Women in the 19th Century: Crash Course US History #16
Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
In which John Green finally gets around to talking about some women's history. In the 19th Century, the United States was changing rapidly, as we noted in the recent Market Revolution and Reform Movements episodes. Things were also in a state of flux for women. The reform movements, which were in large part driven by women, gave these self-same women the idea that they could work on their own behalf, and radically improve the state of their own lives. So, while these women were working on prison reform, education reform, and abolition, they also started talking about equal rights, universal suffrage, temperance, and fair pay. Women like Susan B. Anthony, Carry Nation, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the Grimkés, and Lucretia Mott strove tirelessly to improve the lot of American women, and it worked, eventually. John will teach you about the Christian Temperance Union, the Seneca Falls Convention, the Declaration of Sentiments, and a whole bunch of other stuff that made life better for women.

Any sources to prove that wife beating and spousal abuse was legal before feminism? One English colony had spousal abuse against wives abolished ever since the year 1641 according to their law book called "The Body Of Liberties" You don't sound much like a historian, you sound like a mangina and a feminist.
-
May i point out that Wyoming gave the vote to women in 1869 because of the strength, influence and intelligence of local madames. Wyoming even refused to join the united states without women keeping the vote.

They pre-judged the gender of the person on the chalkboard! You could hurt their feelings.

Nice reference to Margaret Fuller's "Women in the Nineteenth Century" with the title :)
-
Yep every male protagonist is "sexist" and a sign that the "patriarchy" is still in power. Not like the films were aimed more at a male audience just as heroine films are aimed for female....
Insinuating that character choice is a sign of "sexism" actually trivializes real adversity women face today. -
good explanation .......
-
Is he an idiot. Princess Leia said she didn't want to be trained in Episode 6. Don't talk about my movies if you don't get your facts straight!
-
Does anyone have any outside sources that I could read more about these reform movements?
