Be Decent!!!

 

Gender Roles

 

I will be honest!  I do not even remember what this movie is about.  I put the trailer below so you can know the story.  What I was present to is the role of Women in the 18th Century.  For such a long time Women have had no rights!  As a Woman I am so thankful for the rights and freedoms I do have!  

Throughout this movie you are uncomfortable as you watch her with NO VOICE!!!  Her husband has all the rights and decisions.  It made me sad to watch, but watch it!

I also included Marie Antoinette trailer.  The beginning is a little boring, but so was Marie!

 

19th Amendment

 

I am shocked!!!!  Women got the right to vote in 1919 with a constitutional amendment, the 19th Amendment.  It was a Progressive Amendment. And I wander it should not even have taken that long!  Women should have gotten the right to vote in 1783 at the Constitutional Convention when America was founded!  Abigail Adams had it right when she told her husband, John Adams, Remember The Ladies!

The fight for Women's Right began in 1848 at the Seneca Falls Convention, and went till 1919 with the 19th Amendment.  And many would argue Women are still fighting!  Below is my favorite poster created during the early 20th Century:

They have made some great movies of the fight.  Here is the trailer for Suffragette highlighting the fight for Women to get the right to vote!

This next one is a FANTASTIC movie, and it is on YouTube!

Ruby sat so...

 

Rosie the Riveter

 

Rosie the Riveter was created during World War Two.  All the men left for war, now America needs Women to take over the men's jobs.  This poster was meant to inspire Women to go to work.  The poster now inspires Women in so many different ways!  

Here is an article about the significance of Rosie the Riveter.  

Rosie the Riveter Article

It went so deep during the war America made an all girl Baseball League to replace the guy's that went off to war.  They made an awesome movie about it called A Legue of their Own.  There is amoment in the film when some asks will there be another season?  And the response was no - the boys will back.
