Women's Rights and Propaganda

            In the late 1800s, the way American society treated women is very different than how they treat women today. Women were not considered full citizens, and they could not take part in many things that men could. They could not have any role in politics, and everything they did was under the control of their husband. More importantly, women's voting rights were nonexistent. Many women felt so strongly on the topic of not being able to vote that they began forming groups to get voting rights; they were known as suffragettes. Suffragettes upset the public by trying to convince more and more people to be on their side of the issue. As a result, the "anti-suffragists" created propaganda to prevent the public from taking the suffragette side. The propaganda affected both anti-suffragists and suffragists emotionally and physically. After seeing the propaganda, many people had switched their opinions on how they felt towards the issue. However, women worked very hard and used many tactics in order to ensure that they get their rights. .
             Society's feelings towards women were so negative that women weren't even considered a whole citizen. Their lack of voting rights was present for many reasons. Society had created a stereotype regarding gender roles. The public assumed that all women should remain at their home all day in order to cook, clean and wash clothes. It was said that many people thought women should not be interfering in real society with work or politics. People thought that if women only spent time in the house, they have little or zero knowledge of the legitimacy of politics. There was a theory men had made that stated bad women would corrupt politics, and bad politics would corrupt women. This statement was men's way of saying that women couldn't handle life outside of their housework and chores. The part about bad women corrupting politics meant that women's education was not considered high enough nor did it meet the public's level of standards to vote.
