Coontz, Stephanie. "Why Gender Equality Stalled." The New York Times. The New York Times, 16 Feb. 2013. Web. 03 Apr. 2017.
This article may have been written in 2013, but I believe it will help us with our essay because it compares women's rights from the 1960s to now. It discusses how in the 60s most people did not believe women's rights were even possible and includes many statistics to back this up. It discusses equal rights bills and laws that were made at the time and which ones failed and succeeded. In recent studies it is proven that a normal household should have both men and women in the work force. This is obviously very different from the 1960s protest which provides some good evidence for change in our essay.
Michigan Women's Commission. "Catalog Record: The Equal Rights Amendment : Questions
and Answers." Digital Public Library of America. Lansing: The Commission, 1973. Web. 03 Apr. 2017.
This primary source is relevant to our paper’s subject because it touches on the Equal Rights of Women during the 1960’s and 70’s. The author is a well known women's suffrage group called the Michigan Women’s Commission. They sent out this article to explain the unanswered questions about women's rights. The main ideas of this article is to explain in detail the misunderstandings regarding the Equal Rights Amendment and the Federal Constitution. The intended audience of this piece is for the general public but primarily for women across the US. This source accurately argues our case with this movement so we can use it for our paper. It explains how the equality between men and women was not equal at the time and how this movement was changing that slowly but surely.
Scherman, S. “Bridging Two Movements: Helen Claytor’s Contributions to Civil And Women’s
Rights in the 1950’s and 1960’s.” Paper presented at the 1802-1826. 2014.
In this paper, women like Claytor show that advancements in women's rights have come as a result of the work of women across racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic lines, and their voices need to be included. Because just as feminism itself should be inclusive, so, too, should its representation. In this paper it discusses helen Claytor's life story and how her time being a part of the YWCA turned from a group to a social movement. This is important for our essay because it gives us an example of a group that changed social life at the time of the 60s. Being a primary source, it gives us a direct example of an individual who experienced women's rights issues at the time and will allow us to use her first hand experiences in our essay.
Schlafly, Phyllis. "'Equal Rights' for Women: Wrong Then, Wrong Now." Los Angeles Times. Los Angeles Times, Web. 03 Apr. 2017.
This article was also written more recently but discusses the events of equal rights in the past. Unlike the other scholarly article with statistics, this one has a timeline of events that took place during the movements in the 1900s. It discusses laws that were passed and how they are still today working on amendments to create more rights for women. It gives us a different point of view from the one that said all rights were created equal today. Instead, it gives us a contradicting thought that maybe they are not. In particular it touches on the ERA and whether it is helping or hurting women's rights. This could be a good point to put in the essay, and this article will help back it up.
