Empowerment

Women Empowerment Legacy Of The Women Rights Movement: The Womens Rights Movement first launched in Seneca Falls, NY at the Women Rights Convention in 1848. Since then women have fought hard for the change that has become today. It has not been an easy fight with much planning and organization for lectures, marches, petitions, lobbies, and parades paving the way for new ground to be broken. Young women and girls today have no idea of the struggles of the generations of women before them. Many have taken for granted their right to vote and their fight to be equal. It is something that should be taught in depth in our high school history books. With knowledge comes power and the young women today should know and never forget the battles that have been fought for them. Popular personalities who dedicated their lives on women rights & empowerment are: Dr. Muthulakshmi Reddi *** Annie Besant Raja Ram Mohan Roy
