Hardships and struggles they had to face/ go through.

What comes to mind during that time frame is a lot of protesting and stories about women wanting to be heard, free, and equal.

Resilience in times of hardship

Underpowered and underprivileged by the colors of their skin and the men. Having to put up more of a fight in what they want and in order to gain any power. They are fierce and strong

I think of women that accomplished great things but had to endure lots of struggles like Rosa Parks and Harriet Tubman

What comes to my mind is the fact that women weren’t able to contribute much to society other than would rather be seen in places like the house and taking care of children.

When I think of African American women in the 18th and 19th century I think of slavery and the hardships they went through.

powerful women who didn't get nearly the credit for things they deserve.

The duality in their struggle as women, as well as being African-American.

I think of a time of change and many female activists that were fighting for equal rights

Underrepresentation

2023-11-30 17:26:27 UTC

The lack of representation in the women's suffrage movement.

The struggles and obstacles they had to overcome in such a difficult time. Also activist Sojourner Truth.

Change in narrative

2023-11-30 17:28:06 UTC

Women especially African American have been quite oppressed in their roles in society. Faced with extreme hardship between slavery, racism, and motherhood, this has allowed for resilience in the community and social change for better treatment of women, which has led to modern-day status.

2023-11-30 20:23:21 UTC

I think of social movements, Maya Angelou, Harriet Tubman, and Rosa Parks.
