Before WW1





Women did the housework
The only jobs they could get
were writing and teaching
Other than that they could
only be wives and mothers
They couldn’t have other
jobs because they were not
as ‘smart’ as men
With the jobs they were able
to have they got paid half
what a man would earn
Before WW1





The only thing a woman had a
right to was her own land
When she got married she
lost that right
The wife and children were
owned by the husband
The husband was aloud to
beat the wife and lock her up
If the husband died the wife
would be left with nothing if he
didn’t leave a will
Start of WW1


Soldiers went
to war and
left their jobs
Women took
their places
but got paid
less than the
men did
Start of WW1

The right to vote was
granted to women with
family in the war
During WW1



Women got the right to
vote because of their
support for the soldiers
Native women and
immigrants started to fight
for equal rights
1916 women in Manitoba
had the right to vote
During WW1






Some of the jobs women
took over were:
Working on public transit
and railways
Working in factories
Farming
Taxi drivers
And more
After WW1




Because of all the work
women did to help in the war
they got treated more equally
and they received more
respect
Women still had to do all the
housework
Oxford University started
excepting rich women, but
they still had to study in a
separate room from the men
There were 150 women
undergraduates during the
war
The
th
20
Century
Women’s rights greatly improved

Poetry Of Women’s Suffrage
By: Charlotte Perkins Gilman

FOR FEAR

For fear of prowling beasts at
night
They blocked the cave;
Women and children hid from
sight,
Men scarce more brave. For fear
of warrior's sword and spear
They barred the gate;
Women and children lived in fear,
Men lived in hate.
For fear of criminals today
We lock the door;
Women and children still to stay
Hid evermore.




Come out! The world approaches
peace,
War nears its end;
No warrior watches your release–
Only a friend.
Come out! The night of crime has
fled–
Day is begun;
Here is no criminal to dread–
Only your son.
The world, half yours, demands your
care,
Waken and come!
Make it a woman's world; safe, fair,
Garden and home.
Poetry Of Women’s Suffrage

THE HOUSEWIFE
Here is the House to hold me–cradle of
all the race;
Here is my lord and my love, here are my
children dear–
Here is the House enclosing, the dearloved dwelling place;
Why should I ever weary for aught that I
find not here? Here for the hours of the
day and the hours of the night;
Bound with the bands of Duty, rivetted
tight;
Duty older than Adam–Duty that saw
Acceptance utter and hopeless in the
eyes of the serving squaw.
Food and the serving of food–that is my
daylong care;
What and when we shall eat, what and
how we shall wear;



Soiling and cleaning of things–that is
my task in the main–
Soil them and clean them and soil
them–soil them and clean them again.
To work at my trade by the dozen and
never a trade to know;
To plan like a Chinese puzzle–fitting
and changing so;
To think of a thousand details, each in
a thousand ways;
For my own immediate people and a
possible love and praise.
My mind is trodden in circles, tiresome,
narrow and hard,
Useful, commonplace, private–simply
a small backyard;
And I the Mother of Nations!–Blind
their struggle and vain!
I cover the earth with my children–
each with a housewife's brain.
