October 23

"The fact is women are in chains, and
their servitude is all the more debasing
because they do not realize it."
~Susan B. Anthony
"There will never be a new world order
until women are a part of it."
~Alice Paul

THE FIRST NATIONAL WOMEN"S RIGHTS
CONVENTION OF 1850; took place October

23-24. In Worcester, Massachusetts women
came together to"...secure...political, legal, and
social equality with man." Women persented
resolutions, made speeches, debated, heard
letters from advocates unable to attend AND
they insured annual national meetings.

25,000- 33,000 women marched in New York
City demanding the right to vote this day in
1915.

Women must demand Equal Rights. We are not protected, and our Human Rights are abused. American women are not protected under the Constitution. And being respected as a fellow human being is a Right ,and has nothing to do with a man opening a door for a woman
