Women faced significant inequality in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as they had no right to vote, own property if married, or work in many professions. The women's suffrage movement began to advocate for women's rights. During World War I, women took on more jobs as men went off to war, doing work like driving trucks and ambulances. This expanded women's roles and helped their cause. However, after the war ended, pre-war attitudes largely returned and women's employment levels decreased again as they were expected to return to domestic roles in the home.

Women In World War One
During World War 1, women took on many new roles to replace men who had gone off to fight. This included joining the Women's Land Army in Britain to maintain crops and livestock. Women were also encouraged to grow their own food. Additionally, many women worked in munitions factories, producing 80% of weapons and ammunition used in the war, though they were paid less than men. Working conditions in the factories were hazardous as women were not given protective equipment. Other roles women undertook were sewing uniforms, serving as nurses, and various jobs like working in trains and factories. They demonstrated their strength and dedication to supporting their countries' war efforts.
The impact of the war on women
Before the war, the most common
employment for a woman was as a
domestic servant. However, women
were also employed in what were
seen to be suitable occupations e.g.
teaching, nursing, office work.
Women in ww1
During World War 1, over 2 million women in Britain replaced men in the workforce as soldiers left for the front lines, occupying 35% of the workforce between Britain and France. Women took on new roles in factories, agriculture, construction, transport, and hospitals as well as industries like engineering, building ships and munitions. While doing jobs formerly held by men, women were not paid equal wages. However, their increased responsibility and independence in the workforce inspired women's suffrage movements and growing demands for equal rights and the right to vote.
Life During the Great Depression
The document summarizes life in the United States during the Great Depression. It describes how the stock market crash exacerbated economic issues farmers were facing. As a result, many lost their farms and became homeless. Soup kitchens and shantytowns known as "Hoovervilles" emerged to help the impoverished. Thousands migrated to California seeking work, escaping the Dust Bowl. Discrimination persisted during this time, though some laws were passed as part of the New Deal to provide relief and jobs to Americans struggling in the wake of the economic crisis.
WWI women
The war created new opportunities for women's employment outside the home as traditional male jobs became available due to labor shortages from conscription. While women faced resistance initially, by 1915 thousands worked in munitions factories and other industries. After the war, women were expected to return to traditional roles but had gained some independence, and their participation in the workforce helped pave the way for women's suffrage and rights in the early 20th century.
Women in World War II
During World War 2, women took on many jobs traditionally done by men such as factory work making bombs, serving as nurses, mechanics, farmers, and engineers. Over 3.5 million children were evacuated from cities and many women helped care for the evacuated children. Women also joined the Women's Land Army and Voluntary Service to help with farming and provide support to firefighters during bombings, though the work was difficult and conditions were poor. After the war, most women lost the jobs they had taken and returned to traditional roles.
Women at War - WWII
Women's traditional roles were upended during World War II as millions of men enlisted, leaving jobs vacant. Women were encouraged to enter the workforce to support the war effort, taking on jobs in factories, farms, and the military. Over 100,000 women joined the Women's Army Corps and 11,000 joined the WAVES to perform clerical and support roles. 68,000 women also served as nurses to care for wounded soldiers. While social norms tried to return women to the home after the war, their expanded work and military roles during the war represented a significant shift in gender roles internationally.
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.

Women's Suffrage
The American women's suffrage movement spanned from 1848 to 1920, beginning at the Seneca Falls Convention where the Declaration of Sentiments demanded equal rights for women, including the right to vote. While the 15th Amendment granted black men the vote in 1870, it disappointed many suffragists. Divisions emerged over strategies, but the movement reunited and pursued passing a constitutional amendment. Under leaders like Susan B. Anthony and Alice Paul, suffragists utilized various tactics, resulting in tensions. Their efforts succeeded when Tennessee ratified the 19th Amendment in 1920, granting women the right to vote nationwide.
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.
The french revolution
The French Revolution occurred from 1789 to 1799 and overthrew the French monarchy and feudal system. It established France as a republic and introduced principles of citizenship and inalienable rights. The revolution was caused by famine, rising debt, taxation, and failure of reforms under the monarchy. It involved the storming of the Bastille fortress in Paris, the establishment of a National Assembly, and the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen. The revolution eventually spiraled into the Reign of Terror led by Robespierre, with thousands executed by guillotine before his own fall from power. Napoleon later took control of France and established himself as emperor.

