...Script a conversation between two notable women from the 18th and/or 19th century on the roles women should play in society. 1. Biographical information for each woman Betsy Ross was born Elizabeth Griscom to Samuel Griscom and the former Rebecca James in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on January 1, 1752, the eighth of seventeen children. She grew up in a household where the plain dress and strict discipline of the Society of Friends dominated her life. She learned to sew from her great-aunt Sarah Elizabeth Ann Griscom. Her great-grandfather Andrew Griscom, a Quaker carpenter, emigrated in 1680 from England (www.biography.com). Like her sisters, she attended Quaker schools and learned sewing and other crafts common in her day. After Betsy completed her schooling, her father apprenticed her to a local upholsterer, where at age 17 she met John Ross, an Anglican. The two young apprentices quickly fell for one another, but Betsy was a Quaker, and the act of marrying outside of one's religion was strictly off-limits. To the shock of their families, Betsy and John married in 1772, and she was promptly expelled from both her family and the Friends meeting house in Philadelphia that served as a place of worship for Quakers. Eventually, the couple opened their own upholstery business, drawing on Betsy's deft needlework skills. Betsy Ross is best known for making the first American flag. Betsy died on January 30, 1836, at the age of 84. Susan B. Anthony was born February 15, 1820 in Adams...

...Imagine a society where “woman will either be the friend or slave of man, ” resulting in a separation of genders (34). During the 18th Century in Europe, there were many cultural and social differences between men and women. In her book, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, Mary Wollstonecraft confronts the many norms of the time period that was a large intellectual and cultural movement. This period of Enlightenment spread throughout Europe quickly, especially through literacy. With people such as Wollstonecraft, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the cultures of then and now are capable of tracking the norms by understanding through reason and ultimately thinking for oneself (McChesney 02/02/2015). By using logic and reason, the evaluation of the social and cultural norms during the Enlightenment are evident. Wollstonecraft primarily identifies that there is a large difference of respect upon women...

...Even though women have been creating art since the beginning of the Homo sapiens species it was not until the late 1960’s and 1970’s when female artists began to receive the recognition they deserved for their talent and art. Early women in the world of art have been faced with challenges due to gender biases, often being encountered with difficulties when it came to training, traveling, selling their art, as well as even receiving credit for their own work. However, even with so many obstacles facing early women artists, some managed to be an exception and become successful fine artists of their time. What did this handful of women do differently to become successful and break barriers for their time? Dating back to the prehistoric area up...

...works are relatable to all women who have experienced or are experiencing oppression by society. Gilman’s feminist outlook is clearly seen in her academic works as well as her short stories. Especially in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, feminism was starting to accumulate among women of all ages. Gilman has been compared to other great feminist writers such as Simone de Beauvoir and Betty Friedan and they all share a common theme: their personal life correlates with their writing. Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s personal struggles with oppression contribute to her success as a feminist writer, as exemplified in her works Women and Economics, Herland and The Yellow Wallpaper; Gilman’s controversial opinions on male dominated societies and women's rights label her as an icon for implementing social change in the 18th/19th century because she steers away from traditional Victorian gender roles. Born in Hartford, Connecticut on July 3rd, 1860, growing up was difficult for Gilman and her brother as her parents split due to their different views on women’s rights. Her father’s family was very liberal and believed in freedom for women which was reflected in Gilman’s relatives like Isabella Beecher Hooker, a famous women’s suffragist. On the other hand, Gilman’s mother’s family was very conservative and more traditional. Throughout her childhood, Gilman felt conflicted to express herself and stand out or “act like a proper lady”. Gilman’s father left the family when Gilman was a young girl...

...Domesticity by many men resulted in many women staying in the private sphere unwillingly, unequal pay compared to similar jobs done by men, and few socially acceptable career options for women, causing them to fight these injustices legally in courts and participating in strikes and protests. On average, women received inferior education when compared to men, which prevented many women from becoming skilled workers; therefore, women claimed that the education system needed reforms due to the lack of equality. As a significant Antebellum reform movement, abolitionism attracted many women, which in turn caused them to reflect upon their own similarities with slaves and encouraged themselves to combat the social transgression...

...the early 20th century were a crucial breeding ground for the development of how government and citizens saw their roles. Religious groups and women preached toward anti-alcoholic sentiments and brought about the 18th amendment. Many states prior to this had already banned alcohol sales and it was considered a state matter that government shouldn’t interfere with. This amendment, although morally right, was more of a volatile infringement on American standards that had been around since the Mayflower. Government officials ended up accepting bribes, alcohol that was sold illegally often killed buyers from poisonous elements used in home distillery, and the mafia began to establish stronger footholds...

