When I was reading this speech, I was trying to understand her perspective more. When we were discussing this in class, I agree with Mary Beth, I was agreeing with Stanton and Anthony more and I am not saying that after reading this speech that I suddenly agree with her but I am able to understand her more. I think she is right that giving women the right to vote would not fix the problems right away but I don’t think that her approach would fix the problem either. –Kayle P | When I was reading this speech, I was trying to understand her perspective more.

| + | After reading Harper's speech, I could not help but feel for her and her situation. You most often hear that the men die, because of war, sickness, etc. When women die during this time it was like they were not there and the men go on with life. Like she said in her speech "how different would have been the result! By this time he would have had another wife, it is likely; and no administrator would have gone into his house, broken up his home, and sold his bed, and taken away his means of support." (Woloch, 363-364) I was sitting there imagining both scenarios. No wonder why women had to go to work outside the home. I would also think it would be more difficult for a black women to get work. How could these people do this to her? I think the answer is, because she had very little rights. -- Pam P. | ||
