Women in the 19th Century: Crash Course US History #16

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

In which John Green finally gets around to talking about some women's history. In the 19th Century, the United States was changing rapidly, as we noted in the recent Market Revolution and Reform Movements episodes. Things were also in a state of flux for women. The reform movements, which were in large part driven by women, gave these self-same women the idea that they could work on their own behalf, and radically improve the state of their own lives. So, while these women were working on prison reform, education reform, and abolition, they also started talking about equal rights, universal suffrage, temperance, and fair pay. Women like Susan B. Anthony, Carry Nation, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the Grimk-s, and Lucretia Mott strove tirelessly to improve the lot of American women, and it worked, eventually. John will teach you about the Christian Temperance Union, the Seneca Falls Convention, the Declaration of Sentiments, and a whole bunch of other stuff that made life better for women.

You know the ironic thing, is that despite women only being -valued- if they got married, they had more rights if they weren't married. They could sign contracts when if they married, they couldn't.

Just now watching this video and wanted to point out the one thing that didn't age well. Finally a female jedi and (although retroactively) it turns out Leia was Jedi trained.

Look I understand girls wanted to vote for the Temperance Movement, but did they not realize that Saturdays were for the boys?
