Women's Suffrage in Arkansas Governor Charles H. Brough (center, wearing white suit) with woman suffrage delegation on the steps of the new state capitol. Picture from the files of the Arkansas History Commission. In The Six Boxes of a Commonweale , 1606, Jean Bodin said: Now as for the order and degree of women, I meddle not with it; only I think it meet them to be kept far off from all magistracies, places of command, judgments, public assemblies, and counsels: so to be attentive only unto their womanly and domestical business. In 1632 an English jurist made a similar statement in the introduction to The Lawes Resolution of Womens Rights Women have nothing to do in constituting Lawes, or consenting to them, in interpreting of Lawes or in hearing them interpreted at lectures, leets or charges, and yet they stand strictly tied to men's establishments, little or nothing excused by ignorance. They had no idea what would happen just over three centuries later in America's history. Not only would women fight to get the vote, but they would be elected to positions in government and hold jobs in their society. This web page concentrates on how women went about getting the vote and suffrage movements in the history of Arkansas. Follow these links to the different aspects of suffrage discussed here: History discusses how the vote was gotten, how women used their new right and a few notable women in Arkansas.

Reference International Women's Day (8 March) International Women's Day (IWD) is a date celebrated around the world and commemorated by the United Nations This year's United Nations theme for IWD is "Gender Equality Beyond 2005: Building a More Secure Future," an appropriate theme considering that 2005 is a critical year for reinvigorating our efforts on women's human rights and gender equality. Currently, at the annual session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women , the international community is reviewing the progress made during the last ten years in putting into practice the Beijing Platform for Action - the groundbreaking framework for achieving equality between women and men adopted at the Fourth World Conference on Women in China in 1995. Also this year, the United Nations General Assembly will evaluate the world's progress in fulfilling the commitments and reaching the goals of the major world conferences of the 1990s and of the Millennium Declaration These events arrive on the heels of the recent report of the United Nations Secretary-General's High-Level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change , which calls for United Nations reform and recognizes the interconnection of contemporary threats, such as extreme poverty, disease and environmental degradation.

AllFreeEssays.com Womens Rights Movement Susan B. Anthony taught school in New Rochelle and Canajoharie, NY, and discovered that male teachers were paid several times her salary. She devoted her first reform efforts to antislavery and to temperance, the Campaign to surpress alcohol. But when she rose to speak in temperance convention, she was told, "The sisters were not invited here to speak!" Anthony promptly enlisted in the cause of women's rights. In a lifelong partnership with Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Anthony's organizational skill and selfless dedication built the women's rights movement. The ballot, she became increasingly to believe, was the necessary foundation for all other advances. When she and Stanton published a newspaper, they called it The Revolution. Its motto was "Men their rights and nothing more; women their rights and nothing less." In order to press a test case of her belief that women, as citizens, could not be denied the ballot, Anthony voted. She was tried, convicted and fined for voting illegally. For over thirty years she traveled the country almost ceaselessly working for women's rights. In 1906, her health failing, Anthony addressed her last women's suffrage convention. Although she sensed that the cause would not be won in her lifetime, she looked out across the assembled women and told them, "Failure is impossible." Although Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton devoted 50 years to the woman's suffrage movement, neither lived to see women gain the right to vote. But their work and that of many other suffragists contributed to the ultimate passage of the 19th amendment in 1920.

"To have drunkards, idiots, horse-racing, rum-selling rowdies, and silly boys fully recognized while we ourselves are thrust out," she declared, "is too grossly insulting to the dignity of woman." Speaking more forcefully, she exclaimed, "The Right is ours. Have it we must. Use it, we will."

Women’s Rights Today I Introduction Print Preview of Section Women’s Rights rights that establish the same social, economic, and political status for women as for men. Women’s rights guarantee that women will not face discrimination on the basis of their sex. Until the second half of the 20th century, women in most societies were denied some of the legal and political rights accorded to men. Although women in much of the world have gained significant legal rights, many people believe that women still do not have complete political, economic, and social equality with men. Throughout much of the history of Western civilization, deep-seated cultural beliefs allowed women only limited roles in society. Many people believed that women’s natural roles were as mothers and wives. These people considered women to be better suited for childbearing and homemaking rather than for involvement in the public life of business or politics. Widespread belief that women were intellectually inferior to men led most societies to limit women’s education to learning domestic skills. Well-educated, upper-class men controlled most positions of employment and power in society.

