American colonies based their laws on the English common law, which was summarized in the Blackstone Commentaries. It said, By marriage, the husband and wife are one person in the law? The very being and legal existence of the woman is suspended during the marriage, or at least is incorporated into that of her husband under whose wing and protection she performs everything. All states pass laws which take away womens right to vote. United States Constitution ratified. The terms persons, people and electors are used, allowing the interpretation of those beings to include men and women. The first state (Mississippi) grants women the right to hold property in their own name, with their husbands permission. At Seneca Falls, New York, 300 women and men sign the Declaration of Sentiments, a plea for the end of discrimination against women in all spheres of society. In Missouri v. Celia, a Slave, a Black woman is declared to be property without a right to defend herself against a master's act of rape

Extractions: Post WWII The Campaign for Women's Suffrage 1903 - 28 In 1903, the campaign for women's suffrage was intensified by the founding of the Women's Social and Political Union. The WSPU - associated particularly with Mrs Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters, Christabel and Sylvia - was far more militant than the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies, led by Milicent Garrett Fawcett. WSPU members, known as 'suffragettes', became increasingly violent in the years before the World War One, as successive governments failed to reform the voting laws. The harsh manner in which imprisoned suffragettes were treated, including forcible feeding of women on hunger strike, contributed to the growing public sympathy for the cause of women's suffrage (in tandem with imaginative - and legal - campaigning of the moderate NUWSS). The outbreak of war in 1914 led to a political truce in the suffrage movement but the participation of British women in the war effort, working in factories and the armed services as well as in the home, was a major factor in the Government's decision to give women over the age of thirty the right to vote in 1918. This right was extended to women over 21 in 1928.

The first suffrage movement (the right to vote) in Toronto was established by Dr . Nellie McClung also worked diligently to give women the right to vote.

Extractions: Patriarchy Know that patriarchy is a social system based on the principles that: Equality Know that Canadian political culture had accepted egalitarian value such as: Womens Rights Over centuries, a set of attitudes and norms evolved relating to the role of women and became a part of political culture. The Common Law of England stated that "A woman is not a person in matters of rights and privileges, but she is a person in matters of pains and penalties." This was an explicit statement of inequality which became part of the Canadian constitution. The Canadian Election Act until the early twentieth century stated that "No woman, idiot, lunatic or criminal shall vote." Women have had a long struggle to change these kinds of attitudes in the political culture. In general women were not given many rights. In 1900 the prevalent societal view was that women should be in the home raising the children and serving her husband. It was assumed that men were the wage-earner of the family. During this era, the temperance society was part of the womens movement (temperance meant abolishing alcohol). Higher education was not available to women; in 1884 McGill University admitted women students. The first suffrage movement (the right to vote) in Toronto was established by Dr. Emily Howard Stowe in 1877. Nellie McClung also worked diligently to give women the right to vote. It seemed unacceptable that men who immigrated into Canada after 1896 received the right to vote while women did not. Women worked as domestics, in textile factories and in clerical positions.
