Days 3-44/29-30
I can use the words I know and context clues to better understand a primary source.
Directions: You are going to read a speech that Susan B. Anthony gave when she was accused of a crime after voting. As you read, be sure to:
1. Read and circle any words you do not know the meaning of.
2. Re-read the speech a second time using the glossary and context clues to write synonyms or explanations above difficult words.
3. Re-read the speech a third time and answer the text-dependent questions in the right-hand column.
“On Women’s Right to Suffrage,” a Speech by Susan B. Anthony, 1873 Use the text to answer the following questions:
(1) “Friends and fellow citizens: I stand before you tonight under indictment
(charge in court) for the alleged crime of having voted at the last presidential
election, without having a lawful right to vote. It shall be my work this evening
to prove to you that in thus voting, I not only committed no crime, but,
What does Susan B. Anthony mean by “alleged crime”?
*Hint – What does she say about her “crime” later in the
paragraph? What does this help us understand about the word
“alleged”?
In 1873, it was against the law for women to vote in the
state of New York as well as in other states. This speech
says that voting is a right that is “beyond the power of
states to deny.” What do you think this means?
7
instead, simply exercised my citizen’s rights, guaranteed to me and all United
States citizens by the National Constitution, beyond the power of any state to
deny.”
(2) The preamble (introduction) of the Federal Constitution says: ‘We, the people
of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice,
insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the
general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our
posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of
America.’
(3) It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male
Why did the people of the United States establish a
Constitution? (In other words, what were their goals in
doing so?)
Who does Susan B. Anthony believe is included in “we,
the people?” How did you infer this?
8
citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union. And we formed it,
not to give the blessings of liberty, but to secure them; not to the half of
ourselves and the half of our posterity, but to the whole people—women as
well as men. And it is a downright mockery to talk to women of their
enjoyment of the blessings of liberty while they are denied the use of the only
means of securing them provided by this democratic- republican government
—the ballot.”
What does Susan B. Anthony think is a “mockery”?
What does the ballot represent or stand for in this
sentence?
Glossary
deny To refuse to give or allow something
exercised To make use of something
indictment A formal accusation of a crime
lawful Legal; allowed by the law
secure To get or obtain something
posterity People in the future
mockery A joke or something ridiculous

I can annotate “Order in the Court” while reading for clunks.
A. Directions: Look closely at the list of courtroom vocabulary provided in this packet, as well as the glossary provided in the text. As you read,
circle words you don’t know and underline important details. In the table below, you should write additional clunks you solved while you
read, and note which strategy you used to solve them.
Fix-Up Strategies1 Reread the sentence with the clunk and look for key ideas to help you figure out the word.234

Biography: Sojourner Truth Notes
1. Born into slavery in 1797, Isabella Baumfree, who later changed her name to Sojourner Truth, would
become one of the most powerful advocates for human rights in the nineteenth century. Her early
childhood was spent on a New York estate (farm) owned by a Dutch American named Colonel Johannes
Hardenbergh. Like other slaves, she experienced the miseries of being sold and was cruelly beaten and
mistreated. Around 1815 she fell in love with a fellow slave named Robert, but they were forced apart by
Robert’s master. Isabella was instead forced to marry a slave named Thomas, with whom she had five
children.
2. In 1827, after her master failed to honor his promise to free her or to uphold the New York Anti-Slavery
Law of 1827, Isabella ran away, or, as she later informed her master, “I did not run away, I walked away
by daylight….” After experiencing a religious conversion, Isabella became a preacher and in 1843 changed
her name to Sojourner Truth. During this period she became involved in the growing antislavery
movement, and by the 1850s she was involved in the women’s rights movement as well. At the 1851
Women’s Rights Convention held in Akron, Ohio, Sojourner Truth delivered what is now recognized as
one of the most famous abolitionist (anti slavery) and women’s rights speeches in American history,
“Ain’t I a Woman?” She continued to speak out for the rights of African Americans and women during
25
and after the Civil War. Sojourner Truth died in Battle Creek, Michigan, in 1883.

“Aint I a Woman?” by Sojourner Truth Questions
1. Well, children, where there is so much racket there must be something out of
kilter. I think that between the negroes of the South and the women at the
North, all talking about rights, the white men will be in a fix pretty soon. But
what's all this here talking about?
2. That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, and
lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody ever helps
me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place! And ain't I
a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed and planted, and
gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain't I a woman? I could
work as much and eat as much as a man - when I could get it - and bear the

lash as well! And ain't I a woman? I have borne thirteen children, and seen
most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother's grief, none
but Jesus heard me! And ain't I a woman?
3. Then they talk about this thing in the head; what's this they call it? [member of
audience whispers, "intellect"] That's it, honey. What's that got to do with
women's rights or negroes' rights? If my cup won't hold but a pint, and yours
holds a quart, wouldn't you be mean not to let me have my little half measure
full?
4. Then that little man in black there, he says women can't have as much rights as
men, 'cause Christ wasn't a woman! Where did your Christ come from? Where
did your Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothing to do
with Him.
5. If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside
down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back , and
get it right side up again! And now they is asking to do it, the men better let
them.
6. Obliged to you for hearing me, and now old Sojourner ain't got nothing more
to say. [1]

