"Men - their rights and nothing more; Women - their rights and nothing less. " -Susan B. Anthony

    Its kind off a feminist topic to discuss but its very important for other people to understand how women at the 1800's started to feel when they were not taken as granted and making them think their opinions never counted. Women joined together and created their group to fight for their rights and to gain respect. Women were discriminated and are still today. American Feminist could not vote, have jobs and were considered  less intelligent than men. Is that a way for a women to be treated? 

    The first women rights convention was held in Seneca Falls, New York in 1848. there were 68 women and 32 men that signed the declaration of sentiments. This declaration sets the agenda for the women right's movement; Men voted for women rights. National Women's Rights convention took place in Worcester, Massachusetts; there were about 1,000 participating. American feminist went state-by-state creating campaigns to obtain voting right for them. Colorado was the first state to adopt the amendment of granting women to vote. After colorado the following were Utah and Idaho at 1896, Washington state at 1910, Califronia at 1911, Oregon, Kansas, and Arkansas in 1912, Alaska and Illinois in 1913, Montana and Nevada in 1914, New York in 1917, Michigan, South Dakota, and Oklahoma in 1918. American feminist in 1870, 60 percent of working women were in domestic services. By 1920 women made up 13 percent of the professional ranks. Women started to go out for more than just jobs. In 1892, membership in women’s clubs was about 100,000. By 1917, it was more than one million; and women’s increasing independence was reflected in the fact that the divorce rate increased from 1 in every 21 marriages in 1880 to 1 in 9 by 1916.

 In 1920 American feminist had the opportunity to vote in every state.

    Women realized they were not treated equally. They were discriminated by every men and they didn't received respect. Women's opinions about something were nothing, they were not counted as anything. American feminist resulted to be more stronger than any other man. They fought for their rights and that's something that not everyone would be able to do. American feminist could not vote nor have jobs Discrimination is still today but what matter most is that women had force them selves to be known and not be treated as nothing and being proud of what they had done.
