Description

Week 3 Short Responses – Question 1 What types of sources could be used to research the economic impact of the women's movement? What about for its social impact? Develop relevant search terms.

Primary and secondary sources can be used to research the economic impact of the women's movement. Primary resources can be used to research the social impact of the women's movement. Search terms I would use are: women AND education AND 1800's; women AND voting RIGHTS Week 3 Short Responses – Question 2 Congress held its final vote to approve the Nineteenth Amendment on June 4, 1919. Was this a necessary or a contributory cause of the success of the woman suffrage movement?

This was a necessary cause of the success of the woman suffrage movement. Without the final approval the woman suffrage movement would have been unsuccessful. Week 3 Short Responses – Question 3 The National American Woman Suffrage Association supported the U.S. decision to enter World War I and publicly encouraged women to support the war effort. Was this a necessary or a contributory cause of the success of the woman suffrage movement?

This was a contributory cause of the success of the woman suffrage movement. The women's support of World War I was not essential to the success of the woman suffrage movement. Women's support was noticed and did shed more light on their good cause. Week 3 Short Responses – Question 4 Look at this website for information about women's suffrage at the Library of Congress: http://www.loc.gov/teachers/classroommaterials/primarysourcesets/womens-suffrage. Using the A.R.I.A. criteria, answer the following questions: What is the purpose of this website? Is the information on this website easy to locate? Can you use a search box or a navigational menu? How reliable and current is the information presented? Would this website be appropriate to use in a research paper?

This website is for teachers and instructor’s purposes to plan lessons for students on the Women's Suffrage Movement. There is a search box/navigational menu. The website is clean cut and well organized. The content is reliable and well resourced. Although the content is reliable, it is not laid out in such a way to be used in research paper. This website is more for

teachers to lay out their lessons plans to teach their students. Week 3 Short Responses – Question 5 Look at this website about the Paycheck Fairness Act: https://www.aclu.org/equal-pay-equalwork-pass-paycheck-fairness-act. Using the A.R.I.A. criteria, answer the following questions: Who sponsors this website? Is it easy to navigate and find information? Is it modern looking? How current and accurate is the information on the website? Does it promote a specific opinion or point of view? Would this website be appropriate to use in a research paper?

American Civil Liberties Union Sponsors this website. The website has a pretty simplistic look with few advertisements. The information presented at the beginning of the article is based on the census of 2013. So, the information is relatively current. The website is promoting that pay should be equal across the board for men, women, African Americans, and Whites. ï‚·es, this website would be appropriate. Even though it is stating a view point, the website gives the referenced information and laws needed to support their opinion. Week 3 Short Responses – Question 6 Accuracy: Are references provided? Does the reference list include other scholarly sources? Relevancy: Would this article be useful for a paper examining the similarities between political sentiment in states that granted women the right to vote before the Nineteenth Amendment? Would it be useful in an essay focusing on the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA), an activist group based in New York that was dedicated to nationwide woman suffrage? Intent: What is the point of this article? Is the author making an argument? Authoritativeness: What are the author's credentials? What about the publication's?

References are provided in the "Notes" section. The reference list does include Scholarly sources from the University of California. This article would be useful for a paper examining the similarities between political sentiment in states that granted women the right to vote before the Nineteenth Amendment. It would not be useful in an essay focusing on the National Woman Suffrage Association since it involves California. The point of this article is to show the importance of California suffrage to the national suffrage movement. The author is not making an argument, just statements. The author is a Professor of Women's Studies, 20th Century United States, Race and Gender, and Historical Methods in the history department at the University of Nebraska, Kearney. The University of California Press published it. Week 3 Short Responses – Question 7 Building on the keywords you identified in Theme 1, and the research of secondary sources

you have done so far, what subjects, events, people, and time period are related to the topic you have chosen for your historical event analysis essay? Identifying these pieces will be useful as you search the primary source databases.

Subjects: Native Americans, United States, Race, Economic conditions Events: Indian Removal Act of 1830 People: The Cherokee Principle Chief John Ross, Andrew Jackson Time Period:1830 – 1839 Week 3 Short Responses – Question 8 1. Who (either a single person or an organization) created this poster? Why did this person or organization write it? 2. Who is the intended audience? What methods does the creator(s) use to target this audience? How might the intended audience have encountered this poster?

The National American Woman Suffrage Association created this poster. They created this poster to try and persuade more States to be in favor of the movement. The intended audience would be voters, politicians and possibly workers. The audience would most likely have seen this up on walls in the work place or perhaps have been handed it to them while walking on the street. Week 3 Short Responses – Question 9 1. Can you detect any biases in this source? What words does the creator use that might point to his or her biases or assumptions? 2. What biases might you bring to your interpretation of the source?

Yes, I can detect some bias in this source. It seems they are leaning on the fact that gender equality is not equal. It quotes, "I am for unqualified women suffrage as a matter of human justice. It is unfair that women should be governed by laws in the making of which they have no voice"....
