    Extractions: International Women's Day (8 March) is an occasion marked by women's groups around the world. This date is also commemorated at the United Nations and is designated in many countries as a national holiday. When women on all continents, often divided by national boundaries and by ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic and political differences, come together to celebrate their Day, they can look back to a tradition that represents at least nine decades of struggle for equality, justice, peace and development. International Women's Day is the story of ordinary women as makers of history; it is rooted in the centuries-old struggle of women to participate in society on an equal footing with men. In ancient Greece, Lysistrata initiated a sexual strike against men in order to end war; during the French Revolution, Parisian women calling for "liberty, equality, fraternity" marched on Versailles to demand women's suffrage. The idea of an International Women's Day first arose at the turn of the century, which in the industrialized world was a period of expansion and turbulence, booming population growth and radical ideologies. Following is a brief chronology of the most important events: In accordance with a declaration by the Socialist Party of America, the first National Woman's Day was observed across the United States on 28 February. Women continued to celebrate it on the last Sunday of that month through 1913.

During the dedication ceremony on February 17, 1905, she was eulogized as Illinois' most eminent citizen, as worthy of honor as Lincoln, Douglas or Grant. But 35 years earlier, as this bespectacled, former one-room school teacher rode the train across the frozen prairie to Springfield, few would have guessed that Frances Elizabeth Willard would be the first woman in the nation to have her statue in the nation's Capitol. Willard, along with other members of the newly formed Illinois Woman Suffrage Association, traveled to the state capital in February 1870 in order to convince the Illinois Constitutional Convention to include universal suffrage into the proposed document. Buoyed by petitions to the General Assembly which favored female suffrage, the thirty year-old Willard declared: "The idea that boys of 21 are fit to make laws for their mothers, is an insult to everyone." Unfortunately, after Willard and her allies left town, the delegates received almost an equal number of petitions against the issue, including one from 380 Peoria women who protested "having the ballot thrust upon them." In May, the convention followed the pattern set by the 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and drafted a document that provided suffrage for all adult males, including Negroes, but not for women.

Ranney In 1920 Wisconsin feminists must have viewed their situation with mixed feelings. They had made notable gains during the previous 50 years, but Wisconsin had lagged behind and was far from accepting women as the legal equals of men. It was unclear whether legal gains for women would continue. Changes in women's rights prior to 1920 were driven partly by idealism but also by economics to a larger extent than is commonly realized. This continued to be the case after 1920.

Equal political rights for women have been advocated since antiquity. Under the autocratic forms of government that prevailed in ancient times and under the feudal regimes of the Middle Ages, however, suffrage was so restricted, even among men, that enfranchisement of women never attained the status of a major political issue. Conditions warranted organized woman-suffrage movements only after suffrage had been won by large, formerly disfranchised groups of the male population as a consequence of the democratic revolutions of the 18th and 19th centuries.

Throughout most of history women generally have had fewer legal rights and career opportunities than men. Wifehood and motherhood were regarded as women's most significant professions. In the 20th century, however, women in most nations won the right to vote and increased their educational and job opportunities. Perhaps most important, they fought for and to a large degree accomplished a reevaluation of traditional views of their role in society. Since early times women have been uniquely viewed as a creative source of human life. Historically, however, they have been considered not only intellectually inferior to men but also a major source of temptation and evil. In Greek mythology, for example, it was a woman, Pandora, who opened the forbidden box and brought plagues and unhappiness to mankind. Early Roman law described women as children, forever inferior to men. Early Christian theology perpetuated these views. St. Jerome, a 4th-century Latin father of the Christian church, said: "Woman is the gate of the devil, the path of wickedness, the sting of the serpent, in a word a perilous object." Thomas Aquinas, the 13th-century Christian theologian, said that woman was "created to be man's helpmeet, but her unique role is in conception . . . since for other purposes men would be better assisted by other men."

A banner across the Star Journal masthead reminded readers that the newspaper's name came from the merger of the Long Island Daily Star (1876) and the North Shore Daily Journal - The Flushing Journal (1841). Welcome to April 1915! Susan B. Anthony Courtesy Western Queens Gazette Eno, unperturbed by occasional squalls from babies in the audience, told the Winfield mothers about the current campaign for a suffrage amendment to the New York State constitution. The Woman Suffrage Party of Greater New York believed that by reaching into every election district to influence its voters, they would bring suffrage close to the people and eventually influence parties and legislators through public opinion Hundreds of women in all the boroughs canvassed voters in shops, factories, tenements, and private homes. Emma Rodman, president of the Elmhurst Suffrage Club, then gave the meeting a vivid picture of the campaign in her neighborhood. The Star-Journal quoted her praise of Queens residents: "The men are fair-minded: they are splendid when you approach them about suffrage. In Elmhurst we meet the men at the railroad station and the trolley cars at night and give them literature telling them why women should vote. They would tip their hats and thank us for the pamphlets, and many would stop at the first lamp-post and read them through before proceeding further." In August 1920 the 19th Amendment would finally give American women the right to vote.

    Extractions: recommended reading Women gained the right to vote through a Constitutional amendment passed by the people of Colorado during a general election on November 7, 1893. As reported in the Aspen Daily Times on November 9, 1893, "Colorado passes Women's suffrage by several thousand votes." In Pitkin County, the official vote count was 913 For and 588 Against. Colorado became the first state in the Union to approve women's suffrage in a popular election. The right to vote came after two failed attempts over a period of twenty-five years of effort on the part of many Coloradoans. Equal suffrage did not just happen. A massive campaign was organized by a combination of determined women and men of all colors, creeds and classes. "Let the Women Vote" was the rallying cry from Denver to Durango. Women's organizations, labor unions, the W.C.T.U., political parties, religious groups, garden clubs, business leaders, and many other reform-minded people set aside their differences to win the vote for women. This radical action was promoted by Governor Davis H. Waite

Both associations waged relentless and grueling campaigns to support suffrage referenda in the states. The National Association also lobbied Congress. Year after year, Anthony led groups of women lobbyists to urge passage of a constitutional amendment for woman suffrage. Despite all these efforts, Congressional hearings were rarely held, and the question of suffrage was never sent to the floor of Congress for a vote.

    Extractions: Women's Rights by Kate Radtke, Brad Squires, Robert Legrow Women’s right’s are something that we most certainly take for granted in the western world, where women today have equal access to education, healthcare, and employment, and where the rights of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness are secured for both sexes. Unfortunately, this is not the case everywhere in the world, and as situations of women around the globe are evaluated, it becomes apparent that women’s rights have only been able to advance with the promotion from organizations and support from governments. The rights of women in many places are often violated. For example, in China and India, where due to the overwhelming population, parents are only allowed to have one child, female infanticide is a regular occurrence (Mass, 1998, pp. 77). In the Middle East if a girl loses her virginity, thereby disgracing her family’s name, she can be set on fire in her sleep while government officials turn their heads (Mass, 1998, pp.78). In Pakistan, in order for a woman to claim that she was raped, she must have a witness to the crime and four men to support her story (Mass, 1998, pp. 77). In Afghanistan many women are denied an education and young girls are afraid leave their homes without the accompaniment of a male relative (Mass, 1998, pp. 70). These examples illustrate the widespread disparity that exists in the world today, concerning the rights of women.
