Women's Suffrage Movement

What women have had to go through to get to where we are today is astounding. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and several other women realized that women deserved rights just as much as men did. These women assembled and wrote the Declaration of Sentiments, a document that used lines from the Declaration of Independence.Those few women sparked a huge debate, yet it took so many years for women to be considered equal.
The picture with the blue and red pillars is a diagram of the difference between women and men in certain fields of work. The blue is women and red is men. Women dominate the librarian, nurse, and teacher roles yet lack in the roles of doctors and firefighters. It was astounding to see the stark differences.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton and others worked hard for women to have the rights we do today. We, as ladies should be happy to be mans equal, not their inferior.
