The Workplace Of Women's Rights Summary
I read “The Birthplace of Women’s Rights” by Howard Mansfield and “A Powerful Partnership” by Jean McLeod and Karen Gibson.

I think “The Birthplace of Women’s Rights” did better at developing the contribution Elizabeth Cady Stanton made to the women’s rights movement. I think this because it was more about her work life and about what she did during the women’s rights movement. I also think this one was better because it had many quotes from Stanton.

I think the second did poorly (not that I could do any better, but that’s besides the point) because it spoke more of her personal life than her work life and that is not what the prompt said. It also gave very few quotes from Stanton.

The first text was more stretched out among her life.

    In the 18th to 19th century, during the Industrial Revolution, gender equality rights were harsh making it difficult to work in the textile mills. Factories required Women and young children to take on the roles as mill workers to help the families to survive. While men were out in the fields working, women worked harder in the factories making much less than the men. Women worked longer days, starting from before sunrise to past sundown then most men. In addition, women worked in factories with dangerous machines, rats, and overall filthy working conditions. As a result, the female mill workers in America and England shared experiences of inequality due to the amount of money they made, the horrible conditions they had to work in, and their family life.…

    that we should not be proud of Canada’s History in respect to Human Rights of women since the 1914, as the government was reluctant to grant women their rights, despite the numerous times they tried. Although working conditions and laws for education for women had improved, significant changes were not to be seen until the late 1950’s. Women worked really hard to receive the title as “Persons”, and women were not treated equal to men in several aspects. Add concluding sentence.…

Even though many women took on tremendous workloads and dangerous risks during the American Revolution, they still were not granted freedom. It was in early July, 1848 when action is finally take. The Women’s Rights Movement was a major event that led to an abundance of new opportunities for women and left behind an ever-lasting drive for women to continue their fight for equality.…

    Before examining the how the workplace discriminates against mothers, one must acknowledge how the social construction of gender contributes to domesticity, or the gender system that organizes market work and family work. The social construction of gender is the belief that society, not biologically sex differences, is the foundation of gender identity (TAW 22). Even before a child is born, the social construction of gender is already in the works, as clothes and toys given as gifts to the newborn are often defined as either “for girls” or “for boys”. For example, toys that are marketed for boys are action figures while toys marketed for girls are dolls. Likewise, young boys are socialized to…

    The literal definition of feminism is “the theory of the political, economic and social equality of the sexes”. There have been many misconceptions about this term; one of these is that it suggests women want total power, which is inaccurate, as that would be misandry, not feminism. There are countless elements of society where feminism is neededthe workforce is just one of them. Undoubtedly, women experience inequality where they work every day as a result of outdated views on gender.…
