WOMEN’S RIGHTS MOVEMENT Historical Background of the Women’s Rights Movement in the United States

Why were women fighting for their rights? What was life like for women in the 1800’s? What rights did they have? How were they treated differently than men? What were the expectations of women?

Women were treated like second-class citizens

Women were looked down upon Socially Economically Politically

Socially Women were viewed as less superior to white males. Therefore, they were denied many rights.

Marriage After women got married… They did not have the right to own property. They could not keep their wages($). They could not sign a contract.

Stay Home! People believed that a woman’s role was to: Cook Clean Take care of the family

Education Women were not encouraged to get formal education There was very little educational opportunity for women

Economically Women were NOT encouraged to pursue a professional career. Women were discriminated against and given very few options for jobs Their salaries were very low.

Politically Women could not vote Women could not hold a public office.

Debate Questions Do you believe men are superior to women? Do you believe it is the woman’s role to cook, clean and take care of the family? Should women have the same opportunities for education as men? Should women have the same opportunities for employment (jobs)? Should women and men be paid equally? Should a woman hold a public office?