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.
French Revolution
The document provides background information on the causes and events of the French Revolution from 1789 to 1799. It discusses the long-term causes including the abuse of power by King Louis XVI, inequality between social classes, an unfair tax system, and Enlightenment ideas. The immediate causes included the Third Estate opposing unfair voting methods in the Estates General and demanding a constitution. Key events included the storming of the Bastille prison on July 14, 1789 marking the start of the revolution, the National Assembly declaring the rights of man, and the establishment of a republic after the monarchy was overthrown. The Reign of Terror from 1793-1794 saw the execution of enemies of the revolution by guillotine
Hitler's economic policy
Hitler implemented several economic policies in Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1939. He arrested trade union leaders and replaced them with the Nazi Labour Front. Workers were not allowed to be employed or have their wages set without approval from the Labour Front. Public works projects like expanding the autobahn and increasing military spending provided many new jobs and helped reduce unemployment. However, by 1939 Germany was still heavily dependent on imports and government spending and debt had increased dramatically.
Articles of Confederation
The Articles of Confederation established the first constitution of the United States from 1776-1787. It created a weak central government with a unicameral Congress consisting of one delegate per state and no executive branch. Congress had limited powers and it was difficult to pass laws or amendments. Dissatisfaction grew due to conflicts between states, debt, economic troubles, and uprisings like Shays' Rebellion. This led figures like Hamilton and Madison to call the Philadelphia Convention to draft a new constitution and replace the Articles of Confederation with a stronger central government.
Industrialization Notes
The Industrial Revolution began in Britain in the late 18th century and was driven by technological innovations, new energy sources like steam power, and increases in agricultural productivity. Britain was particularly well-suited for the Industrial Revolution due to its political stability, strong merchant class, accumulation of capital, supply of natural resources like coal and iron, and emphasis on practical science. The Industrial Revolution transformed British society, creating a large middle class and urban working class that faced poor living and working conditions. It subsequently spread across Western Europe and to the United States, profoundly changing social and economic structures globally.

The document provides background information on the American Revolution. It describes how the Enlightenment ideas of self-rule and British taxation without representation led the colonists to rebel. Key events that increased tensions included the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, and the Battles of Lexington and Concord, which marked the beginning of the Revolutionary War. The colonists declared independence in 1776 and formed the United States of America with a constitution that established a democratic federal government with protected rights and liberties.
Emancipation Proclamation
The document discusses the Emancipation Proclamation issued by President Lincoln in 1862 and 1863. It announces that Lincoln will free all slaves in Confederate states still in rebellion on January 1, 1863. Though it did not immediately free any slaves, it changed the war's objective to ending slavery and preserving the Union. It also prevented other countries like Britain from supporting the Confederacy. The Proclamation made the war a moral crusade against slavery and significantly weakened the South's position.

