Abstract
This paper reviews the biography of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who lived from 1815-1902 and includes biographical data on the author plus a listing of her published books and articles. It looks at how Banner's book includes detailed documentation, based on primary sources, of Cady Stanton's life and participation in the early years of the women's rights movement. The review covers all aspects of the historical period as described by Banner, concluding that while a massive amount of helpful information on this period is discussed and revealed, some readers may find the work plodding and overly inclusive.
From the Paper
"Banner is obviously sympathetic to the feminist cause, yet she attempts to describe the burgeoning women's movement and Stanton realistically, describing strengths, weakness, and inconsistencies as well as offering possible factors that influenced her thoughts and actions. The author seems determined to discuss every possible influence that might have effected Stanton. The extensive index allows the reader to check out how Elizabeth Cady Stanton reacted to contemporary influences like Marxism, communitarianism, birth control, other feminists, temperance, John Stuart Mill, slavery and just about every other idea that was around during her lifetime."

From the Paper
"In July 13, 1848, the Women?s Rights Movement began (Degler). Elizabeth Cady Stanton, a housewife and mother, discussed the status of women during a tea with four female friends. Stanton expressed her dissatisfaction regarding the limitations placed on women under America's new democracy. She wondered aloud why women did not enjoy the same freedom as men, despite the fact that they had taken equal risks during the American Revolution (Degler, p. 96). Stanton and her friends agreed that the new republic would benefit from having women play greater roles in society. The women create a plan to change things on this day."

Abstract
This paper examines women's rights and the suppression of women in America today. The paper explains that as women become larger and more predominant figures within sectors in the workforce, political arena and other areas of substantial recognition, their freedoms flourish and benefit is found among all of their contributions. The paper also points out that recognizing areas and instances of suppression, organizations like the ACLU, WRP and the National Organization for Women (N.O.W.) are able to counter-suppress the discrimination by pin-pointing the roots of these problems. The paper then looks at how such organizations bring attention to these matters and how this is perhaps one of the most significant factors supporting the efforts for women's rights. The paper concludes that as women's rights continue to progress, their independence has become more apparent and visible as sole discretionary freedoms, which only help to further the desires to rid the discrimination that once influenced the beliefs that women were incapable of fending for themselves in both the work force and at home.
From the Paper
"The evolution of women's rights has had a wrap-around affect that has taken years to finally begin to show its ramifications. As women were given more and more freedom, authority and equality in all aspects of life, the affects eventually came back to support their continuation and strengthened their efforts through the density within the areas they began to infiltrate. This has provided women with a voice to speak in defense of themselves and to stand up against the occurrences of discrimination in all areas of country. The further progression of these efforts has reached a point where women are fully capable of supporting themselves in many ways other than in simple regards as financial means. Fifty years ago, women were much more reliant upon the men in their lives to support and shelter their upbringing, youth, and adulthood."

From the Paper
"One of the most dramatic changes that has occurred in the twentieth century has been in the field of women's rights. Prior to 1960, the most important new policies were the right to vote, accomplished early in the century, and advances in birth control methods. A significant step in birth control occurred in the early 1960s with the availability of oral contraceptives, giving women greater control over pregnancy as well as greater sexual freedom than had ever existed before. Many sociologists consider this a jumping off point for the rapid advances in women's rights that were to take place during the next thirty years."

Abstract
This paper studies how media outlets around the world report on women's rights issues in their country and internationally. The paper examines how the same story with the same facts can take on different interpretations, depending on the news outlet. To demonstrate this point, the author presents two case studies, both of which deal with the seemingly unending struggle for women's rights across the globe. The focus of the paper is on print media and how it can guide emotions and influence their audiences, particularly around the issue of the continuing battle for equal treatment of women.
Outline:
Hind El-Hinnaway- Egypt
Yvette Cade- United States of America
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The public has a right to know," this is the most clear cut reason for why news organizations are such a pivotal part of their societies' and instrumental in shaping the opinions of the audience that they take an oath to protect. However "the newspaper business," as the media has been historically dubbed, is a business nonetheless and winning over advertisers and bringing home Edward Murrow Awards is just as important as keeping the world informed. In the newsroom it is not enough to just have the story, true journalism raises the question of "What makes this a story?" So a there have been a string of robberies and assaults in a Fairfax neighborhood? "What makes this a story?" It is a driving force for the media to find the element of the story that separates CNN from MSNBC.

Abstract
This paper introduces and discusses the Catholic Church. Specifically it discusses the Catholic Church's injustice towards women and women's rights, including domestic violence, women priests, and other matters relevant to women but ignored by the Catholic Church. The paper shows that for centuries, the Catholic Church has been one of the most powerful, wealthiest, and most popular religions in the world. Millions of Catholics worship every week in a church, and donate billions of dollars for Church projects, and millions of these worshippers are women, who are essentially excluded from the Church except for certain roles. In addition, many of these worshipping women live in some of the poorest countries on Earth, facing famine, overpopulation, and lack of education, and yet the Catholic Church will not condone their use of birth control. The paper questions why the Catholic Church is so staunch in its stance against women and women's rights.
From the Paper
"Since the Church excludes women from the clergy, there is a sense of extreme maleness and masculinity throughout the Church, from alter boys on up, and it is not surprising that normal, healthy men, even if they are priests, are sexually stimulated. To ignore this is to ignore the problem, and keeping priests celibate seems to simply exacerbate an already difficult situation. When there are predominately men in an organization, where will men turn to fulfill their urges if no one else is available? Since men are not perfect, they have flaws, and if given the opportunity, they may sin. Not recognizing the strain that celibacy puts on priests is simply another doctrine of the Church that is outmoded."

