“What if I am a woman? . . . Females [should] strive by their example, both in public and in private, to assist those who are endeavoring to stop the strong current of prejudice that flows so profusely against us at present.” Marie Stewart, an African-American abolitionist speaker, said these words, speaking for most women during the early 19th century. The demand for women’s suffrage appeared during this time due to other reform movements. The abolitionist stand against slavery, and the civil rights movement, had the biggest impact on women and they began to see their need for and desire equal rights. For over 50 years, women tried to earn their place in society and receive the same rights and opportunities as men.
Most women were not allowed to vote or exercise the same civil rights as men during this time, based on the idea that "a married woman's legal existence was incorporated into that of her husband”. Puritans also held the character of women in little interest (Gale). At the time, they believed that intelligence and understanding had been given by God to men only. After women married, a lot was expected from them. They were expected to have many children. They also had to take care of the house and they were expected to be obedient to their husband’s commands. Very few women worked outside the home during the early decades of American history. Those who did, even as nurses or teachers, were looked down on. Their employment was a result of the industrial conditions that created a need for lower-paid factory workers, including women, children, and immigrants. Marriage at that time was more about marrying into a wealthy family and not about love. Women began to see how poorly they were being treated and realized that it was time to take a stand on these issues. The call for more legal rights and social freedoms for women grew initially out of the Abolitionist Movement prior to the Civil War. Female abolitionists found that their work on behalf of freeing the slaves was hindered by the absence of women’s own freedom. For many years, the two causes were closely tied.
Over the many years of protest, a large number of women became involved in the struggle for women's rights. Susan B. Anthony played a major role in the 19th century women’s rights movement to introduce women’s suffrage in the U.S. She is also the co-founder of the first Women’s Temperance Movement and helped the administration of President Abraham Lincoln by starting the Women's Loyal League. Elizabeth Cady Stanton was an American social activist, abolitionist and leading figure during that time. She created the Declaration of Sediment proposed at the Seneca Falls Convention in New York in 1848. Lucretia Mott was a very direct leader of the antislavery and women’s rights movements in America. Her book, Discourse on Women, published in 1850, discussed the educational, economic and political restrictions on women in Western Europe and America. In 1869, Anthony and Stanton formed a new organization, the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA). The organization disapproved the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments as obvious injustices to women. The NWSA also supported easier divorce and an end to discrimination in employment and pay. Anthony toured the country making speeches on women's rights. In one year, she travelled 13,000 miles and made over 170 speeches. In 1872, Anthony attempted to vote in an election in Rochester and was arrested, charged and found guilty of violating voting rights (Gale).
In 1848, the first women’s rights convention was held in Seneca Falls, New York. After two days of discussion and debate 68 women and 32 men signed a Declaration of Sentiments which described and set agendas for the women’s rights movement. A set of 12 resolutions was suggested, calling for equal treatment of women and men under the law and voting rights for women (ABC-CLIO). By 1896, women in Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming, and Utah
Assessment- Parable of the sheep and goats In this assessment I will be talking about a parable called ‘The sheep and the goats’. A parable is a short simple story in the bible that Jesus told to teach us spiritual lessons or to illustrate morals to make us all better people. I think that the key events of this parable are when Jesus separated the people into two different groups, the sheep on his right and the goats on his left, I think he did this because he wanted to show that there are…

Long Report about Sheep Industry The sheep facility we visited was started in 1880. It is a commercial sheep farm, which only has no purebred sheep. There are about 1300 ewes and 37 rams. Most of the sheep are crossbred with Rambouillet and Dorset genetic. All of them are white face sheep. The crossbred they have is to improve meat quality. Also, the way to choose ram is according to EPD value. Comparing the data we collect from the producer to the America Sheep Industry Association Survey…

The pig gets fat, you kill it and make money. I grow my company like raising a son. The average life of a restaurant is less than three years in China.

Lambs are like dogs. They are loyal and stupid. I guess lambs are like people too. The difference? We eat lambs and so does every other country in the world (Bagniewski). Lamb is a meat but also an animal that gives us many byproducts including wool. Sheep are fed, raised, and slaughtered then end up on our table. Lamb may not taste better depending if it’s on a factory feedlot or on a small hobby farm but I would like to think it is more humane and happier. When I was in Kindergarten my family received…
to sleep there. A giant sycamore tree grows in the spot where a sacristy once stood. While Santiago sleeps, he has a disturbing dream (we do not learn exactly what the dream was). When he wakes, his flock begins to stir, and Santiago talks to the sheep about a girl he met the year prior. She is the daughter of a merchant who Santiago is visiting to sell some wool. When Santiago arrives, the merchant asks him to wait until afternoon to sell him wool. While Santiago reads, he meets the merchant’s…

The birds of prey and the sheep are two contrasting groups, the birds are predators, and sheep are peaceful dwelling creatures. The sheep very much so dislike the birds of prey because they carry off little lambs and make wonderful meals out of them, and there is nothing that the sheep can do to stop this, as they are the inferior prey. Due to this logic, there is a reasonable conclusion on why the sheep have resentment for the birds and consider them evil. The sheep have no way to hold the birds…
are important to the Navajos and one of these things includes their livestock. The main livestock for a Navajo family is sheep. Raising sheep have been a way of life since the 1600s and they contribute much of their time and effort in caring for their sheep because how many sheep they have and how well they care for them symbolize a family’s well-being. By vaccinating their sheep, they keep their stock in good shape. Another important thing to the Navajos is their land. The Navajos believe the earth…
