Women's History in the USA

přednáší Joanna Kortik

March is Women’s History Month in the United States when Americans honor the women’s suffrage movement and the plans for women to shape the future. The women’s suffrage movement in America has a relatively short history; the struggle for women’s rights became pronounced during America’s industrial revolution. The demand for women’s suffrage emerged in the first half of the 19^th century from within other reform movements of the period. Joanna Kortik will place the women’s suffrage movement into the context of America’s history. She will discuss the ongoing movement and provide her perspective of the social, economic and political challenges for women in America today.
