Unequal Benefits Event 11-03-1977, by an act of the U.S. Congress, women who trained airmen in World War II and transported planes to England (unarmed) were finally granted veteran's benefits after seeking them in vain for 34 years. The air force considered them civilians and blocked any veteran benefits for the Women's Air Force Service Pilots (WASPS) headed by the undisputed greatest pilot of them all, Jacqueline Cochran In 1974, the National Organization for Women (NOW) joined in the campaign to get full military honors and benefits for the WASPS who flew 50 million miles during World War II. Thirty-nine lost their lives on duty. The women, among other things, towed the targets that rookie flyboys used live ammunition to shoot at. They weren't always accurate. The women received no military benefits and even their burial expenses were paid for by their families.

ABOUT IWD Celebrated on March 8th, 2005 Save as Bookmark Send this Page to Friend. International Womens Day Home About Iwd ... Women's History An international celebration of education and empowerment Around the world, International Women's Day (IWD) marks a celebration of the economic, social, cultural and political achievements for women. The first IWD was held on 19 March 1911 in Germany, Austria, Denmark and further European countries. German women selected this date because in 1848 the Prussian king had promised the vote for women. Subsequently over one million leaflets calling for action on the right to vote were distributed throughout Germany before IWD in 1911. Now IWD is always celebrated on 8 March and is an occasion marked by women's groups around the world. This date is also commemorated at the United Nations and is designated in many countries as a national holiday. Women in every country, often divided by ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic and political differences, come together to celebrate this important date that represents equality, justice, peace and development. International Women's Day is the story of ordinary women as makers of history; it is rooted in the centuries-old struggle of women seeking to participate equally in society on an equal footing with men. In ancient Greece, Lysistrata initiated a sexual strike against men in order to end war; during the French Revolution, Parisian women calling for "liberty, equality, fraternity" marched on Versailles to demand women's suffrage.

The drive for Kuwaiti women's rights dates back to the 1990s; an effort to give Kuwaiti women the vote was defeated in 1999 by a conservative parliamentary majority. However, what's interesting here is the demonstration. When a similar suffrage measure was before the parliament six years ago, there were no such demonstrations. Rather, as the NYT reported in a 1999 account , "Until now, the most radical protest by Kuwaiti women was in 1996, when about 500 stopped working for an hour." In the wake of the defeat, some women activists said they were "considering different tactics."

Violence Resources December 6, 2001 Agence France Presse: Afghan women's "summit" demands full civil rights www.afp.com A three-day Afghan women's "summit" organized here [in Brussels] by several womens' rights groups concluded Thursday with a call for full restoration of civil rights for Afghan women in their war-torn country. The summit, held in an EU building and backed by Euro-MPs, issued a list of demands for Afghan women's rights in health, education, politics, suffrage and personal freedoms, including birth control, freedom from sexual harassment and forced marriage. A summit statement called for women's participation in the "Loya Jirga," or vast national assembly that is, according to a multi-party Afghan accord in Bonn on Wednesday, to formulate the country's future constitution. "For the past 23 years, Afghan people have been living in the dark," said a separate statement issued by the dozens of Afghan women who participated. "We, the Afghan women, should join our efforts to establish a civil society in our country and bring back democratic values through education and culture," it said. Mary Robinson, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, opened the summit on Tuesday with a call for Afghan women to be "fully represented in future political organs" of their country.

My influences included Womens' rights and feminism. She was born Louisa Albury at Guntawang, near Mudgee, New South Wales, in February 1848. An intelligent and thoughtful child, Louisa rebelled against the domesticity expected of her, and at the age of eighteen, she married Niels Hertsberg Larson. In those days, a young woman had very little choice other than marriage if she wished to leave her family home, especially in the country where there were no other options for women. Louisa took this way out. Married life made her a feminist and she spent thirty-five years of her life fighting for women's rights. In 1902, when the Womanhood Suffrage League of New South Wales celebrated victory at last in obtaining the vote for women, Louisa was referred to as 'The mother of womanhood suffrage.' A great tribute among so many other women who had worked and fought for the right for women to vote.

Asymmetrical Information An opinion-ridden free-for-all Main December 24, 2004 From the desk of Jane Galt Question of the day Sorry I haven't been blogging it's been a little hectic getting ready for Christmas. But while I'm buried in the Great White North, here's a little debate question that came up during the drive to my Grandmother's: It's widely argued that the beginning of the nanny state was the granting of voting rights to women. Assuming that this is, in fact true, here's a conundrum for conservative/libertarian women: would you give up the right to vote in order to secure a more conservative political environment? TrackBack Technorati inbound links Comments Prohibition of alcohol became the law of the land on 16 January 1919 before women received the right to vote on 18 August 1920. Obviously men were able to develop the nanny state on their own. Martha Stewart has seen the light from her jail cell and is now discouraging jailing folks for violating the prohibition on drugs.

ESSAYS A World Wide Movement womeninworldhistory.com Introduction: Today the world is enthralled with images of women lining up to vote for the first time, or for the first time in a long while. Afghanistan, Iraq, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, and South Africa, in recent decades have all held elections allowing women to vote. In spite of this recognition of the fundamental importance of women achieving the vote, attention paid to the history of its long struggle has been marginalized. And, the reasons for the depth of its opposition ignored. Why, for example, did it take until May, 2005, for women in Kuwait to finally achieve their full voting rights in their national elections? Worldwide Alliances and Influences When and Where The Case for Suffrage : Reasons for granting female suffrage have varied. Obstacles to Overcome : Female suffrage was a divisive issue and perceived by some to be too revolutionary. Beyond Suffrage : Suffrage has not been an automatic stepping stone to full equality for women.
