Women’s Right’s Movement Begins
Women’s Suffrage is the right of women to the ballot in elections both nationally and locally by the law. This came up since in the ancient days; women were prohibited in such activities because of their gender. Below is a discussion on primary and secondary sources about the women’s Rights Movement Begins in the Republic of the French policies and the efforts they made in their movements.
The primary and secondary sources include journals, books, newspaper articles, photographs, and women who fought for their rights. The first feminist suffragette was. Jeanne Elizabeth Schmahl came up with the French Union for women’s Suffrage in 1909 to fight for women’s rights in France to cast their votes. Despite all her efforts, women were not immediately granted the opportunity to vote (Kimble, 2014). This came up after the Republic of the French government established on 5th October 1994 the order of 21st April 1994 of the French National Liberation Committee. After that, women were allowed to vote but by dividing themselves according to their social classes after sociologist Robert Verdier contested the voting gender gap. The second one was Sonia Olga Balachwsky, who became the first female lawyer who advocated for women’s rights in marital status despite women being allowed to be judges. The third one is Hellen Cixous, who led to abolishing the stipulation that the father had the sole power over the children’s property.
The first secondary source in the book written by B Steven C concerning women’s Suffrage in the French Republic illustrates how some feminists fought for women’s Suffrage. Secondly, the book French Feminism in the nineteenth Century by Claire Goldberg Moses explores the relationship between feminist ideology and women’s actual statuses, legal, social, and economical. The third is Anne Kenney, who advocated for women’s rights to vote, which succeeded in 1918 and 1928 through the law (steve 1950).
In conclusion, women’s Suffrage led to women’s freedom having the same equal opportunities as men through various movement act enacted by few feminist suffragettes. The rights of women are to be observed since they are equal to men. On the other hand, education creates a forum for women to take part in the positions that men have because it offers the same skills and knowledge in leading.
