The Suffragettes wanted the right for women to vote. \n\nThe move for women to have the vote had really started in 1897 when Millicent Fawcett founded the National Union of Women's Suffrage. "Suffrage" means the right to vote and that is what women wanted - hence its inclusion in Fawcett's title.\n\nMillicent Fawcett believed in peaceful protest.

I'm not sure what you mean by development. You didn't say in what field. If you mean women's emancipation from the home to the work force, there are a lot of things to be considered. Women are now attending colleges and universities in ever increasing numbers. They have invaded every profession with great success, from sports to medicine to archeology and engineering. In the field of politics women are beginning to have a voice to be reckoned with, as they always did, only they are no longer standing behind a man, but rather leading the way. I could go on and on here but without a peg to hang my hat on, so to speak, I'll stop right here. Hope this helps you in some way.

The US used prictures of women working on things like iron, chefs, nurses and such to try to get women to help out. Im not so sure about the Soviet Union though. Ask me about propaganda about the Cold WAr... i know more about that.

World War 2 emancipated women in the United States.  Because of the shortage of men, women went to work.  They built the planes for the war and other critical armaments.  They started baseball teams.\n\nThe cntributions of women to the war effort often goes unacknowledgd, but without their contributions, I am sure we would have lost the war.\n\nOnce the war ended, the women no longer felt that the old adage "barefoot and pregnant" was the way they wanted to live their lives.  Many stayed at work.  Others got fired when the men returned, but they refused to go back to the kitchen, and found a new job for themselves.

As a general rule, women don't tend to feel the need for power like men do. I would welcome more women in politics. I noticed you mentioned the Bible here. There are a few good books that were edited out of the King James version, the most notable being the Gospel of Mary. Again, it was a male power issue. Mary was the disciple Jesus loved best of all. After the departure of Jesus, within the text, in Mary has been placed the authority of the church. That was unacceptable to the alpha-male dominated church. \n\nIt wasn't until 1920 that women even got the right to vote with AMENDMENT XIX to the Constitution. That gave them 150 years of male dominated government to overcome. It wasn't until the 1990s that the got the right to fight to defend their country.\n\nAfter being repressed for so many years, women need to rise up and fight. But keep in mind, issues are more important than party or sex, at least to most THINKING people.\n\nJust as an aside: There was a story on Good Morning America this morning about the first female Blue Angel pilot. They said they chose her based on her ability and not her sex. This bodes well...

The struggle for women's suffrage in America began in the 1820s with the writings of Fanny Wright. In her book, Course of Popular Lectures (1829) and in the Free Enquirer Wright not only advocated women being given the vote but the abolition of slavery, free secular education, birth control and more liberal divorce laws. \n\nIn 1893 women got the vote in Colorado, followed by Utah (1896), Idaho (1896), Washington (1910), California (1911), Arizona (1912), Kansas (1912), Oregon (1912), Illinois (1913), Nevada (1914) and Montana (1914). \n\nIn January, 1918, Woodrow Wilson announced that women's suffrage was urgently needed as a "war measure". The House of Representatives passed the federal woman suffrage amendment 274 to 136 but it was opposed in the Senate and was defeated in September 1918. Another attempt in February 1919 also ended in failure. \n\nIn May 1919 the House of Representatives again passed the amendment (304 to 89) and on 4th June 1919 the Senate finally gave in and passed it by 66 to 30. On 26th August 1920 the Nineteenth Amendment was certified by the Secretary of State, when Tennessee, the thirty-sixth and final state needed, signed for ratification.

This is a bit of a trick question, but the first women to compete were in Paris 1900 \n\nGames of the II Olympiad \n\nThe Games of 1900 were held in Paris as part of the Exposition Universelle Internationale - the Paris World’s Fair. The exposition organizers spread the events over five months and de-emphasized their Olympic status to such an extent that many athletes died without ever knowing that they had participated in the Olympics. Women made their first appearance in the modern Games. The first to compete were Mme. Brohy and Mlle. Ohnier of France in croquet. The first female champion was in tennis: Charlotte Cooper of Great Britain. Tennis was one of five sports in which athletes from different nations competed on the same team. The others were football, polo, rowing and tug of war. Alvin Kraenzlein won four athletics events in three days and, on 16 July, Ray Ewry, who had overcome childhood polio, won three championships in one day - all in the standing jump events.\n\n24 NOCs (Nations)\n\n997 athletes (22 women, 975 men)\n\n95 events

"The League of Women Voters was founded by Carrie Chapman Catt in 1920 during the convention of the National American Woman Suffrage Association. The convention was held just six months before the 19th amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, giving women the right to vote after a 57-year struggle."\n\nTaken from the source listed.

Giving women the right to vote universally in the United States brought a unity and parity to our society that up to that point had not been experienced. Those many detractors said the opposite would happen, women's suffrage did more uniting than separating.\n\nOne of the failures might be Prohibition which was driven by the Temperance Movement which of course was backed by women.\n\nStill, the right to vote should be universal and it is rather sad it took until the early 20th Century for America to, as a nation, come to that conclusion.

Here are a couple:\n\n1. Development of Canadian nationalism:\n\nDespite all of the people that Canada lost in the First World War, there were many battles in which Canadians fought valiantly. Canadians became known for their bravery and strength, and we began to see ourselves as a nation separate from Britain, capable of accomplishing our own goals. Specifically, you should look into the battle at Vimy Ridge and Ypres.\n\n2. The war caused women's roles to start to change. Look for facts about:\n\n-More Canadian women in the workforce.\n-The Canadian suffragist movement.\n\nPerhaps you might also want to say something about how the war was a pre-cursor to the Roaring Twenties in Canada, or how the war helped us to industrialize.
