Long ago! Back in early 1900’s and before there was trillions of women from around the world having to do what their men wanted them to do. No independence, nothing of a sort. So one day, all these women came together and decided to fight for their own right to have independence, rights, and so much more like their male counter parts. It was not easy, they made it for themselves and future women to go on their lives as they should. Just like what Susan B. Anthony said, “No self-respecting woman should wish or work for the success of a party that ignores her sex”.
I here have these twelve reasons why women should vote:
-
BECAUSE those who obey the laws should help to choose those who make the laws.
-
BECAUSE laws affect women as much as men.
-
BECAUSE laws which affect WOMEN are now passed without consulting them.
-
BECAUSE laws affecting CHILDREN should include the women’s point of view as well as the man’s.
-
BECAUSE laws affecting the HOME are voted on in every session of the Legislature.
-
BECAUSE women have experience which would be helpful to legislation.
-
BECAUSE to deprive women of the vote is the lower their position in common estimation.
-
BECAUSE having to vote would increase the sense of responsibility among women toward questions of public importance.
-
BECAUSE public spirited mothers make public spirited sons.
-
BECAUSE about 8,000,000 women in the United States are wage workers, and the conditions under which they work are controlled by law.
-
BECAUSE the objections against their having the vote are based on prejudice, not on reason.
-
BECAUSE to sum up all reasons in one – IT IS FOR THE COMMON GOOD OF ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WAIT! There is a movie that was made upon this marvelous movement! Of Mothers, Daughters, and Rebels! Starring Hollywood’s favourites Carey Mulligan, Meryl Streep, and Helena Bonham Carter. This movie most definitely captured the amazing movement 100%! So in the early 20th – century Britain, the growing suffragette movement forever changes the life of working wife and mother Maud Watts (Carey Mulligan). Galvanized by political activist Emmeline Pankhurst (Meryl Streep), Watts joins a diverse group of women who fight for equality and the right to vote. Along with the help of the groups’ secret weapon (Helena Bonham Carter) Edith New, and the rest of these powerful women faced with increasing police action. Maud and her dedicated suffragettes must play a dangerous game of “cat – and – mouse”, risking their own; jobs, homes, families and lives for just a cause.
Historically, the year 1848 is actually when the movement for women’s rights launched to its full potential. Rafted on August. 18th, 1920 the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution granted American women of a 70 – year battle, the right to vote – a right known as women suffrage.
Just remember ladies, the best protection any women can have….is courage no matter what race, color, ethnicity, disability, or anything else that is unique to her!