Home Contact ECARDS JOKES ... CELEBRITIES Select other holidays Choose ... Christmas Valentine History Ecards Home International womens Day : History International Women’s Day has retained much of the political focus and vitality that marked its inception over eighty years ago. The official holiday had its modest beginnings in 1908. That year in the U.S., the Socialist Party appointed a womens National Committee to Campaign for the Suffrage. After meeting, this Committee recommended that the Socialist Party set aside a day every year to campaign to womens right to vote, a big step for socialists and one welcomed by women working for suffrage. (Socialists in the U.S. were not as rare in the early 1900s as they are today.) With Pressure mounting to support womens rights, socialist parties began to respond affirmatively. On March 8, 1908, Branch No. 3 of the New York City Social Democratic womens Society sponsored a mass meeting on womens rights. Then, in 1909, American socialist agreed to designate the last Sunday in February as National womens Day; that year and the next, socialist women throughout the U.S. held mass meetings. In May 1910, at the national Congress of the Socialist Party, the womens National Commission recommended that the Last Sunday in February be recognized as International Women’s Day. In Copenhagen, at the Conference of Socialist Women that August, Luise Zietz proposed internationalizing the American Woman's Day. The dynamic German socialist leader and fighter for womens rights, Clara Zetkin, seconded the proposal, and it passed unanimously among the women as it did a few days later in the general International Socialist Congress. As so International Women’s Day was born.

This is truly a celebration - a celebration of the contributions women make in every aspect of life: in the home, on the job, in their communities, as mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, learners, workers, citizens and leaders. It is also a coming together, much the way women come together every day in every country. We come together in fields and in factories. In village markets and supermarkets. In living rooms and board rooms. Whether it is while playing with our children in the park, or washing clothes in a river, or taking a break at the office water cooler, we come together and talk about our aspirations and concerns. And time and again, our talk turns to our children and our families. However different we may be, there is far more that unites us than divides us. We share a common future. And we are here to find common ground so that we may help bring new dignity and respect to women and girls all over the world - and in so doing, bring new strength and stability to families as well.

Now, more than 40 years after the start of Kuwaiti democracy, there has been a serious movement pushing for women's suffrage. This movement has lead to much debate amongst Muslim clerics over the rights women afforded to women by the Koran, the holy text of Islam. The Kuwaiti Ministry of Islamic Affairs issued a religious edict - or fatwa - on March 19 empowering the Emir Sheik Jaber Al Ahmed Al Sabah to resolve the issue of women's suffrage if Muslim clerics cannot reach a consensus on the matter. This new edict replaces the old fatwa, issued in 1985, which explicitly stated the Koran forbids women's suffrage. Considering that the Emir is a staunch supporter of women's rights who once tried to extend suffrage to women in 1999, it is widely anticipated that he will support measures granting women the right to vote. This support is expected to sway undecided legislators and ultimately lead to suffrage for Kuwaiti women.

According to a report from the BBC, "the bill aimed at 'eliminating discrimination against women,' had been sanctioned by Iran's parliament last month, but members of the Council have denounced the convention as 'colonialist and against the Islamic code.'" The rejection of this treaty signals another stumbling block in the fight for women's rights in Iran. In December 2002, Iran had just stopped the stoning of adulteresses as a form of capital punishment; but the practice is still yet to be taken off the statute books. Recently too, Iran's State radio reported that the Guardian Council had ratified a bill granting women more divorce rights. Before, women were only allowed to divorce their husbands if they had obtained written permission from them, or if they could prove that their husband had failed as a provider, was a drug addict, mentally ill or impotent. Men on the other hand were allowed to divorce their wives at their own discretion. Sarsha Blackman, a sophomore Radiation Therapy major, said that, "It is sad that in this day and age women face these difficult issues. But at the same time, this is Islamic belief, so these women should be the ones to criticize or oppose these measures before anyone else."