...1. In what ways did the Gary Indiana school system illustrate how schools were transformed and how was that transformation publicly justified during the progressive era? Gary Indiana school system changed from a “traditional school” to a “progressive school.” Traditional schools taught reading, math, and writing to students, often only to males. Gary Indiana school system taught student social, political, physical, mental, and social training. During the time, school enrollment increased dramatically from 7% to 32%. Also, more and more families were beginning to live in the cities. The transformation from “traditional schools” to “progressive schools” was sold as a shift from rural life to urban life. After the 1920’s, the number of cities grew with a half a million people grew from two to twelve. During the Gary Indiana school system transformation, immigration was at an all-time high along with the increased amounts of factories and other industries. The “progressive school” systems allowed teachers to teach the specific skills required in different types of occupations. 2.

...Portsmouth Harbor on the coast of England. She was born the daughter of Milbourne Marsh, a carpenter, and Elizabeth Evans, who may have been black or mulatto. She also had two younger brothers named Francis and John. Elizabeth Marsh’s life was one exotic adventure after another as she traveled extensively and later wrote about it. Colley uses a single woman’s life to provide insight into broader historical forces, she engages readers to highlight the complex global issues and a woman’s place in those issues in the eighteenth century. Although there are not a lot of sources by Elizabeth Marsh to tell her full story, Colley uses Elizabeth’s Moroccan and Indian writings, her brother John’s memoir, Milbourne’s maps, and most importantly her uncle George Marsh’s books and journals about himself and his family. By using other people’s sources to tell this story, Colley connects Elizabeth to the world. In the 18th century British gender roles and position of women in society have not progressed to the extent that it has in recent years....

...In 1492 a new frontier was discover by a European explorer. This vacant and plentiful land contained endless amounts of hope for numerous Europeans who wished to flee their homes. Wanting to discover freedom for themselves and their families, immigrants came to North America to find individuality and embrace the many liberties they had hoped to secure. Unfortunately, not every person received what he or she had expected from the “land of the free”. These primary sources tell us that freedom in 18th century North America varied due to external and inherent factors such as vocational status, gender, and geographical location. Being a laborer during the 18th century rubs up with the modern conception of forced labor; incomparable to say the least. Today, a person can choose their optimal career and receive workforce training and payment for their contributions. We have come a long way since 1718 where young men, such as William Mathews, would agree to a seven-year long apprenticeship to eventually becoming a craftsman. The contract between Mathews and his master, Thomas Windover, outlines a number of guidelines that were set in place to ensure each party would maintain their responsabilities to each other. Some rules are understandable as they uphold respect for the master such as “During all of this term, the said apprentice shall faithfully serve his said master, shall faithfully keeps his secrets, gladly obey his lawful commands everywhere” (55). Even today children are expected...

...Debate 1: The Industrial Revolution in England from the 18th to the 19th century was a benefit to the English working class. By: 1. Dhakshani Dharmadeva (2614) 2. Dinu Siriwardana (2971) 3. Melani Mallawarachchi (2950) The Industrial Revolution in England from the 18th to the 19th century was NOT a benefit to the English working class. Industrial revolution was a period of major industrialization that took place during the late 1700s and early 1800s. The Industrial Revolution, beginning in Great Britain, quickly spread throughout the world. This time period saw the mechanization of agriculture, textile manufacturing, a revolution in power such as steam ships and railroads, and had a massive effect on social, cultural and economic conditions. We learned that industrial production increased tremendously, bringing wealth and power to Great Britain throughout the 19th century. But it’s time to consider its effects on people, we have yet to explore the effects of industrialization on society, on the daily living and the working conditions of common people. What was life like for the average industrial worker? Was living in a new industrial city and working in a factory an improvement over life in the countryside? Did the new factory life change for the better the roles of family members, including women and children? Were people healthier? In general, did the Industrial...

...illustrate the author's value of marriage. Charlotte's tragedy has personal reasons, but more social reasons at that time. She was submissive, and resistant. Her marriage symbolizes the unfortunate fate of British women at that time. Key words: Charlotte, marriage, middle-class women, symbolism II. The reasons for Charlotte’s marriage Personal reasons The personal reasons for Charlotte married to Collins are quite embarrassing. First of all, Charlotte was far from beautiful and wealthy. Without wealth, women could not be independent. Thus, she was forced to get married and got a support. Secondly, she has already reached the age of marriage. She was too old to wait for very romantic and wealthy gentlemen. Thus, she had no way to go but seized the chance to marry Collins, who was willing to marry her and gave her economic support. That was what Charlotte needed most. B. Social reasons In Britain of early 19th century, women have no independent economic status and income. Their property inheritance is limited by law. On the other hand, women were not supposed to work outside because men and women worked together would do harm to women’s moral. Under the influence, if women did try to work outside, they will be looked down upon, “because of the stigma attached to women who earn money through working.” (Swords 77)Thus marriage is the only means they get...
