Women's History in America Presented by Women's International Center WIC Main Page Biographies Words of Wisdom Newsletter ... Living Legacy Awards WOMEN'S RIGHTS . 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. Early Attitudes Toward Women 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."

It was a democracy that, until that point, had existed in no other place. Leading the world Australia became the first country to secure the right to vote and the right to stand for election to parliament for its women. It was a significant victory for Australia’s suffragette movement . They succeeded in spite of strong opposition to the Act of Parliament, which enshrined these new women’s rights in law. Australia was breaking new ground and leading the world in developing a more participatory democratic system. The victory was indeed groundbreaking, but the next hurdle proved even more difficult. It took nearly 20 years before the first woman was elected to a State parliament. It took more than double that time (41 years) for a woman to enter federal parliament. Ironically, this ‘time lag’ was the longest of any western country.

The mission is to empower feminists, who are the majority, and to win equality for women at the decision-making tables of the state, nation, and the world."

We advocate crucial issues to positively impact our nation, strengthen our Republican Party through recruiting and training candidates, and empower women of all ages and diversity in the political process. NFRW is a grassroots organization with approximately 100,000 women and 1,800 unit clubs nationwide. We believe our strength comes from diversity of opinion, experience, and culture."

This is not a new phenomenon. On the other side of the political spectrum, for 10 years the very media which are responsible for covering national politics pronounced the NDP "irrelevant" and "marginalized." It happened to be the10 years when Audrey McLaughlin and Alexa McDonough were successive leaders of the party. I came to believe that if Audrey and Alexa had spoken with the tongues of angels and had performed acts of charity and social conscience worthy of Mother Teresa and there were times when they did both there would have been and there was a loud ho-hum from the Parliamentary press gallery. But the NDP has a new leader now and when Jack Layton sneezes, the national media say, "God bless you." Suddenly, the NDP is "back in the game," "renewed," "revitalized."

Women have always played a significant role in Arizona politics. In 1914, when most women were not actively voting, two women, Frances Munds and Rachel Berry, were elected to the Arizona State Legislature. In 1998, Arizona once again made history by electing women to the top five executive political positions of the state. The essays listed in this website compare the emergence of females in Arizona politics to the progression of national female politicians.

JUNE 13, 2004 SUN Updated 06.55 AM Archive Women in politics: Are their worst enemies men - or other women? Male MP thinks women are harsher on their own sex in politics; some women MPs agree BANISH the thought that male chauvinists are standing in the way of women in politics. Women's main detractors are members of their own sex. Some homemakers chide Madam Ho (West Coast GRC) for having a career. That, at least, is the controversial theory of veteran Bukit Timah MP Wang Kai Yuen. Dr Wang, who is also head of the Feedback Unit, offered this view at a recent Institute of Policy Studies conference, when asked about the dearth of women in Parliament. He said that women tend to judge other women 'more harshly'. This frank statement created a ripple in the elegant Shangri-La ballroom, with many women sighing at what they saw as yet more evidence of the patriarchal attitude of Singapore's political elite. But when The Sunday Times caught up with Dr Wang, he stuck to his guns. 'Women are more critical of other women than of men, whether in the way they dress or their achievements,' he said. 'We hear women asking about women politicians, 'Why not spend more time with family?' '

"It's a practical how-to guide that helps women who are getting started on the road to a career in electoral politics," says Brigitte Neuman, executive director of the council. The booklet - the second edition of a manual first published 13 years ago - contains tips on how to campaign, raise funds and deal with the media.

The Washington Post U.S. trails Europe on women in politics By WILL LESTER Associated Press Fri, Feb. 28, 2003 WASHINGTON - While it's the pre-eminent nation in technology, a superpower intent on exporting democracy, the United States lags far behind "Old Europe" and some Third World countries when it comes to electing women to high political office. Consider these facts: Women are not making progress in state legislatures, younger women are not entering the political field in numbers to guarantee gains, and some who succeeded in politics at the state level had to leave because of term limits. "We're behind and we have to catch up," said Marie Wilson, president of the White House Project, which seeks to increase the number of women in political office. The organization is holding a strategy session Monday in Washington. There are now 14 women in the Senate and 59 in the House. Six governors are women, as are 17 lieutenant governors.
