Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Elizabeth Cady Stanton was born on Novemeber 12th in 1820 in in Johnstown, New York.
She married in 1840 Henry Stanton.
During the age that she lived , women were not allowed to show their pregnancy in public so they stayed at home. But when the seventh son of Elizabeth was borned , she celebrated it putting a flag outside her house, so everyone could see it and could know the importance of her maternity . Elizabeth Cady Stanton participated in the famous Seneca Falls Convention in July 1848. At this meeting, the attendees drew up its “Declaration of Sentiments” and proposed women to have the right to vote.
After meeting Susan B Anthony in 1850, she was one of the leaders in promoting women's rights in general (such as divorce) and the right to vote in particular. In 1868, she worked with Susan B. Anthony and they both formed the National Woman Suffrage Association .
Elizabeth travelled to give speeches.
She published with her daughter two volumens of critiques “The Women´s Bible”.
She also obtain the women´s right to ride bycicles .Elizabeth died on October 26 ,1902.She´s recognized as one of the more remarkable individuals in American history.

MY OPINION: I agree with her because I think that women must have the same rights as men

because I don´t think they are better tahn women. I really like the thing that Elizabeth did, that was put a flag when her seventh son was born because become mother is very important for women.

In the dawn of August 5, 1939 little after finishing the civil war, in Madrid, 13 girls 7 of them minors were shot by the repression the dictatorship of the pro-Franco army.
The name of this one 13 heroines:Carmen Barredo, Martina Barosso, Blanca Brissac, Pilar Bueno, Julia Conera, Adelina Garcia, Elena Gil, Virtues Gonzalez, Ana Lopez, Joaquina Lopez, Dionisia Manzanero, Victoria Muñoz and Luisa Rodriguez.
His only one crime was to defend the republican legality against the military elevation of 36 and to have militado in the socialist unified yoth (JSU).
My personal opinion is that I do not agree in that they could not defend the ideas of the persons and more in those times when the women not if it wants were listened;It is possible neither to kill nor compel any person because not this one in agreement with any ideas that certain persons impose.

Dolores Ibárruri Gómez, La Pasionaria

She was born in 1895 in Gallarta, Vizcaya. She was a politician in the Second Spanish Republic and she fought in the Civil War. She fought for a free country, she fought against Franco and she fought to show everyone that women are free to decide their future. She took part in a hunger strike in 1917. She took part in the foundation of the Spanish Comunist Party in 1921.
In 1931 she came to Madrid to work in the Mundo Obrero newspaper. In 1933 she became president of the Anti fascist Women Union.
La Pasionaria was in prison lots of times, because of her speeches and her participation on lots of comunist protests. She died in Madrid in 1989.
Some of her famous quotes form part of an imaginary set of human ideas of freedom and hope. She has been the inspiration for lots of poets and singers like Pablo Neruda, Rafael Alberti or Ana Belén.

My opinion:
I agree with her because she was one of the first women who entered in politics during the Spanish Republic and then during the Spanish Civil War she participated in the Republic party. She also fought for her ideas going to hunger strikes, talking on the radio giving her opinion, participating on lots of protests etc. All that shows that she was a very brave woman because she wasn’t scare about what can happen to her by doing all that things, and she never resigned to her dreams and ideas.
