Women's Labor Rights and Suffrage (expository)

Women’s labor rights was the main subject on the minds of millions. People marched and fought and participated in conventions to gain women’s rights. Seeing as men already had their rights and were gaining more and more, it only seemed fair that women have their rights. However, it wasn’t fair that women had to fight for their rights, but many women say that if that is what it takes, they will fight.

Many women, such as, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Amelia Bloomer and Inez Milholland and many more were the ones fighting for women’s rights. Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton helped each other out and they became dear friends. Elizabeth Cady Stanton continued her journey for women’s rights after Anthony passed away. Amelia Bloomer was publishing her views on temperance and social issues in her own bi-weekly publication, The Lily. And finally, Inez Milholland led the women of different countries and some men through Pennsylvania Avenue on a march on March 3, 1913. Those who did not support this movement, were on the outlines of the parade trying to block them and trying to trip, shove and kick these people out of the march. However, the women and men kept going and a little more than half the people made it through.

As we see women’s rights today, we should thank those who gave them to us, who fought for them, who never gave up. These women, and many more, gave up most of their lives, and for Susan B. Anthony, her whole life in order to bring women justice.
