Elizabeth Cady Stanton's letter to father

Dear Father,

How are you and mom doing? I want to tell you many thing that going on. And I hope you are still not mad at me, that I married Henry Brewster Stanton. I met a woman named Susan B. Anthony, I don't really like her at first but we work together and we start to become a great friend. I would like you and mom to meet her though. Both of us lead the Women's State Temperance Society, and I was glad how strong I keep fighting on. We also begin a women's rights campaign by trying to expand New York's Married Women's Property Law of 1848. And most of all, my baby boy named Robert Livingston Stanton was born! I haven't written to you for many years, but now on I will write you every two month if I could. So, please don't be mad. Some of my fellow friends are arrested, and I thought the police will protect them. How foolish I thought that way. I already know that, men always thought of us in useless and bad but, and I'm not saying it's you father. You are always working hard for the family and you are the best father in earth. Remember that I still fight for women's right even the day I die. Please pray for your caring daughter to make it happen. Thanks, dad.

From your caring daughter,

Elizabeth Cady Stanton

poem

Women are weak
they don't have a beak

women are stupid
know nothing but cupid

Women are pain
annoying and instane

women are nothing
they don't have something

but we all know they're not
and we are better than a lot

Reflection: In this poem, I thought alot. I was thinking and I start writing what does the guy thinks about women. As I wrote down the list of what's the men's point of view, I think this poem may turn out to be nice. Basically, this poem said that women meant nothing! But we all know they are not, cause we are all created equal.

letters

Dear, Mother

Many things have happened in New York. My fellow friends and I are still fighting for women's right. I know I was also arrested once for voting on 1872. But that is just wrong! I haven’t given up even if I die one day. I believe that all men and women are created to be equal. I still can't believe that US Constitutional Convention place voted that all state shouldn’t let any women vote except New Jersey in 1787. I was glad that New Jersey let the women vote, but in 1806 women lost their right to vote in New Jersey! Just because we are women doesn't mean we aren't allow doing what men do? We can be as strong as them; we can be as smart as them. I know that I got to clam down, but mother this is just so unfair. But I'll be strong and keep on fighting, we, the women will fight for our right till victory. Oh mother, I have one new for you, today I reads the Declaration for the Rights of Women in front of the liberty bell. Crowds of people were cheering for me. I'm glad that I did my best to keep my courage.

Your loved daughter,

Susan B. Anthony

Peom

My will
was never filled

have no rights

But I’ll fight

have no freedom
but I'll make my own kingdom

doesn't make sense
when men said we're tense

I'm not scare
cause this have to be fair

we are strong
like a big king Kong

we are brave
and got what we have

We can't stay in this cave

Because we won't be treat like a slave!

Reflection: I can't think of anything when I decide to do a poem. So I try to pretend that I am one of the woman that help fight for women suffrage. I image myself back in time, fighting for right and the courage we have. As soon as I start thinking I thought of many thing. The felling of brave, tears, and courage. I type it to the blog, and told my friend to read it for me. It came out pretty good.

character profile

Alice Paul is one of the many women that helped for the women's suffrage. During the winter of 1917, she and her fellow friends and other women stood silently at the gates, in front of the white house. Alice is holding a sign that said "Mr. President, how long must women wait for liberty?"
The suffragists were ignore but became more pointed, when the United States entered World War I on April 6, 1917. They yelled at Wilson, saying that he is pretending to be someone else. Alice and her fellows continue to accuse President Wilson, and he became very embarrassing. The police came to the white house instead of protecting them, but arresting the suffragists on charges of obstructing traffic. But that didn't stop the suffragists from fighting for their rights; many women were sentenced to jail terms. Things are out of control, so the police arrested Alice, and was sent to the prison for 7 months. She stayed in the prison, but got nothing to eat but bread and water. She got so weak that she was sent to the prison hospital. The doctor threaded her to transfer an insane secure retreat, but she refuse. The doctor's afraid that she's going to die, so the doctors forced a tube down her throat and poured liquids into her stomach. During her time in the prison, fight for women's suffrage had been going on for almost 70 years. After 5 weeks in prison, Alice Paul was set free. After Alice was set free from prison, newspaper article printed the jail terms and forced feedings of the suffragists. Many American were really mad after they read the story, and created more support for the suffrage amendment. On January 9, 1918, Wilson finally decides to support for suffrage. The House of Representatives Anthony Amendment, which would give suffrage to all women citizens. On June 4, 1919, the Senate passed the Amendment by one vote. After that, they made the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution about women's right.

*Died July 9, 1977
