Topic: What was the result of the feminist movement/womens liberation movement of the
1960s-70s (maybe change this to the Womens Suffrage movement) and what role does it play on
womens rights throughout the world today? (global feminism) - Maybe relate it to early feminist
movements and how those have impacted movements throughout the world today - what has
changed what still needs to be changed

Thesis Statement:
How have early femisnst movements affected world feminism
What has changed what still needs to be changed
From the nineteenth century to present day, feminist ideology has moved from
securing the vote to more radical issues concerning reproductive rights and equal pay.
The womens suffrage movement of the nineteenth century served as a model for later
 feminist movements. However while the suffrage movement achieved major milestones
in history, how much did it really change the lives of women in the public and political
world?

Body Paragraph 1:
Talking about Womens Suffrage Movement
Topic Sentence: The Womens Suffrage Movement of the 19th century was one
of the first times masses of women were fighting for equality.
Could talk about different views on feminism back then
Focus on documents 4, 5, and 6
Need to break up into smaller paragraphs

Body Paragraph 2:
Talking about Feminist Movements after the Suffragettes - what has changed
because of the suffragettes, how has the ideology of feminists changed, what are they
fighting for now, what still needs to be changed
Topic Sentence: While the suffrage movement did cause some change in the lives
of women, women today still face inequalities concerning the workforce and their
reproductive rights.
Possibly talk about what feminism means and the different stances on it
Focus on documents 1, 2, 3
Need to break up into smaller paragraphs

Questions:
Narrowing Argument - to broad?
Maybe relate it specifically to women in the workforce?
Or compare and contrast more recent womens movements to the suffragettes
instead of the womens liberation movement? - fighting for voting rights and then equal
pay, education, reproductive rights, etc.
Need to focus on global feminism not just the U.S.
