Song- "I Feel the Earth Move" by Carole King

 

With the initiation of women's suffrage in the United States, the nation has evolved to accept the roles of women.  Increasingly more and more women are moving out of the household, and into jobs that were traditionally male.  Women like Hilary Clinton(Pictured to the Right), Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, Amelia Earhart, Margaret Chase Smith, Rachel Carson, and Sandra Day O’Connor all owe there successes to the work of Susan B. Anthony and her companions.

The Women's Movement in the United States of America is a story of both hardships and miracles.  Colonial American life provided a catalyst for women to take on new roles in the household, and society.  With this women gained suffrage in many colonies.
 
Hardships were still common.  The Salem Witch Trials resulted in the death of numerous women accused of being "witches."  The constitution, a shining torch of democracy, did not protect the right of women to vote, and all states came to remove suffrage.
 
Abolition and the Women's Movement became tied, but with the closure of the Civil War, the abolition movement abandoned women's rights for the garentee of suffrage for all free men.  The Women's movement perservered and in 1920 women's suffrage was granted.
