  • Summary Of Susan B. Anthony

    2088 Words  | 5 Pages

    Today, women and men have equal rights, however not long ago men believed women were lower than them. During the late eighteenth century, men expected women to stay at home and raise children. Women were given very few opportunities to expand their education past high school because colleges and universities would not accept females. This was a loss for women everywhere because it took away positions of power for them. It was even frowned upon if a woman showed interest in medicine or law because that was a man 's place not a woman’s, just like it was a man 's duty to vote and not a woman 's. The road to women 's right was long and hard, but many women helped push the right to vote, the one that was at the front of that group was Susan B. Anthony.

    Anthony’s speech as a whole you get her message of overwhelming desire to claim that the entirety of The United States built the perfect union in which she so adamantly calls upon in the subject of Women’s Suffrage. Anthony insists that white male Americans weren’t the only persons to build the country she lives in, but women as well. She acknowledges the fact that the oligarchy of race in America is among the downfalls of the United States, but she argues that it is the oligarchy of men over women that truly is the greatest disgrace in American Society. This attitude toward race and sex limits the intersectionality it has between the two classifications by saying that identities are ranked. Anthony opposes the argument laid out by black feminists and Terborg-Penn’s article that claim identities are equally important and cannot be
