USA: "Declaration of Sentiment".

n 1848, n localitatea
Seneca Falls din statul New York, Elizabeth Cady
Stanton i Lucretia Mott au organizat o conferin pe a
crei ordine de zi s-a aflat pentru prima dat
discriminarea femeilor. Majoritatea femeilor de la acea
ntrunire se implicaser deja mai nainte n micarea
pentru drepturile negrilor. Micarea anti-sclavagist a
ascuit contiina femeilor care i-au dat seama acum c
i ele erau discriminate. Adeptele micrii pentru
drepturile femeii cereau, printre altele:
1. dreptul de a dispune de proprietatea i
veniturile proprii,
2. dreptul de a primi custodia copiilor n
cazul unui divor,
3. posibiliti mai extinse de a li se aproba
divorul,
4. drepturi legale i economice mai bune
pentru femeile divorate,
5. acces sporit la educaie i la activiti
profesionale
6. dreptul de vot.
Cu toate c att declaraia ct i
autoarele ei au avut de ndurat n cele ce
au urmat remarci sarcastice i
interpretri nedrepte, acest moment
constituie nceputul micrii feministe
din SUA, care a intrat n lupta pentru
impunerea drepturilor femeii mult mai
devreme dect cele de pe continentul
european i care a deinut cu siguran o
funcie exemplar.

"Declaration of Sentiment" se sprijinea la fel ca
"Declaraia drepturilor femeii i ale cetencei" a lui De
Gouges pe Declaraia de Independen de la 1776.
Aceast declaraie era ndreptat mpotriva dominaiei
brbailor din toate domeniile vieii. Acest text se baza
pe premisa c toi brbaii i femeia se nasc cu aceleai
drepturi asupra vieii, libertii i fericirii i c
garantarea acestor drepturi inalienabile ar trebui s
constituie singurul scop legitim al statului. Toate legile
care obligau femeile s adopte o poziie subordonat au
fost declarate ilegitime. n plus, au mai fost elaborate
doisprezece rezoluii n care se cereau drepturi egale
pentru femei n
context,privat,religios, economic i,politic
USA: "Declaration of Sentiment". In 1848, in the town
of Seneca Falls in New York State, Elizabeth Cady
Stanton and Lucretia Mott organized a conference in
which it was discussed for the first time the
discrimination against women. Most of the women in
the meeting had been already involved in the black
rights movement. Anti-slavery movement sharpened the
consciousness of women who have now realized that
they were also discriminated. Adepts of women's rights
movement demanded, among others:
1. The right to have property and income,
2. The right to receive custody of children
in case of divorce,
3. Extended possibilities of being approved
the divorce,
4. Legal and economic rights for divorced
women
5. Higher access to education and
professional activities
6. The right to vote.
Although both the declaration and the
authors of the statement had to endure
sarcastic remarks and unfair
interpretations, this moment represents
the beginning of the feminist movement
in the U.S.A, which entered in the battle
for women's rights much earlier than
those on the European continent and held
the exemplary function.

"Declaration of Sentiment" was based - as the
"Declaration of the Rights of Women and Female
Citizens" of De Gouges - on the Declaration of
Independence from 1776. This act was directed against
the domination of men from all areas of life. This text
was based on the assumption that all men and women
were born with the same rights to life, liberty and
happiness and that the insurance of those inalienable
rights should be the only legitimate purpose of the state.
All laws that forced women to take a subordinate
position had been declared illegitimate. In addition,
were drafted twelve resolutions which demanded equal
rights for women in private, religious, economic and
political context.



SUA: Micarea feminist s-a dezvoltat din micarea
anti-sclavagist (aboliionist), la care se raliase un
numr neobinuit de mare de femei. Aceste femei
trebuiau s-i apere revendicrile mai ales n faa
bisericii, dar i n cea a ideilor preconcepute formulate
de aboliionitii de sex masculin. Tipic pentru micarea
feminist din SUA este faptul c aici, femeile albe au
luptat alturi de suratele lor de culoare. Micarea
feminist s-a desprins de cea aboliionist atunci cnd
negrii au primit prin Constituie dreptul de vot. n
modificarea Constituiei a fost adugat cuvntul "male",
ceea ce excludea n mod clar participarea femeilor la
procesul electoral. nainte de acest eveniment, femeile
se bucurau de un oarecare drept de vot n statele
federaiei americane.
Schimbarea s-a produs ns tocmai din pricina
brbailor din Partidul Republican, pe de a cror
parte feministele luptaser pentru drepturile
negrilor. Micarea feminist pentru dreptul de
vot s-a organizat prin urmare n structuri proprii:
"National Woman Suffrage Association"
(NWSA) i "American Woman Suffrage
Association" (AWSA), organizaii care mai
trziu au fuzionat. n SUA, femeile au cptat
drept de vot deplin n anul 1920 la aproape
50 de ani de la cderea lor din drepturi prin
introducerea reformei constituionale mai sus
amintite.
Aceste cauze au generat in anii I960 Miscarea de
Eliberare a Femeilor in Statele Unite (Women's lib),
care apoi s-a extins si in Europa. Conceptia acestei
miscari a fost denumita in special cu termenul
"feminism". Atentia miscarii a fost concentrata asupra
egalitatii intre sexe in toate domeniile si a abordat unele
probleme mai putin discutate anterior ca violul,
hartuirea sexuala si avortul. Feministele au reusit
validarea mai multor legi favorabile mai ales pe
teritoriul drepturilor egale si al salarizarii. Aplicarea
in practica a acestor legi era deseori foarte anevoioasa,
chiar si atunci cand pentru executarea lor au fost create
corporatii executive si de control. In multe parti ale
lumii femeilor le lipsesc si cele mai elementare
drepturi, in multe locuri n-au nici dreptul de a-si alege
viitorul sot.


USA: The feminist movement grew from the anti-
slavery movement (abolitionist), which had gathered an
unusually large number of women. These women had to
defend their claims especially in front of the church, but
also in front of the preconceived ideas brought by male
abolitionists. Typical for the feminist movement in the
U.S. was that there white women fought alongside their
counterparts of color. Feminist movement split from the
abolitionist when blacks were given the constitutional
right to vote. In the constitutional amendment was
added the word "male", which clearly excluded the
participation of women in the electoral process. Before
this event, the women enjoyed the right to vote in some
states of the American Federation.

The change came, however, because of the men
of the Republican Party, on whose part feminists
fought for the rights of blacks. The Feminist
movement for the right to vote was held
therefore in their own structures, "National
Woman Suffrage Association" (NWSA) and
"American Woman Suffrage Association"
(AWSA). In the U.S., women have gained full
voting rights in 1920 - almost 50 years after the
fall of their rights by introducing constitutional
reform mentioned above.

These causes have generated in the 60 Women's
Liberation Movement in the United States (Women's
lib), which then spread to Europe. The concept of this
movement was called especially with the term
"feminism". The attention was focused on the
movement of gender equality in all areas and has
addressed some issues less discussed before as: rape,
sexual harassment and abortion. Feminists have
succeeded in validating more favorable laws especially
on the territory of equal rights and payment. The
practical application of these laws was often very
difficult, even when for their execution were created
executive and control corporations. In many parts of the
world women were missing the most basic rights, in
many places they had no right to choose their future
husband.
