Women’s Rights Act
The Civil Rights Act was approved in 1964 and is considered to be a landmark piece of legislation. The Act was set to end racial segregation in schools and help all races become equal in the eyes of society. It wasn’t set up to stop discrimination on opposite sexes. A demarcate from Virginia added the word sex which gave a whole new prospective for the civil rights movement and gave women rights to become individuals. Some argued that he put the word sex in there so the bill wouldn’t be passed, but the man from Virginia argued that he amended it in support of the National women’s party.
The movement was one of the best things that could have happened to women and to other races. This gave all the power to become their own person and not have to live by someone else’s set of rules or be defined as someone else’s property. The significance of this is that the act made it illegal to discriminate against age, religion, sex, color, and national origin. Which in turn gave women and colored people the right to work where they wanted and to vote. Throughout the years there were many women that fought for the Women’s rights act some to be named are Suzan B Anthony she gave lectures on women’s suffrage, Elizabeth Stanton she was a close friend to Suzan B Anthony and help Lucretia Mott organize the first Women’s rights convention in the United States. Next is Eleanor Roosevelt help by establishing and getting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Act passed, which declared that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights, and Margret Sanger was a nurse who fought for women’s rights to family planning and birth control. Some of the men behind the Women’s Rights act were James Mott husband and Co-founder of the women’s rights convention, Howard Smith who added the sex word to the amendment right before it was passed. There are many others but these were the men that had some of the biggest parts in the passing of the Bill.
