the woman in the 1900's/1910's are more welcoming to the fact of having the men work and they stay at home. But the woman in the 1950's/1960's do not want to give up their jobs after they finally feel like they can do things for them selves like Rosie the Riveter who worked building buildings. but woman now have the same feelings about how they should be treated.
In The 1900's/1910's Women Were Begging For Equal Rights As Men Like Being Able To Vote Was The Main Thing They Wanted ( Suffrage Which They Got In The 1950's ). In The 105-'s/60's They Didnt Want To Be House Wifes. Because The Men Was In WWII And They Didnt Want To Do Everything !
The difference is simply that the women have a more open way of life but back then they just stayed in the house all day so they came a long way
The women's movement of the 1910's was mainly for voting, because they thought they were the more important part of society because they did all the work. But, in the 1950's, it was about becoming equal , instead of being the best.
that in the 1900's/and 1910's had no chance to step up and go against the men and later in the 1950's/and 1960's they have a chance again
The womens movement of the 1900's/1910's compare to the women's movement in the 1950's/60's because in the 1900 was when they wanted the right to vote but never got it, they also wanted equal pay but they never got it. In the 1950's they fought again and actually won their rites. Before they got there rites the men had problems with wear the women put their clothes, "My dear Susan, would you please keep your trousers on your side of the closet." After 1950's they got sick of there disrespect again and tried again. "Each suburban wife struggled with it alone. As she made the beds, shopped for groceries, matched slipcover material, ate peanut butter sandwiches with her children, chauffered Cub Scouts and Brownies, lay beside her husband at night - she was afraid to ask even of herself the silent question."
The women's movement of the 1900/10's compare to the women's movement of the 1950/60's becuae women in the 1910'a were fighting for voting rights by saying that they were the backbone of the country; the mothers and the sisters and the daughters, the caretakers that knew how to feed and take care of the family and the house. In 1950's, women fought for rights in a different way; they fought not as mothers and caretakers, but as proffesionals. They wanted to be equal to men and they did anything to prove it. That is the difference.

In The 1900's/1910's Women Were Begging For Equal Rights As Men Like Being Able To Vote Was The Main Thing They Wanted ( Suffrage Which They Got In The 1950's ). " Isnt It A Funny Thing That Father Cannot See Why Mother Ought To Have A Vote On How These Things Should Be?" In The 1950's/60's They Didnt Want To Be House Wifes. Because The Men Was In WWII And They Didnt Want To Do Everything. " As She Made The Beds, Shopped For Groceries, Matched Slipcover Material, Ate Penut Butter . . . " This Shows That They Never HAd A Break !
In the 1900's/1910's the women had no rights and were suffering. They were really suffering and wanted rights. "She's good enough to be your baby's mother and she's good enought to vote with you". The women felt this way and wanted women rights. In the 1950's/1960's women had rights but not enough. They were tired of being labeled as "The Housewives" and to cook clean and take care of the kids. " ...Why is it acceptable for women to be secrateries, librarians, and teachers, but totally unacceptable for them to be managers, administrators, doctors, lawyers and members of congress?" The women mah have more rights than they did before but its not enough.
The women's movement of the 1910's was more of people saying things. People actually took action during the movement of the 1950's. But men and women were still not equal. "Why is it acceptable for women to be secretaries, librarians and teachers, but totally unacceptable for them to be managers, administraters, doctors, lawyers, and members of Congress?" So although they had jobs, they didn't have the good jobs men had. Men also owned all the power because as soon as they came back from war they took women's jobs. "Within two months after the war, some 800,00 women had been fired from jobs in the aircraft industry..."

The womens movement of the 1900's to the 1910's compare to the women's movement in the 1950's to 60's because between the 1900's and 10's they were coming more about to have rights and be equal as men. In the 1950's-60's the men were at war and they wanted to work and eventually they got the right's to vote at that time but they people were still against that women should vote but they believe they could since they can be take control of the house while the men left to fight, i believe they can manage to vote and do whatever boys can do to.
In the 1900's/1910's, women didnt mind staying at home, in fact, most of them prefered to have all the men doing their word for them. Later in the century, women learned what it was like to have jobs and be independent and didn't want to go back to being housewives.
in the 1910s they were known to be stay home wives and to cater to their husbands and kids now in 1950s they have shown growth by taking on mens jobs when they were gone. but when the men came back 800,000 women lost their jobs and they were mad but they stood up for them selves and mad a U.N for women also

