The Territory of Wyoming passes the first law in the nation giving women over age 21 the right to vote. After joining the Union in 1890, Wyoming becomes the first state to permit women the right to vote in all elections, although in 1887, Kansas al- lowed women to vote in municipal elec- tions. The colonies adopt the English system of property ownership for married women, meaning women cannot own property in their own name or keep their own earnings. By 1900, every state will have passed leg- islation modeled after New York?s Mar- ried Women?s Property Act (1848), which grants married women the right to keep their own wages and to own property in their own name. 1769 1848 1868 1869 1869 Racial Equality Issue Splits Two Suffrage Associations

Identity: Race, Ethnicity, Gender, and Sexuality Chapter 5 What is Identity and How are Identities Constructed? Identity Identity ? ?how we make sense of ourselves? ? Rose How do we establish identities?? - we construct our identities through experiences, emotions connections, and rejections. An identity is a snapshot of who we are at a point in time Identities are fluid, constantly changing, shifting, becoming. Identities vary across scales, and affect each other across scales. Identities are also constructed by identifying against (defining the other and then defining ourselves as ?not that.?) Gender? Gender ? ?a culture?s assumptions about the differences between men and women: their ?characters,? the roles they play in society, what they represent.?

stereotyping

I evaluated toys at a Toys R Us website. Gender role stereotyping is present in this store. One example of gender role stereotyping occurred in the ?Building sets? sub category. I noticed that building sets for boys offered a much larger selection than the building sets for girls. The building sets for boys yielded 47 items to choose from, while the girls building sets offered on 11 items. (Toysrus.com, 2013) Another example of gender stereotyping was visible in the ?Building Sets? category. Most of the boys? building sets were had superheroes and action themes. The way this relates to gender stereotyping is that males are supposed to be strong and be achievement-oriented.

Javier Quinonez Professor Ribar English Composition August 29, 2013 The Basis of Your Identity Throughout the reading of finding ones identity the base of one?s true identity was questioned. The ways of an individual finding their identity was debated, and compared, with three methods, something a person is born with, influenced by culture, or expressed through the individual in the way they expose themselves to the world. Individuals cannot derive the basis of their identity from birth as it is impossible to cultivate ones identity without time and exposure. Without the tools of exposure and time individuals would not be able to differentiate themselves from each other and lose the ability to have their own true identities.
