This document summarizes a presentation on why women committed infanticide in 19th century America. It provides historical context for the practice of infanticide, noting it was common worldwide and in early American colonies. The Industrial Revolution and westward expansion contributed to the rise in infanticide cases in the 19th century as unmarried, poor women struggled with limited options and mobility. While publicly condemned, the acts were often understood privately as the fault of predatory men driving desperate women to such extremes.

The evil of the age
This document is about infanticide committed by women in 19th century America. It discusses how infanticide has occurred throughout history in places like ancient Greece and Rome. During the 19th century, factors like the Industrial Revolution and westward expansion contributed to cases of infanticide among unmarried working class women and immigrants who felt they lacked other options. The public typically viewed the women as victims rather than monsters, while infanticide was more often practiced by unmarried women than married women, and was driven by social status issues.
Women in Public Life
By the late 19th century, most women had to work outside the home for wages due to financial necessity. Women worked as farm laborers, in factories, and in other emerging jobs in offices and schools. As more women entered the workforce and received education, they began advocating for reforms related to issues like temperance, child labor, and suffrage. Groups like the National Association of Colored Women and the National Women Suffrage Association were formed to promote women's rights and social reforms. The suffrage movement in particular employed a three-pronged strategy of lobbying state legislatures, pursuing legal challenges, and advocating for a constitutional amendment to secure women's right to vote nationally.
Shulamith firestone
Shulamith Firestone was a Canadian-American radical feminist and writer. She attended Washington University and the Art Institute of Chicago. In 1967, she helped found New York Radical Feminists. As a futurist, Firestone proposed using science and technology to eliminate biological differences between men and women by changing reproductive biology. In her influential book The Dialectic of Sex, she argued that female oppression originated from traditional childbearing roles and advocated a reproductive revolution using artificial wombs and other technologies.

Southern women differed in their roles from the North, with wealthy women focused on child-rearing and middle-class women more involved in agriculture. The South strongly defended slavery against the growing abolition movement using religious, scientific, and political arguments to justify the institution.

The document summarizes the history of the suffrage movement in the United States from the 1870s to the 1920s. It describes the split in the movement in 1869 and the founding of two major organizations. It then discusses the slow progress for women's suffrage between 1870-1900, with a few state victories. Around 1900-1910, the movement gained new momentum but also transformed as new younger leaders emerged. Key figures and tactics are discussed. The movement continued gaining victories in states leading up to U.S. women gaining the right to vote with the 19th amendment in 1920. The summary briefly touches on international women's suffrage movements and early 20th century feminism in the U.S.
Civilrightsmovement
The Black Power movement of the 1960s marked a turning point in race relations and sought both positive and militant goals. While some saw it as helping achieve black equality, others viewed it as more violent and aiming to distinguish blacks from whites. The movement reflected the complex transformation of society and culture in the United States during that time period.
Abolitionist
Abolitionism in America started in the 1830s when William Lloyd Garrison, Arthur Tappan, and Lewis Tappan came together to end slavery in America. They united many people across racial lines in anti-slavery societies, with over 1,350 societies and 250,000 members by 1838. Abolitionists used strategies like publications like The Liberator, the Underground Railroad, and speeches to spread their message and impact slavery, government, the economy, and public opinion. Their efforts helped lead to the end of slavery and continued to influence racial equality for generations.
Slide deck
This document discusses the impact of social media on social justice movements. It argues that social media has helped ignite rises in social justice by globalizing awareness and giving people power to influence politicians. Social media allows information to spread widely and quickly, meaning minor scandals can seriously impact leaders and forcing them to conform to shifting public attitudes. Once isolated injustices now receive worldwide attention through social media, applying greater pressure to solve problems. The combination of widespread social media mentions and poor corporate responses have cost companies billions in damages. By holding leaders accountable and spreading information, social media is changing societies and helping push for greater human rights and equality.
What Is Migration And Why Do People Move
The document discusses different types of migration including internal migration within a country, international migration between countries, rural-to-urban migration, emigration leaving one's home country, and immigration moving to a new country. It defines key migration terms and explores reasons people migrate such as push factors like lack of opportunities in their home country and pull factors attracting them to new locations like perceived better economic opportunities.

University of puget sound case study
The University of Puget Sound was founded in 1888. A tradition began in 1908 when students unearthed a hatchet from a barn being torn down on campus. Each graduating class would carve their year on the hatchet, which was passed between classes in a friendly competition for possession. Over time, the hatchet exchanges grew dangerous and were banned in 1965. The hatchet has disappeared and reappeared on campus many times over the decades. It was last placed on permanent display in 1998 after being anonymously mailed back to the university from Florida. The university is now celebrating its 125th anniversary as an institution of higher education in the Pacific Northwest.

