Women’s Rights
In many countries today women have the same rights as men. They have the right to own property. They have the right to get an education. They have the right to work at any job they choose. They have the right to vote. They have the right to be elected president or prime minister of their country. But it has not always been this way. Women called feminists worked for many years to get these rights.
Through most of history, women have not been treated as equals with men. Women were thought to be naturally weaker and less smart than men. Some myths and religions even present women as a source of evil.
For all these reasons, women were not given the same rights as men. But when women were given some freedom, they made important achievements. For example, some women became powerful leaders. Queen Elizabeth I ruled England for 45 years in the 1500s. Catherine the Great was empress of Russia in the 1700s.
In the late 1700s many people in Europe and North America began to speak of individual freedom. They said that people had rights that governments must respect. But they left out women by using phrases such as “the rights of man.” During this time some free-thinking women spoke up for the women’s rights. One of them was the English feminist Mary Wollstonecraft. She said that women should receive the same opportunities as men in education, work, and politics.
Women knew that if they were going to change society they must win suffrage, or the right to vote. In this way they could take part in government. Then they could influence policies and laws.
Around the World
Women in different countries worked for voting rights. Women gained the vote in New Zealand in 1893, in Australia in 1902, in Finland in 1906, and in Norway in 1913.
In the United Kingdom, Emmeline Pankhurst got women to march in the streets for voting rights. In 1918 British women over age 30 won the vote. In 1928 the age was lowered to 21.
Other countries changed more slowly. Women in Switzerland could not vote until 1971. Even in the early 2000s, women in some Middle Eastern countries still did not have the right to vote.
The United States
In the United States the women’s rights movement grew out of the abolitionist, or antislavery, movement. Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton were abolitionists who also led the first women’s rights convention.
Stanton and Susan B. Anthony formed the National Woman Suffrage Association in 1869. Lucy Stone formed the American Woman Suffrage Association in the same year. The two groups united in 1890. The American movement finally achieved its goals in 1920, when the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was passed. It gave women the right to vote nationwide.
A new women’s rights movement began in the 1960s. This movement was commonly called “feminism” or “women’s liberation.” Feminists in the United States worked to guaranteed all legal rights, not just voting rights, to women.
But the women’s rights movement still made gains. For example, feminists helped make birth control available to more women. Birth control gives women greater control over when they have children. Birth control allowed more women to have careers.
Women who chose careers at first faced much unfairness in the workplace. Congress passed laws to help them. The Equal Pay Act of 1963 said that men and women had to get the same pay for doing the same job. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 included equal rights for women as well as for racial minorities. The act made it illegal to set aside some jobs for men and others for women.
Education also became more available to women. By the end of the 1900s, women were earning more than half of all college degrees in the United States.
Many women were elected to government offices, too. Women have served as president or prime minister in India, Ireland, Israel, New Zealand, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, the United Kingdom, and many other countries.
