The first women's rights convention took place in Seneca Falls, N.Y., in July 1848. The declaration that emerged was modeled after the Declaration of Independence.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, a temperance and antislavery advocate, formed the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) in New York. Lucy Stone organized the American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA) in Boston. The NWSA agitated for a woman-suffrage amendment to the Federal Constitution, while the AWSA worked for suffrage amendments to each state constitution. Eventually, in 1890, the two groups united as the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA).
As I said women and men should have the same rishts and obligations and this is an example of that, vote is a right that women fought for and they eventually got it, this shows to us how important this is and how things have changed with the years !! we are not equal but in political matters and laws we are !
You're right, women and men should be equal in obligations as in rights, eventhough we're not the same physically.
ResponderEliminarI think that as you said, biologically, men and women are different, but in the society, we must be the same, with the same opportunities, with the same rights, with the same obligations and working as a big team to improve the way in which we live.
ResponderEliminarI think you're right in everything you said, women and men are not equal but should be in law matters.
