California : Impact Of The Women's Movement In Relation To Political Participation
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Turn-of-the-century California politics has changed in many ways in comparison to contemporary politics, particularly with regard to the women's movement. Indeed, women's suffrage presented itself in quite fearless style as the country moved into the twentieth century, inasmuch as the women's movement had gained a significant amount of progressive power. The impact of such a movement was more than a bit alarming for those who did not believe women should maintain such important responsibilities as voting and political participation. Fast-forward to the twenty-first century, however, and one can readily argue that the women's movement of one hundred years ago set the stage for the overwhelming support and presence the California political system now maintains.
