The American women’s suffrage struggle is thoroughly discussed in Barber’s piece. She traces the movement’s history from its abolitionist beginnings in the 1830s through the 1920s adoption of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote. Barber examines suffragists’ tactics, such as political organizing, petitions, lobbying, and civil disobedience. Overall, Barber’s paper provides a detailed and engaging analysis of the American movement for women’s suffrage, shining light on the problems and accomplishments of this pivotal period in American history. Women not only struggled with how they were treated but also, when they tried to protect themselves and define the mistakes, to change the Law, they hit a brick wall. One hundred years is a lot of painful suffering, full of heavy emotions and hidden fear. One hundred years could be three generations fighting for dignity to work, study, and be valuable. Women collaborate, talk, write, publicly express private shame, and worry about children, family, and their identity. They were trying to find a sense in life. Why do we live if people who work so hard aren’t treated the same? We don’t respect each other – the Law that builds the structure from the moment we wake up till the moment we close our eyes after a sore day is not on the right side of history. The Equal Rights Amendment is proof of the most honorable fight and also that things will not make any sense in life. Reading about the fire in the New York Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire that was a pretext to fight to open people’s eyes was shocking. One hundred forty-eight women died in that catastrophic event! You don’t need to stretch your imagination to see them dying, screaming, choking, and running, crying in agony! We also read that it was COMMON to close people who work hours a day, many days a week, so they won’t steal! Next time I will walk by Washington Place and Greene Str. I will make sure to stop for a moment. The caste system in India is so common to talk about. Those facts of workers living for the most negligible pay are our shared knowledge and something we know exists. It is slavery, and I will never get anything from G.A.P. again! The cast stem is a power abuse, like patriarchy, religion, and many other ways. The one who profits and feels strangers build a structure, and we know that wrong can sound right sometimes, like when I Listen to Natanianhu’s speeches!The women who collaborated to make the change happen are soldiers and great people. Voice is a powerful tool. History should be retold again and again, and now we know more about non-white women who suffered tremendously but also fought bravely and were not giving up. On the other hand, there is a balance. Video of women in the suffrage movement when I heard and read about Ida B. Wells-Barnett, a person I had never heard of before. Her stoic dedication and intelligence bring a feeling of hope. Understanding problems we may not think about via a personal story is empowering. We should know that Afro-American women had a different battleground in history. The Equal Rights Amendment still needs to be put in the Law – such a simple request! We now understand how vital that Amendment is; perhaps we could help.
