Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 3 page overview of the activities of some of the women active between 1890 and 1990, particularly as they were affected by race, class and gender. Many insist on viewing the “women’s movement” as a phenomenon of the 1960s and early 1970s, as if until that time, no woman had had a thought of the notion of equality of the sexes. There was a difference of attitude then that had not been overwhelmingly evident in the past, to be sure. Seeking to accomplish the same ends, Jane Addams sought to work within the confines that existed in the late 19th century. In contrast, Betty Friedan sought to eliminate the confines that existed in the 1960s. In the years between, Nella Larsen, Ruby Bates, Victoria Price and Yoshiko Uchida also contributed to the attitudes that existed in the 1960s. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

a difference in attitude toward the society that existed at the time that each of these women were actively making lasting changes, though their goals can be seen as being
quite similar. "Working with the System" Far from ever legitimately being described as shrinking or quiet, Jane Addams (1860-1935) epitomizes the 19th century
woman with social conscience and intense intrinsic motivation to make a difference in the world. She was unusual in that she attended college; she was "socially acceptable" in the
fact that she quietly went into Rockford Female Seminary in Illinois in 1881 rather than make any public scenes about the segregation of men and women in education. Her
attempt to attend Womans Medical College in Pennsylvania further supports the notion that there were areas of society in which Jane Addams quietly accepted the status quo and chose to
work within the system rather than against it. Providing a Highlighter Nella Larsen (1893-1964) was a woman of color, but did not share
the origins of the "typical" women of color in the early years of 20th century America. The daughter of "a Danish-born mother and a West Indies-born father" (Nella Larsen,
