This week’s video had me learn about a person that I did not know about but am happy the I now know because she impacted and strived for a change. This is Ida B. Wells, she was a Jounalist and educator in leader the civil rights movement but also fought for women right especially African American women. This made me realize how many other influential figures of movement are never talked about or brought up. The women suffrage was a crucial time for women because it led us to be able to vote and have rights, it is amazing to me how early on activism has been in the community. I knew there was activism for many years but never really knew where it started and with what movement. 

Claire Goldberg Moses’ “What’s in a Name? On Writing the History of Feminism” described the organized women’s movement with sexuality, reproduction, peace, etc. It gives me a unique way of understanding what I thought I knew about the movement. Skimming through “One Hundred Years toward Suffrage: An Overview” specify exactly when and what happen and help me visualize during what time happen during the women suffrage movement. All these resources contribute to getting an understanding of the movement and what parts were missing that were not thought to us.
