Womens Rights Movement
46. R- of Women
Womens rights are guarantees of political, social, and nomic equality for women in a society that traditionally gives more power and freedom to men. Among these rights are control of property, equality of opportunity in education and employment, right of voting, and freedom of marriage. Today, complete political, nomic, and social equality with men remains to be achieved.
47. Traditional Sta- of Women
Male control was obvious from the time of the earliest written historical rrds, Probably as a result of mens role in hunting and warfare. The belief that women were naturally weaker and inferior to men was also found in god-centered religions. Therefore, in most traditional societies, women generally were at a disadvantage. Their education was limited to learning domestic skills, and they had no access to positions of power. A woman had no legal control over her person, her own land and money, or her children.
48. S- of Womens Rights Movement.
The Age of Enlightenment (启蒙时期)and the Industrial Revolution, which caused nomic and social progress, provided a favorable climate for the rise of womens rights movement in the late 18th and the 19th century. In 1848 more than 100 persons held the first womens rights convention in New York, and the feminists (女权主义者) demanded equal rights, including the vote.
