Struggle For Equality post 1

Between African Americans and Women it has indeed been a struggle for equality. Especially when it came to the 15th amendment when an un-educated black man could vote before a well-educated woman. I think the Cult of True Womanhood by Barbra Nelter was not fair for women during that time because it describe what the modern women had to be like at that time. Why should the women have to be submissional; with the expectation that women need to be as passive responders submit to her husband for the sake of good order? Why is it just for women to be pure and if purity is lost, consequently could end in even death. Doing our worksheet in class that showed the women in late 1800's/early 1900's, 1920's women, 1950's women, 1960/70's women, and modern women really showed me how much we have evolved throughout the century and showed how hard we've work to earn not only the simple right to vote, but to be an equivalent to men.
