Girl Scouts has had an inclusive history since its inception in 1912, including founding the first African American Girl Scout troop in 1917. For Black History Month, Girl Scouts celebrates influential African American women leaders who have inspired courage and leadership, such as civil rights activist Marian Wright Edelman, anti-lynching journalist Ida B. Wells-Barnett, international advocate for women's and children's rights Graça Machel, and civil rights leader Coretta Scott King. These women, along with tennis star Serena Williams and Underground Railroad conductor Harriet Tubman, exemplify the organization's focus on empowering all girls regardless of their background.

Women’s suffrage movement
The Women's Suffrage Movement began in 1848 at a tea party where Elizabeth Cady Stanton expressed her discontent with the fact that voting rights were limited only to white male property owners. This led to the first Women's Rights Convention being held in Seneca Falls, New York that same year. The movement faced significant backlash from newspapers and critics who felt women should not have the right to vote. Key figures like Susan B. Anthony and Sojourner Truth campaigned tirelessly over decades to raise awareness and support for women's suffrage, culminating in the passage and ratification of the 19th amendment in 1920, which guaranteed all American women the right to vote.
Will the glass ceiling ever be cracked
The document compares and contrasts the Women's Suffrage movement and the Black Lives Matter movement. It discusses how both movements fought for equal rights, with Women's Suffrage gaining women the right to vote in the late 19th/early 20th century and Black Lives Matter forming in response to police killings of black people. The document explores if progress has been made since these movements and questions if the "glass ceiling" will ever be fully cracked when it comes to racial and gender inequalities.
The Suffragists
The Suffragists were a pressure group formed in 1897 called the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS) led by Millicent Fawcett. They used peaceful protest methods like petitions, newspaper publications, and large processions to campaign for women's right to vote. Their membership grew from 13,000 in 1909 to over 100,000 by 1913 as they worked to gain support from politicians and political parties. While they had some successes in raising awareness, their peaceful tactics proved insufficient to change the law, and women did not gain the right to vote until after World War I.
Women's Suffrage
The American Woman Suffrage Movement spanned from 1848 to 1920 and sought to expand voting rights to women. It began at the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 where women and men demanded equality and the right for women to vote. Over the following decades, suffragists advocated state-by-state for women's suffrage and pushed for a constitutional amendment, facing opposition from those who felt women were too emotional or fragile. By the early 1900s, more women were joining the cause. After suffragists engaged in more militant tactics, the 19th Amendment was passed in 1920, guaranteeing all American citizens the right to vote regardless of sex.

The document discusses the history and goals of feminism. It notes that during the 19th century, women began demanding rights like the right to vote and participate in lawmaking. It emphasizes that feminism is about equality between genders, not competition or hatred against men. The poster references Rosie the Riveter, the iconic image from World War II symbolizing women joining the workforce during the war. It concludes by stating that feminism deserves respect and that ultimately both genders are equal underneath.
Women and the vote - timeline of changes
Women in Britain were excluded from national politics until 1918 and could not vote or stand for election. Starting in the early 1800s, several petitions and campaign groups were formed to advocate for women's suffrage. In the early 1900s, suffragette protests grew more prominent, including marches. Some women gained limited local voting rights in the late 1800s. Several bills attempting to grant women the right to vote nationally failed prior to World War 1. After the war ended in 1918, some women over 30 who owned property or were married to an owner gained the right to vote, which was expanded to all women over 21 in 1928. Women were then also allowed to stand for election with the first female MPs elected in 1918.
The British Suffragettes
In the late 19th century, the suffragette movement began in Britain to advocate for women's right to vote. Led by Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters, the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) used increasingly militant tactics like vandalism and hunger strikes to gain attention for their cause after peaceful methods failed. Their actions raised public awareness of the movement, though some suffragettes like Emily Davidson gave their lives. By the time World War I began, public and political support had grown, and women were finally granted the right to vote in Britain in 1918.
Representations
On August 26, 1970, Betty Friedan led tens of thousands of women in a march down Fifth Avenue in New York City to mark the 50th anniversary of the 19th Amendment. The event, called the Women's Strike for Equality, protested unequal pay and called on women to withhold their labor for a day. Organizers also asked housewives to refuse domestic work. Gloria Steinem and other speakers addressed the crowd about continuing divisions among women and the need to make the feminist movement more inclusive of women of color.

The document discusses the history and goals of feminism through three waves. The first wave from the 1800s focused on suffrage and gained women the right to vote in 1920. The second wave in the 1960s addressed inequality, especially in the workplace, through movements like NOW and passage of laws like the Equal Pay Act of 1963. The third wave began in the 1990s and centered on issues like gender violence, reproductive rights, and unequal treatment. Each wave has contributed to both progress for women's rights and changing social connotations of feminism.

