Her purpose was to only take care of her kids and follow the rules of her "head master" aka husband. her name was not given property rights or any currency. so this inspire the women's movement. 
• 50,000 feminists paraded down new york cities fifth avenue W/ linked arms. They blocked roads during major rush hours and protested that they deserve more and were worth more. most women wanted education, their own rights, and respect. They held sign such as "Don't iron while the oven is hot" "don't cook - starve a rat". it was easily the largest women's rights rally since the suffrage protest. they also did "sit ins" at bars and restaraunts. one thousand women also protested and sat at the nations capital holding a banner that was begging for equality.

Racism isn't dead, many people are still shoved into a stereotype, and there's still a lot of people who think gay people are evil or gross. It's a struggle for them every day, but at least they stood up for themselves and still do. ]]> 2017-05-25 18:43:04 UTC https://padlet.com/wiggimad000/gysxcpywbap5/wish/173886511