Abstract
This paper addresses the history of women's rights over the past century in the United States. The paper holds that the road toward equality for women has been extensive and complex. It includes a discussion on their right to vote in 1920 with the Nineteenth Amendment and the passing of the Equal Rights Amendment in 1972, which made it illegal to discriminate anyone on account of sex. The paper points out that, today, women are active members of the military, belong to congress, play all sports and are successful in careers that were once only available to men. The paper concludes that the Equal Rights Amendment has been an important stepping stone towards equality for women.
From the Paper
"When women first were allowed to enter the United States military their roles were restricted to what at the time was considered to be a female occupation. "The government actively recruited women for the military service non-combative service only" (Ching & Ching, 2001). Before the acceptance of women in the military women created groups like WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service) or WASP (Women's Auxiliary Service Pilots). These groups would assist in duties which sometimes were as dangerous as their counterparts however they did not receive the any military benefits, such as pension or insurance (Ching & Ching, 2001). The attitude towards women in the military did not change much an in the 70's the discriminations only amplified. In fact, well known Naval and Air Force Academies refused to allow women to enter using as an excused that it was not necessary since women were only able to perform non-combative service in the United States military (Ching & Ching, 2001)."

Abstract
Throughout history, the experiences lived by men and women have been quite different in terms of equality. Although it may appear that women are on equal standing with men in some areas, a closer look, especially historically speaking, tells a completely different story. This paper researches and examines women?s rights in divorce issues in terms of property and children, as well as the historical movement and shifts in those rights.
From the Paper
"In the beginning of the nineteenth century a common law that was inclusive of elements of hierarchy that imposed severe restraints on the lives of women. Although men were commanded by law to support his wives he was in return given use of all of her property or real property and had absolute rights in the property. If the woman outlived the man then the wife would receive a one-third share of his estate and lifetime tenancy rights."

Abstract
This paper discusses how issues of concern to women have been in the forefront of national debate for more than two decades. It examines how the feminist movement has followed the same general course as the civil rights movement, beginning with organization and passing through various periods of radicalization and retrenchment as obstacles were overcome, successes achieved, and new challenges discovered. It shows how women's rights remain important in the United States and how they are even more important in other areas of the world where women are given second-class status and are still viewed as property and not individual human beings. In much of the world, the fight will be much longer and much harder because of long-standing traditions regarding women and because there is more deference given to tradition, authority, and religion.
From the Paper
"The Women's Movement revived as a major force in the 1960s. More and more women had been entering the job market in the years since World War II. This trend was noted by 1960, but the size of the trend was underestimated. By the mid-1970s, women had entered the job market at rates not expected to be reached until the mid-1980s, and it was reported then that nearly 48 percent of American women over sixteen years of age either worked or wanted a job. Numerous reasons were given for this, including a growing number of young single women looking for their first jobs, newly divorced women with little or no income from their former husbands, women whose husbands did not earn enough so that the family needed a second salary, and women from higher income families who had a desire for broader horizons as a primary reason for working."

From the Paper
"The chief role played by women was motherhood, according to a prominent publication in the mid-19th century, The Mother?s Magazine. This was because it was mothers who directed the formation of habits in their children. The magazine set apart these habits as industry and business-mindedness. Habits, the magazine emphasized, were everything in the forming of character, and mothers are on top of the situation in forming habits among children. He reminded readers that the immortal works and contributions of great men and women in all disciplines throughout history always gave due honor to those who directed their growth ? their mothers. Since the Americas were then in a steady economic, political and cultural development, reading materials encouraged the formation of industries. That diligence needed by the times was in the hands of mothers who not only bore their children?s bodies but also shaped their character. Mothers could even incline their children towards certain skills or occupations. They had such great influence, which they should use to benefit society."

Abstract
This paper discusses the long road travelled by many women's right activists. The paper contends that if it had not been for these women who laboriously paved the way to equality between the sexes, women would not be able to be in the kind of positions they hold in society today. The paper presents a brief overview of the work done by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott, two of the greatest women to stand out, who organized the first women's rights meeting in 1848 and created the Declaration of Sentiments.
From the Paper
"Today many women are achieving tasks that seemed unreachable nearly a century ago. Women are taking on laborous work, such as working in rail yards. They are also competing in sports that were mainly tagged for men only. A few examples of these sports include: basketball, baseball, snowboarding, surfing, football, etc. Women are now enrolling in the navy, army, marines; not just as nurses but as actual soldiers. They are taking active political roles in the United States government. Women are furthermore gaining bigger roles in big business as vice presidents and CEO's. In addition, women can not only expect to receive unbiased consideration by university admissions offices, but they are the majority gender of enrolled students. They can even earn their own income and not have to turn it over to their husbands. As strange as this sounds now, it was not always the case. America's women could not have achieved these roles with out the past experiences of other women who demanded change. "