The Women’s Suffrage Movement
The women's suffrage movement fought for over 70 years for women's right to vote. The movement began at the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 where the Declaration of Rights and Sentiments called for equal rights and participation for women. Throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, suffragists held large protests and parades demanding voting rights. Some suffragists were arrested and subjected to abuse while picketing the White House. By 1920, the 19th amendment was ratified, guaranteeing women the right to vote across the United States.
Suffragettes
The document summarizes the history of the feminist movement through its three waves. The first wave from the 18th to early 20th century fought for women's right to vote. The second wave from the 1960s to 1980s battled for social, cultural, and gender equality. The third wave from the 1990s to today responds to the failures of previous waves and campaigns for greater women's political influence. It then focuses on the Suffragettes movement in the UK led by Emmeline Pankhurst that used militant tactics like vandalism and hunger strikes to fight for women's suffrage, or right to vote.
Era of the Great War - women's suffrage campaigns
There were two main groups campaigning for women's suffrage in the UK before 1918: the Suffragists and the Suffragettes. The Suffragists used peaceful methods like marches, petitions, and lobbying MPs while the Suffragettes engaged in more violent direct actions like arson, bombing, and hunger strikes to force the issue. Both groups suspended campaigning during WWI but the Suffragettes' militant tactics generated more publicity and debate even as it lost them some support. In 1918 and 1928 acts were passed granting some women and then all women over 21 the right to vote.
Civil rights
Women played a crucial but overlooked role in the Civil Rights Movement. Historians have tended to focus on prominent male leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. while neglecting the contributions of women. However, women formed the backbone of the movement, organizing key protests and providing leadership. Figures like Rosa Parks, Fannie Lou Hamer, Ella Baker, Diane Nash, and Pauli Murray all made significant contributions, though they often faced resistance from patriarchal and gender-conservative elements within the movement. New interpretations are bringing greater attention to the vital role played by women in shaping the Civil Rights Movement.
Women s suffrage (1)
The women's suffrage movement in the United States split into two factions in the 1890s over support for the 14th Amendment. The movement eventually reunified under the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) in the early 20th century. African American women joined the movement led by white women to ensure white suffragists would not win the right to vote and deny it to black women. The movement had both mainstream and more radical factions. Radicals like Alice Paul formed the National Women's Party and used tactics like picketing the White House to apply pressure, while mainstream leaders argued women should support the war effort in World War I in exchange for the vote after.

The women's suffrage movement in UK
The document discusses the suffrage movement in Great Britain. While women paid taxes, they did not have the right to vote. Some argued that even prisoners and "lunatics" could vote, so why not women? However, many opposed women's suffrage, viewing women as too emotional for politics. Early campaigners called suffragists used peaceful tactics, but faced opposition from political parties. This frustration led to more radical suffragettes, who used violence and vandalism. Though some bills were proposed, none passed. Suffragettes escalated their campaign with bombs and arson, leading to arrests. Hunger strikes in prison won sympathy. World War I suspended campaigns, but awareness was raised, hastening women's
US History Ch 15.2
Between 1840-1860, over 4 million immigrants settled in the US, mostly Irish and German fleeing economic hardship and famine. They arrived poor and took low-skilled jobs. Nativists opposed immigration, fearing job losses. The Know-Nothing Party wanted to exclude Catholics and foreigners from office. As industry grew, cities attracted more immigrants to fill jobs, straining infrastructure and leading to overcrowded and unsanitary living conditions.
Women and the vote - The Suffragettes
The Suffragettes were a women's rights group formed in 1903 led by Emmeline Pankhurst that used militant tactics like arson and bombing to campaign for women's right to vote. Their violent actions gained significant publicity and put pressure on the government. When Suffragettes were imprisoned, they went on hunger strikes which led to forced feedings, generating more sympathy for their cause. However, their violent tactics also alienated some supporters and politicians they needed to pass reforms.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Alice Stone Blackwell, and Lucy Stone were early leaders in the fight for women's suffrage in the United States. Women who protested for the right to vote, known as suffragists, were arrested and imprisoned, where some went on hunger strikes and were forcibly fed. It was not until 1920 with the passage of the 19th amendment that women were granted the right to vote in the United States, after over half a century of activism and protest by courageous women suffragists.

The cartoonist opposes woman suffrage. The cartoon portrays a frustrated husband coming home to find his wife has been out campaigning for suffrage instead of having dinner ready. His cuffs say "liquor interests" implying the liquor industry is fueling opposition. The cartoon suggests allowing women to vote would threaten liquor sales by empowering the temperance movement. By portraying suffrage as taking women away from their domestic duties and implying it benefits the liquor industry, the cartoon aims to turn public opinion against the suffrage movement.

Waves of feminism
The first wave of feminism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries focused on gaining basic legal rights for women like suffrage, property rights, and custody rights. It helped establish organizations that continued the fight for women's rights but was largely led by white women and excluded the perspectives of black women and other women of color. The successes of the first wave set the stage for the broader second wave from the 1960s-1980s that aimed to eliminate gender-based discrimination and challenges social and cultural attitudes towards women.