Origins of the Cold War
The Cold War began due to mutual distrust between the US and USSR following World War II. Though they allied against Hitler, ideological differences grew after the war as the Soviet Union installed communist governments across Eastern Europe and ignored promises of self-determination. Both sides wanted to spread their political and economic systems, seeing the other as inherently evil, leading to a policy of containment by the US and an arms race involving nuclear weapons that raised the stakes of a potential conflict.
World War II
The document discusses the start and end dates of World War 2. It notes that while the war is generally considered to have started on September 1, 1939 with Germany's invasion of Poland, some date the beginning earlier to Japan's invasion of Manchuria in 1931 or the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937. The exact end date is also not universally agreed upon, though some suggest August 1945 with Japan's surrender or May 1945 with Nazi Germany's surrender. The document also includes a brief world map showing colonial control at the end of the war in 1945.
Women Protest Movement USA
The women's rights movement developed due to growing dissatisfaction among women with traditional gender roles following World War 2. During the war, many women had taken on jobs formerly restricted to men, giving them a taste of independence. However, postwar society encouraged women to return to being homemakers. Over time, factors like higher education rates, more women in the workforce, and new social movements empowered women to demand equal rights and challenge societal expectations. Influential figures like Eleanor Roosevelt and Betty Friedan played key roles in advocating for women's issues and establishing organizations like NOW to advance women's civil rights.
Russian revolution ppt
The document provides an overview of the Russian Revolution and the establishment of the Soviet Union under Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin. It discusses the pre-revolutionary conditions in Russia, the revolutions of 1905 and 1917 that overthrew the Tsar, and Lenin taking power and establishing a communist government. It then summarizes how Stalin consolidated power after Lenin's death and created a totalitarian state through policies like collectivization, industrialization, propaganda, repression of religion, and purges of enemies.
Impact of Colonialism on Women
During colonialism in Southern Africa, women faced "tripartite oppression" as they suffered due to their gender, race, and status as colonial subjects. They were left to do most of the farming work alone while men migrated to towns for work, and had no land rights or access to education, voting rights, or opportunities. This oppression negatively impacted women and economic development.
2nd Wave Feminism
The document summarizes the feminist movement from the 1950s-1970s. It discusses how in the 1950s-60s, many employers refused to hire women despite their education levels. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 made gender discrimination illegal and inspired the feminist movement. Betty Friedan's 1963 book The Feminine Mystique addressed women's dissatisfaction with traditional gender roles and sparked further activism. Organizations like NOW advocated for women's rights. By the early 1970s, attitudes were shifting as more women entered previously male-dominated fields and the Supreme Court legalized abortion and struck down bans on contraception. However, full equality, such as through the Equal Rights Amendment, was not achieved.

women in the military during wwII
During WWII, over 350,000 women served in the US Armed Forces through branches like the WAC, WASP, WAVES, and SPARS. While about 70% held traditional female jobs as typists, clerks, and more, they played an essential role by freeing up men to fight. Women received training similar to men and showed their value in roles like communications operators, translators, and nurses. Though not on the front lines, women contributed greatly to the war effort through their service.
Woman Workforce During World War II
The document discusses the roles of women during World War II. It begins by providing context about the US initially staying out of the war until the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. With many men going off to fight, women increasingly took over jobs in factories and industries that had traditionally been done by men. Over 350,000 women served in the US military during this time in various roles such as nurses and pilots. The iconic figure of "Rosie the Riveter" represented the millions of women working in factories and shipyards to support the war effort on the home front. Their contributions helped transform the US economy and demonstrated women's ability to take on jobs traditionally held by men.
WWI presentation
World War I began in 1914 after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by a Serbian nationalist. This sparked conflict between the Allied powers of Britain, France, and Russia against the Central powers of Germany and Austria-Hungary. The United States initially remained neutral but entered the war in 1917 on the side of the Allies after German submarine attacks and the Zimmerman Telegram. The war was characterized by new military technologies like machine guns, tanks, airplanes, and poison gas, as well as brutal trench warfare with immense loss of life.
World War 1!!! T[1][1]
World War 1 was the first conflict to utilize new technologies like tanks, airplanes, chemical weapons, and trench warfare. Several pivotal battles occurred along the Western Front, including the Battles of Verdun, Ypres, and Somme, which involved immense casualties. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand ultimately triggered the start of the war.
The 20th century
1) Russia entered World War I in 1914 and suffered heavy losses which contributed to unrest among the Russian people and weakening of the Russian economy.
2) In 1917, two revolutions took place in Russia - the February Revolution which overthrew the Russian monarchy, and the Bolshevik Revolution in which the Bolsheviks under Vladimir Lenin seized power.
3) A civil war ensued between the Bolshevik Reds and opposing White forces, which the Reds eventually won, establishing the Soviet Union under communist rule led by Lenin and later Stalin.

Revolutions assessment
This document provides instructions for a student assignment to research and present on a revolution of their choosing. Students are asked to explore how their case study exemplifies a "time of change" by properly citing sources, sequencing events, and communicating their understanding. They can choose from example revolutions listed or an independent topic approved by the teacher. Presentation options include a multimedia portrait exhibit, illustrated map/timeline, or acting as a radical thinker at a press conference. The student will be evaluated on their presentation of key events, use of relevant information, and demonstrated understanding of the revolution's causes and consequences.
Samr agqtp
The document describes Ruben Puentedura's SAMR model, which categorizes technology usage into four levels: Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition. Substitution involves using technology to replace existing tasks without functional change, while Augmentation includes some functional improvement. Modification allows for significant task redesign, and Redefinition creates new tasks not previously possible. An example is given of a writing teacher whose technology integration progresses from word processing to online collaboration and cross-curricular projects.
9:11 turning points intro
1. 9/11 was a tragic event that killed nearly 3,000 people, but it did not signify the start of a "clash of civilizations" or usher in an era of hyper-terrorism as some initially thought.
2. While al Qaeda has continued isolated attacks, they were largely defeated by international cooperation against terrorism and failed to repeat another 9/11. Osama bin Laden's death during the Arab Spring further marked their decline.
3. The US overreaction to 9/11 through actions like the Iraq war had unintended consequences and cost the US financially, morally, and diplomatically while distracting from priorities like Afghanistan. 9/11 accelerated history but its impact was more

