The Fight for Women's Rights!
Sarah and Angelina Grimkés were two women who began public speaking against slavery and for the rights of women. As they continued their speeches, they began to speak more and more about the equality of women. Many people attacked their ideas because women did not and should not speak in public. These two ladies helped to set the foundation for the women’s rights movement, which ran from 1848-1920. Even after the male blacks began to obtain certain rights, women had to wait another fifty years before they had equal rights. Women did not win the right to vote until 1920 in the nineteenth amendment. I greatly admire these two ladies, and every other woman who fought for our rights. I cannot even begin to imagine what my life would be like if I did not have the rights I have today. I also greatly admire everyone who abolished slavery and fought for their freedom.
