The American women had struggle a lot to get equality among men. They got tired of being treated unfairly. Women wasn't too important in those times. So, they wanted to be someone in the world and stand up for what they really are.Women were very resistant! The 300 women fighting for their rights in Seneca Falls wrote a document called the "Declaration of Sentiments". Also, they began to speak out and created many associations and organizations advocating for what they wanted. One achievement was Alice Paul campaign. This was based on adding the amendment of Equal Rights to the US constitution. Every year, this woman continued with this idea. In 1972, the Congress finally decided to pass this amendment of "Equal Rights Movement". Women used various methods. One of them was the resistance of protesting for their rights. They protested day after day for getting equality between men and women. At last, the government started paying attention to them and hearing their speeches. Finally, all of this women were successful and they got equality and rights. The women didn't used any violent neither economic methods. They usually used the social method by protesting. Many of them tried to make speeches. Others wrote books such as "Course of Popular Lectures". In fact, they created documents, amendments and other things to get the attention of the public.
The American women really did a good job to finally be successful. It was so unfair that men were treated much better than women, just because they were strong and could do heavy jobs. These movement was very important, because it motivated people to stand up and fight for what is right. It was time that someone be strong enough and stood up for each all of these women.