McDuffie-Sojourners Article, RHR, Spring 2008
1) In 1951, the Sojourners for Truth and Justice, a newly formed organization of African American women, protested at the Department of Justice in Washington D.C. to demand an end to racial injustice and lynching of black men.
2) The Sojourners advocated for civil rights and civil liberties. They supported people persecuted for their left-wing affiliations and those who spoke out against racism, colonialism, and the Cold War.
3) The Sojourners promoted a "black left feminism" that centered the experiences of working-class black women and addressed the intersectional oppression they faced through a combination of Communism, black nationalism, and radical feminism.

World Women Leaders, 2nd Period Guyer
Women have made significant progress in gaining leadership roles over the past centuries.

Since then, women like Emmeline Pankhurst, Hillary Clinton, Rosa Parks, Benazir Bhutto, and Margaret Chase Smith have broken barriers as leaders in politics, civil rights, and government. They have expanded opportunities for women and shown that women can excel at the highest levels.

From Concept to reality : Implementing Lean Managements DMAIC Methodology for...
The Ready-Made Garments (RMG) industry in Bangladesh is a cornerstone of the economy, but increasing costs and stagnant productivity pose significant challenges to profitability. This study explores the implementation of Lean Management in the Sampling Section of RMG factories to enhance productivity. Drawing from a comprehensive literature review, theoretical framework, and action research methodology, the study identifies key areas for improvement and proposes solutions.
Through the DMAIC approach (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), the research identifies low productivity as the primary problem in the Sampling Section, with a PPH (Productivity per head) of only 4.0. Using Lean Management techniques such as 5S, Standardized work, PDCA/Kaizen, KANBAN, and Quick Changeover, the study addresses issues such as pre and post Quick Changeover (QCO) time, improper line balancing, and sudden plan changes.
The research employs regression analysis to test hypotheses, revealing a significant correlation between reducing QCO time and increasing productivity. With a regression equation of Y = -0.000501X + 6.72 and an R-squared value of 0.98, the study demonstrates a strong relationship between the independent variables (QCO downtime and improper line balancing downtime) and the dependent variable (productivity per head).
The findings suggest that by implementing Lean Management practices and addressing key productivity inhibitors, RMG factories can achieve substantial improvements in efficiency and profitability. The study provides valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance productivity in the RMG industry and similar manufacturing sectors.

country. Along with state-owned banks, private banks play a critical role in the country's economy.
Managers in all types of banks now confront the same challenge: how to get the utmost output from
their employees. Therefore, Performance appraisal appears to be inevitable since it set the
standard for comparing actual performance to established objectives and recommending practical
solutions that help the organization achieve sustainable growth. Therefore, the purpose of this
research is to determine the effect of performance appraisal on employee motivation and retention.

Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.

Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts Celebrates 2017 Black History Month
- 1. Girl Scouts has a long history of being inclusive and serving as a platform for all girls’ voices, regardless of their background. So, it’s not surprising that the first African American Girl Scout troop was founded in 1917—just five years after our inception. This February, in honor of Black History Month, join us as we celebrate all girls as well as historical G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk- taker, Leader)™ hard-hitters who inspired true leadership and courage.
- 2. Girl Scouts has been an inclusive organization from its inception and, at the height of the Civil Rights Movement, the organization was recognized for its contribution to social good.
- 3. Marian Wright Edelman—a renowned activist who has been leading the fight for children’s rights for more than 40 years and was the first African American woman admitted to the Mississippi bar.
- 4. Ida B. Wells-Barnett was one of the country’s most influential African American journalist, newspaper editor, and leader for women’s suffrage. Her work documenting lynching in the United States brought the horrific crime into the public dialogue, fueling anti-lynching efforts.
- 5. Politician and humanitarian Graça Machel is an international leader and advocate for women’s and children’s rights. She is the widow of former South African President Nelson Mandela and former Mozambican President Samora Machel, making her the only woman to have served as first lady of two distinct republics.
- 6. American author and activist Coretta Scott King, alongside her husband, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., helped lead the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. After her husband’s tragic death, she took the reins and continued to lead the fight for racial and gender equality. Her actions effectively played a prominent role in civil rights legislation.
- 7. Serena Williams’ go-getting attitude and success in professional tennis has led some commentators, players, and sports writers to regard her as the greatest female tennis player of all time—she has been ranked first in the Women’s Tennis Association seven times and was listed as the highest paid female athlete in 2016. Today she continues to be a role model and inspiration for girls everywhere.
- 8. Harriet Tubman risked her own life to lead other slaves to freedom through her famous Underground Railroad—it is estimated she helped as many as 300 slaves escape. Her heroic actions made her a wanted woman with the price on her head reaching $40,000. She later went on to work as a nurse and a spy for the Union Army during the Civil War. In 1973, Harriet Tubman was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame, and just last year, it was announced that she will be replacing Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill.
