Answer 2

Rights to vote is just one way of showing mens that they are not the only one doing everything..This is 21 st century mens and womens are not different at all but there are certain things that only mens can do and certains things that only womens can do so I think that all men and women are equal

Answer 3

Women were considered to be the property of their father, and then their husband. That's why they didn't have the right to vote. Women couldn't own their own land for a long time either.

Ultimately, with the women's movement and the support of men, MEN voted to give women the right to vote and to own property.

Answer 4

Women didn't have the right to vote because it was male ordered society... only the men were allowed to make decisions...

Answer 5

I'm not sure what your question is.

n the United States the campaign to secure voting rights was closely tied to the movement to end slavery. American reformers Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton were leaders in both struggles. In July 1848 they invited women reformers to gather in Seneca Falls, New York (see Seneca Falls Convention, Seneca Falls Declaration of Sentiments). The convention issued a statement calling for voting rights for women as well as recognition of a woman's right to pursue a career and attend college.

Two years later the first national Women's Rights Convention was held in Worcester, Massachusetts. There Lucy Stone delivered a stirring speech about women's right to vote. Another convention held in Syracuse, New York, was organized by activist Susan B. Anthony. In addition, reformers staged marches and other public events to raise awareness of voting rights.

When the American Civil War ended in 1865, women who had worked hard to end slavery hoped that government would extend the full rights of citizenship to freed blacks as well as to all women. But the 14th and 15th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, adopted in 1868 and 1870, granted citizenship and voting rights only to black men. Women reformers had to continue their fight.

Women's struggle to secure voting rights was won little by little. The territories of Wyoming and Utah granted women the right to vote in territorial elections. The Western states of Colorado and Idaho followed the example, but Eastern states resisted. Beginning in 1878 amendments to the U.S. Constitution were proposed in every session of Congress, but each time the voting rights measure failed to pass.

When the United States entered World War I in 1917, many women reformers pledged their support. Volunteering in hospitals and government offices, they hoped to be recognized for their patriotism and win the right to vote. In June 1919 Congress passed the women's voting rights bill. It became the 19th Amendment to the Constitution in August of 1920, after the required number of state legislatures ratified, or approved, it.

But in the US we're STILL not equal. The government allows and supports certain organizations that ensure that people are not treat equal. We're reliving the past but the table has turned.

Answer 6

Huh?... it took a constitutional AMENDMENT to give women the right to vote... and it was MEN who had to VOTE FOR IT.

The REASON women didn't have the right to vote is, they had a substandard education and did not know how to write sentences or spell...

Hummm.... I have to think about this.!

Answer 7

That's not the only reason. Back then woman didn't own anything, especially land and most men thought you should own land to vote.

Answer 8

Okay, that's interesting but what is your question re: Singles & Dating?

And it was (in the "old times") not that women didn't HAVE respect, it was that we weren't GIVEN respect.

Answer 9

What came first.....the general lack of self-respect or the crippling lack of women's rights?

Answer 10

Goodness girl...Take an English class..

Answer 11

So??????? Women have been acknowledged as having some cerebral energy. What's this about respect, and actually, who cares?