In the 1910's movement, the women had fought foir the right to vote. They were upset that women were not yet equal with men and wanted acceptance for who they are and what they do for society. They wantred the chance to vote in order to show they mattered and were just as a part of society as men were. After they got the right to vote, the men from the war had come back and basically escorted women back into the house as mothers and housewives. Women were furious. The 1940's women had protested for more equality. Yes, they had the right to vote, but they wanted to be able to bejust as good as the men. They had the skills to do what they wanted, but they were degrated into homelife, instead of rising to a carrer. Those who were lucky enough to have a carrer, were also discriminated against and were given a lesser pay then men for the same job. Today, everone is able to be equal in what they do and everyone is counted for. Go Women!!!
The women's movement in the 1910s were for voting, while the women's movement of the 50s were more about becomming equal. Women wanted to get out of the house, to get jobs and equal pay. But, both of these movements had women fighting for their rights, which is the main similarity.
women in the 1910's were more open to letting the men work and they stay at home and cook, clean, and watch the children but in the 1950's that all changed. women wanted more independence with work and the right to vote. they wanted to be treated equal to men. in the document a Senator Robert Owen Supports Women (1910) it states,"...Women are better informed about house government, and she can learn state government facility as he can learn how to instruct children, properly feed and cloth the household, care for the sick... or make a house beautiful." men believed that women had to stay in the house to do their daily chores with the children cooking and keeping up with the house work and that they couldn't do all that because they had to work when in fact they could/can. in document 1 it states,"In the two years after the war, some two million women had lost their jobs." during the war women proved that they could do the same jobs as men and still care for their children and take care of the house. they were not only the care givers anymore they were also the providers., but after the men came back and they all wanted their jobs back they thought the women would just go back to the way things were when they didn't want to. they proved themselves and all the men wanted was their jobs back. this is the difference between women in the 1910's and the 1950's.
The woman movement of the 1900's/1910's compares to the women's movemtent of the 1950's/1960's because they are both for getting rights for a women. In 1910 Senator Robert Owen said, "Women compose one-half of the human race....working women receive a smaller wage for equal work than men do, and that the smaller wage and harder conditions imposed on the woman worker are due to the lack of the ballot...." Women tried to make themselves equal to men so they didnt have to work harder and get lower wages. in 1966,National Organization for Women wrote, "Discrimination in employment on the basisi of sex is now prohibited by...the Civil Rights Act of 1964." Both movements helped women get equality in working environments. Overall, women didnt get the rights they deserved so the fought to get them.
Women in the 1900s-1910s is different from the women in the 1950s-1960s. In the 1900s-1910s women would stay home while the men went to work everyday but in the 1950s-1960s women would take the mens job while they went to work. So they were getting more independent as life moved on.
The women in 1900's-1920's wanted voting rights as apposed to 1950's-1970's when the women didn't want to be doing all the work. "Each suburban wife struggles with it [a sense of dissatisfaction] alone...As she made all the beds, shopped for groceries, matched slipcover material etc." Even though they had more rights from the past they thought they deserved more. -Tyrell Arnum
The women's movement of the 1900's/1910's compares a lot to the 1950's/1960's women movement. In the 1900's-10's it was mainly about giving women the right to vote. This is supported in Document G, "Give mother the vote we need it, our food, our health, our play, our homes, our schools, our work, are ruled by men's votes. On the other hand the women's movement of the 1950's/60's was more aimed at having equal opportunites with men. As stated in Document 2, "As she made the beds, shopped for groceries, matche slipcover material, ate peanut betture sandwiches with her children... she was afraid to even ask even of herself the silent question- "Is this all (there is)?" The women were more fighting for equal employment opportunites, developmental care, maternal leave, etc which is much different than the womens movement of 1900's-1910's.
There are alot of differences between women in the 1900 an 1910. woman in 1900's realy didn't start taking big steps into gettting epual rights like the men.
Answer:
The women's movement of the 1900's and the 1910's compare to the women's movement of the 1950's and the 1960's in many ways. Women both wanted equality and want work towards goals of helping society. In document A (1910) it said "first laws they demanded were laws for the protection of the children of the state...the better care of the insane, the deaf, the dumb, the blind..." This is similar to the occupation of the women's movement in the 1950's and 1960's. In document3 (1966) it stated "...to work towards these goals:
Ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment
Equal employment opportunities
Development child care
Paid maternity leave
Right to control our own reproductive lives
Improvement of the image of women in the mass media" as you can see, both movements wanted to contribute their ideas to society from the political and economic stance which can be provided through the right to vote and by gaining more rights and opportunities for women. They wanted to be equal to men. These are the similarities between the women's movements.
