Women’s suffrage rights has always been a deep rooted history across the world over many years. So many women paved the way and became trailblazers for many rights that women have today. Women such as Susan B Anthony produced change during her time and created a vast impact. Women equality has been a known struggle in society since centuries ago, and it took a lot of hard work and time for women to finally start being treated nearly as equally as men. The significance of women equality is so important to acknowledge, as it has changed over time drastically and this was their chance of receiving the same opportunities. 

The article I read is very evident in this topic because it proves how long women’s suffrage has been going on and how it has developed over time. This idea had become very normalized in our society and throughout many years because men were always thought to be superior and stronger than women. Women have always been seen incapable of being on the same level and receiving the same, if not, bigger opportunities. Another woman who had the courage of speaking up in the early stages of women’s suffrage is Sarah Grimke. She was an abolitionist and advocate for women’s rights but unfortunately, was later silenced by male abolitionists. An extremely important trademark in the history of women empowerment may also be known as when Harriet Tubman escaped slavery and helped many other slaves escape as well. This moment will always be recognized as groundbreaking and she has been remembered for many decades. Eventually, protests broke out and women began allowing their voices to be rightfully heard in their long fight. Amendments became introduced and after an extremely difficult journey, it wasn’t until 1923 where a National Women’s Party proposed the equal rights amendment to eliminate discrimination of gender. 

As the video plays, I can expand my knowledge on this topic by learning about the brave woman named Ida B. Wells. The impact and incredible force she helped create took great strength and bravery and she embodied what women’s rights was about. She didn’t let anything discourage her from fighting for the equality of women, despite any hardships she experienced throughout her life. She was a hero to many and her courageous tactics live on to be remembered. Although there are several controversial figures in the women’s suffrage movement like the video states, they all helped pave a big change for the things women can finally encounter today. Each made a staggering statement during their time and continue to be heavily acknowledged and taught in many class lessons such as now. Many women would even travel across countries to participate in marches to show their dedication. The video also shows the struggle of women of color during this period. Ida would always stand up for herself and what she believed was right and stood front and center whenever the marches began. She established many women organizations and was very outspoken in her opinions.
