While researching for my groups topic about Women, I learned a lot about women suffrage and how it affected women all throughout the 1900's. Some important key figures were Lucy Stone, Susan B. Anthony, and Alice Paul. All of these women suffered, however, they all helped create several women suffrage groups so help others who were suffering as well. There were several factors that went into women suffrage but a key topic was commissions. Women earned 30-60 % less than men when they worked, even for the same job. I thought this was unfair and that the women shouldn't be denied money if they earned it. Another key topic is sex discrimination, which is a key factor in commissions. Women couldn't teach school if they were married because they had to take care of their husbands and children. I didn't really research too much on other key ideas outside of suffrage, sex discrimination, and commissions but I understand there is a lot more that connects to women back in that time period.
