited them from having a voice still resonates today.

Activism for Women’s Rights in the United States dates back to the 1700s, a period that saw increased activities by women groups who sought to gain constitutional equality in America. From the early years, the issue of inequality of women and men as perceived from the light of the American constitution bothered the women fraternity.

Laws were put into our society to protect each individual and the people is our society, and it allows everyone to live in a nice calm society. In the article Frank Trippett claims that ordinary Americans are becoming lawbreaker and they would never think of themselves as lawbreakers. He support his argument by listing were Americans intend to break the laws that was once established. The author creates a critical tone for Americans who are breaking the laws in the United States. Tippett's argument should be valid because most Americans are speeding in the freeway, littering trash in public, and some are polluting our society. And they still don't feel any guilt in any shape or form.

From homemaker to suffragette, the role of women has significantly evolved in society. Females have revolutionized societal standards, thus forming the modern woman. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, and Emmeline Pankhurst were important in the expansion of female privileges during the Women's Rights Movement in the United States and Great Britain. They worked to give all females greater opportunities and equal treatment. Throughout history, women’s rights and roles have evolved in education, working standards, and suffrage.

The Women's Rights Movement was a significant crusade for women that began in the late nineteenth century and flourished throughout Europe and the United States for the rest of the twentieth century. Advocates for women's rights initiated this movement as they yearned for equality and equal participation and representation in society. Throughout all of history, the jobs of women ranged from housewives to factory workers, yet oppression by society, particularly men, accompanied them in their everyday lives. Not until the end of the nineteenth century did women begin to voice their frustrations about the inequalities among men and women, and these new proclamations would be the basis for a society with opportunities starting to open for

The women’s movement began in the nineteenth century when groups of women began to speak out against the feeling of separation, inequality, and limits that seemed to be placed on women because of their sex (Debois 18). By combining two aspects of the past, ante-bellum reform politics and the anti-slavery movement, women were able to gain knowledge of leadership on how to deal with the Women’s Right Movement and with this knowledge led the way to transform women’s social standing (Dubois 23). Similarly, the movement that made the largest impact on American societies of the 1960’s and 1970’s was the Civil Right Movement, which in turn affected the women’s movement (Freeman 513).
