I think everyone is aware of women’s suffrage in society. Although it does not exist I am well aware of how far we have come. Women such as Ida B. Wells and Harriet Tubman are fearless and powerful activists. Harriet Tubman managed to escape slavery and free many slaves for 10 years. Bravery like that takes courage and I have no idea where she found this bravery. If the slave owners found out what she was doing, I’m pretty sure they would have hang her or even worst, torture her. Freeing enslaved individuals is a crime and the fact that she did it for a decade is incredible today the least. Ida B. Wells was an educator, journalist, and a leader for the civil rights movement. I can honestly say I am so inspired by her actions. She kind of reminds me of myself in some ways. Running to the front of a women’s suffrage march when colored people had to stay spin the back is something I would do. The march is about how much women of any race had been suffering for generations. Why can’t we show men that women are smart and stronger together rather than separated. They should have marched as one. Over the years since 1700’s even father back women have slowly become more empowered. Even though they were denied rights/privileges to work,vote,become house owners, be part of the Supreme Court, run for president, etc these strong women never gave up.
