Woman's Rights Movement

Eleanor was a strong believer in woman's right. She always tried her best to do everything possible to make the woman have more power in politics, in basically everything. By the time Eleanor took action other woman as well were working to make the movement possible. She worked with many programs as in: National Consumers League, International Congress of Working Women, and the Women's International League of Peace and Freedom. She didn’t really know how to campaign because she personally had never been in the woman suffrage. But after Roosevelt started supporting the woman suffrage. Eleanor backed him up with the campaign. Not knowing that she will one day be one of the biggest impacts of the woman’s rights movement. She was really committed to her work with the woman’s right she wanted woman to be just as equal to any man. Because no one should be discriminated against just because of their gender. The world war was one of the biggest impacts in woman’s rights movement. The women were discriminated against saying they couldn’t help. There came a point where they didn’t care anymore because they needed all the help they could take. After that woman had a lot more freedom but it still wasn’t enough so Eleanor fought with many others to end that. This did help because today a woman could do anything a man could do as in working, sports, etc.