The suffragettes
Victorian women had few rights and were expected to be submissive to their husbands. As the 19th century progressed, women were granted some new rights but not the right to vote. In 1866, the first petition to Parliament asking for women's suffrage was ignored. Peaceful suffrage societies formed but made no progress. The Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) led by Emmeline Pankhurst used more militant tactics like window smashing and arson to force the issue, dividing public opinion. After force-feeding of imprisoned suffragettes caused outrage, some support grew. Women who helped with wartime efforts gained recognition. In 1918, some women over 30 gained the right to vote.
Women
Censorship in Britain and Germany during World War 1 involved monitoring personal correspondence and controlling news. In Britain, censorship of newspapers increased and mail was opened or delayed. In Germany, censorship was even stricter, with newspapers and letters subject to review by government censors. While censorship aimed to control the spread of information that could undermine the war effort, it raised concerns about restricting civil liberties.

Charlotte
Charlotte Perkins Gilman was a prominent American feminist writer in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She is best known for her 1892 short story "The Yellow Wallpaper". Gilman was a prolific writer who published fiction, non-fiction, and poetry addressing women's social and economic issues. Her most influential work was Women and Economics, which argued that women's economic dependence on men prevented their intellectual growth and that social environment, not biology, determined gender roles. Gilman spent her life advocating for women's liberation from the domestic sphere and social subordination through initiatives like professional housework and childcare services.

Defining feminism
Feminism refers broadly to the doctrine advocating equal social, political, and other rights for women as men. It describes both a philosophy and a cultural/political movement. In its narrow political sense, feminism is the struggle to achieve institutional and economic equality between the sexes. In the late 19th century, women had fewer rights and opportunities than men. They were excluded from many professions and politics. Progress was made in the late 19th century through better education and some legal reforms, but the right to vote in all elections, or suffrage, was still denied to women. This led to the emergence of suffrage movements advocating for women's right to vote.
First Ladies PowerPoint Presentation
The document provides historical context about women's roles and rights from the Revolutionary War period through the late 20th century, as well as the origins and evolution of the role of First Lady. It notes that following the Revolutionary War, married women had no legal rights or representation under the law. The term "First Lady" came into use in the 1840s to refer to the president's wife. Over time, First Ladies took on more public roles such as advocating for causes like temperance, women's suffrage, literacy, and health care reform. The document also discusses some of the hardships women faced in gaining access to education and how their historical contributions have often been overlooked.
Why did women get the vote
Women gained the right to vote in the UK in 1928 due to changing social attitudes towards women's roles and abilities, pressure from suffrage groups using both peaceful and violent tactics, women's contributions during World War 1, and other countries granting women's suffrage. Key factors included women entering the workforce in increasing numbers, the suspension of militant suffragette campaigns during the war to support the war effort, political motivations within the Liberal party to undermine the rising Labour party, and other British dominions granting women the vote earlier. However, the path to women's suffrage was gradual and not all women received equal voting rights in 1918.
H12 ch 20_womensrights_2013
This document discusses the history of women's rights from the early 20th century through the late 20th century. It describes how, in the early 1900s, women in many parts of the world had very limited roles and rights. They had little access to education, employment, property rights, or suffrage. Starting around the 1920s, industrialization created more jobs for women. The women's suffrage movement gained successes in the UK, US, and other Western nations through the 1920s. World War I further opened opportunities as women took over men's civilian jobs. Advances in contraception in the 1960s increased women's control over their reproductive rights. However, equality was still lacking, and struggles continued into the late 20

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