I can describe how rights for women and girls have changed over time, and what remains to be done.
This article explores whether rights for women and girls have changed over time, and how they have not changed.
For most women and girls, it's still a man's worldBy Los Angeles Times, adapted by Newsela
Women are still fighting for their rights in most countries around the world almost 20 years after a huge plan for gender equality was adopted at a world conference in China.What is the main idea of the first paragraph?__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

In September 1995, world leaders met in Beijing for the Fourth Annual Conference on Women. The United Nations (U.N.), which promotes international cooperation, security and human rights, held the meeting.
41
U.N. members came up with a “Platform for Action” and 189 countries agreed to it. It set a series of lofty goals to improve the treatment of womenand girls, including equal access to education, an end to child marriages and the elimination of poverty. P#3 When 189 countries gathered to create a “Platform for Action,” they set goals to improve what 3 areas?_
1. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
2. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
3. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The UCLA study identified a few other positive changes. Most of the constitutions adopted since 1995 guarantee equality for women. These includenew constitutions drafted in Egypt and Iraq. Saudi Arabia does not have such provisions, however. Nearly two decades have passed since then. This year, thousands of U.N. members will gather in New York to begin reviewing how much progress has been made. Many of the goals set in Beijing have not been met.
Fewer Rights Than Men And Boys
Two new studies show that women are still fighting for their rights.One study, which was released on Monday, was done by the World Policy Analysis Center of the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA). It found that about 90 percent of countries still have laws and policies that give women and girls fewer rights and protections than men and boys.
Do women and girls today have the same rights as men and boys? Why do you think this is true?

50 Years To Equality In Government
The second study was carried out by the U.N. It reviewed how much has changed over the past 20 years. The study indicated that countries have made limited progress. For example, men still dominate in government. Only 20 countries have female heads of state or government, and althoughwomen make up about half the global population, they account for only about 1 in 5 national lawmakers. Half of all women have paying jobs, but they are paid less than their male co-workers throughout the world.
How many countries have women (female) heads of government? Why do you think this might be?__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Although there has been progress, the U.N. study found that it has been slow. At the current rate, it will take about 50 years for there to be as many women in government as men. It will take 81 years for women to participate equally in business.The findings point to a failure of leadership, Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka said in a statement last week. She is the head of the U.N. agency on women.
43
“The leaders entrusted with the power to realize the promises made in Beijing have failed women and girls," she said.
Day 185/20
I can describe how rights for women and girls have changed over time, and what remains to be done.
More Girls In School, More Women Work
Both studies noted that some progress has been made. For example, many countries have removed laws that discriminated against women, and many have adopted measures to halt violence against women and girls. Nearly half of all primary school students are now girls, the U.N. report says. Participation by women in the labor force has increased since the 1990s, and the percentage of mothers who die during childbirth has dropped.
Name at least one positive (good) change that has taken place for women and girls:

Most of the constitutions adopted since 1995 guarantee equality for women. These include new constitutions drafted in Egypt and Iraq. Saudi Arabia does not have such provisions, however.
Child Marriage Is A Big Obstacle
44
(signed)Saudi Arabia is also one of two countries, along with Yemen, that hasn’t established a minimum age for marriage. The Beijing Platform for Action identified early marriage as a major problem for women's equality.
But, more than 60 countries still allow girls to be married at a younger age than boys. Researchers said that this fact helps explain why nearly five times more girls than boys get married before they turn 18.
“Girls who marry young have babies young,” said Jody Heymann. She is the founding director of UCLA's World Policy Analysis Center and is dean ofthe university’s Fielding School of Public Health. Having children at a young age jeopardizes (put in danger) women's health and that of their babies,reduces their chances of completing their education and affects their ability to earn a living.
Why is it dangerous for women to have babies at a young age?__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

In at least 23 countries, most of which are in Africa and the Middle East, inheritance laws allow men to inherit more of their families' wealth than women. UCLA's study also found that 10 countries do not give women the same rights to own property as men.
U.S. Lags Peers On Paid Maternity Leave
Leave Western countries also fall short when it comes to women's equality.
The United States scores well on access to education, providing free schooling for boys and girls through high school, but it does not guarantee paidleave for new mothers. Every other high-income country allows mothers to take paid time off to spend time with their newborns.
What is the United States doing well in terms of the rights of girls and women, and what do they need to improve?__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The U.S. is also one of just seven U.N. member countries that have not ratified the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. Other countries that have not done so are Iran, Somalia and Sudan.
Heymann said educating women to the same standard as men and giving them an equal chance in the workplace could contribute billions to the global economy. As a result, both men and women are paying a price for women's inequality, she said.
The U.N. study also found that violent conflicts, changes in food and energy prices, economic crises and climate change have all contributed to the lack of progress for women's rights.
What are some of the reasons for the lack of progress in women’s rights?__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Despite the barriers, however, the UCLA study found that progress has been recorded in every region of the world and in countries at every incomelevel. “Clearly we have the capability to do this as a global community," Heymann said. "It's a question of whether we all focus on getting the job done."
