blog # 7

Throughout history women had suffered from a lot of unjust law that discriminated against them. The law had discriminated against women for many years; therefore there are some people who fights for all women right that they enjoy today. Based on the writing of Stanton we could conclude that women were treated unfair from men for a long time. Women did not have the right to elective franchise. At that time the women did not had the right to vote or have the right to state their opinion. Also the women did not have any representations on the government for so many years and that help men to keep ignoring the rights of women. Moreover when women use to get married they were treated badly if as they were owned by them. From what I understood that men were also allowed to take their women’s wages and they can not do anything to stop them. Furthermore the men were the one who formed the law of divorce. More then there were a lot of traditional that took many of the women’s rights. Some of those traditions become well known so people start to belief on them as if they were laws. For example women use to do all the house work like cleaning, cooking, and take care of the children. Those were some of the factors that made women los there rights. From the reading basically someone can conclude that women had not rights at the time.

I totally agree with you on the way that the women are descibed in this piece of writing, they seemed to be degraded of even being human.

I agree woman are dishonored in this reading.I think you understood the reading clearly and made interesting points. Woman had no rights because they did not know them and they didn't know them because of the lack of education, which was because they were kept in solitude.