White Women Listen
This document summarizes a presentation about the article "White Women Listen! Black Feminism and the Boundaries of Sisterhood" by Hazel V. Carby. It discusses how feminist theory has largely been developed from the perspectives and experiences of white women, failing to consider the different backgrounds and forms of oppression faced by black women. Specifically, it notes how concepts around family, patriarchy, and reproduction analyzed in feminist theory do not align with the histories and realities of black women. The presentation calls for white feminists to fundamentally rework feminist frameworks to fully incorporate the perspectives of black women.

This document provides a 3-page summary of a student's SBA on methods of resistance used by enslaved women in the British West Indies during the 18th century. It includes chapters on non-insurrectionary resistance through practices like prolonged breastfeeding and infanticide, insurrectionary methods like poisoning, and economic resistance through small businesses. The introduction establishes the context of slavery in the Caribbean and defines different forms of resistance. Overall, the document analyzes how enslaved women actively resisted the institution of slavery through various tactics to gain more autonomy and freedom.
Lecture11 12
The document discusses how Enlightenment ideas led to both more inclusive views of humanity as well as the development of scientific racism. While the Enlightenment emphasized common humanity and reason, the growing focus on science and classification resulted in people attempting to categorize races in a hierarchy. This included views of some that portrayed Europeans as the pinnacle of civilization and progress compared to other so-called "darker" races. However, Enlightenment ideas also encouraged concepts like individual rights and rejection of religious persecution that could be inclusive of more groups.
Victorian england flatland
This document discusses the portrayal and treatment of women in Victorian England and the pseudoscience used to justify gender inequality. It notes that women were largely confined to the domestic sphere and had few rights. Pseudoscientific theories by thinkers like Herbert Spencer and Franz Joseph Gall were used to argue women were intellectually and biologically inferior to men. Phrenology and theories of acquired characteristics were cited in literature to demonstrate female traits. Overall, pseudoscience was employed to rationalize the subordinate status of women during this era.
Caribbean History SBA
The document discusses the emancipation of slavery in the British West Indies. It describes the various pressure groups and humanitarians/abolitionists that advocated for the abolition of slavery, including Quakers, the Clapham Sect, non-conformist missionaries, and prominent individuals like Granville Sharp and William Wilberforce. It also examines the arguments used to both support and oppose slavery. The document then outlines the key events of the abolition movement from 1769 to 1832, including important court cases, the formation of abolitionist societies, slave rebellions in the Caribbean, and the passage of acts gradually restricting and eventually abolishing slavery.
edited
The document discusses how women's roles have changed significantly since the 19th century. In the 19th century, women had no legal rights and were seen as property under male authority. The women's rights movement began fighting for economic, political, and social equality. A major milestone was women gaining the right to vote in 1920. Women also began serving in the military during WWII and pursuing higher education. While progress has been made, women still face challenges in achieving full equality.
Talkin’ sex
The document discusses a 1983 project that interviewed 17 Mexican and Chicana women about their experiences with sexuality, pleasure, and discussing sex. It covered tensions in talking about sex, contradictions between acquiescence and contesting social norms, and the language and body language used. The project also discussed how Mexican culture was critiqued by feminists for repressing women's sexuality through concepts like the Virgin-Mary dichotomy and the Catholic Church's role in marriage. It provided interesting facts from the interviews like differences in age of first intercourse, views of sexuality education, and sanctions for sexual experimentation.

This document discusses the history and evolution of feminism through three waves. The first wave in the late 19th/early 20th century focused on legal rights like voting and property ownership. The second wave in the 1960s-70s aimed to radically change society and culture by critiquing patriarchal systems. Second wave feminists believed gender was socially constructed. The third wave from the 1990s addressed limitations of previous waves by recognizing diversity among women. Art history has also evolved, from ignoring or objectifying women, to critiquing the "male gaze" and elevating women artists.
The Intimately Oppressed
The document discusses the oppression of women throughout American history. It describes how women were viewed as inferior and subjected to strict rules determined by men. During periods of societal instability like wars or economic changes, women's roles became more important and they experienced slightly more equality. In the late 1800s, as more women joined the industrial workforce, feminist protests began against the mistreatment and limited rights of women. The growth of female education also helped propel the feminist movement by giving women power and confidence to advocate for their rights.
