Blog #9

I have chose to do my research paper on Women's Rights. I find this to be very interesting yet it makes me mad at the same time. The right for women to vote is a very important time in history. When our ancestors fought so hard to win women the right to vote it was not an easy task. But because of their dedication and determination they prevailed.

I will be using several articles from the internet to prepare this essay. I will also resort back to some of the information that I received when I attended a Women's Gender Study class at OU. I wish I could find a female who was around in the latter part of that battle so I could interview her myself. My mother was born in 1949 and I am not sure what she might have went through. I will compare posters of decades ago to those of today.

Some of the problems that I foresee is trying to find a woman who I can interview. I know there are some women who was around in the days when abortion was illegal. I am not sure when women was actually able to fight in war. I know they could be a nurse or work in factories that supplied the men who were in combat. It is this information that I hope I can find.
