"Listen, as I recite one of the most iconic speeches of American History. 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 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 and after the Civil War. Ladies and Gentleman, in honor of Women's History Month- I give you... Sojourner Truth's 'Ain't I A Woman? Enjoy!"

Family Life's "Staycation Destinations" for Summer 2023 Tucked into the Finger Lakes region of New York is the Women's Rights National Historical Park. It's so appropriate that this launching point of a major movement in American culture is this week's "Staycation Destination", because this week is the 175th anniversary which made Seneca Falls a historic site. On July 19-20, 1848, more than 300 people gathered at the Weslyan Methodist Chapel for a first-of-its-kind Women's Rights Convention. The event resulted in a "Declaration of Sentiments", a document which paralleled the Declaration of Independence of 72 years earlier and which now is recognized as the founding statement of the women's rights movement which eventually would spread through the nation and the world. The declaration was signed by 100 women and men. Park Ranger Rebecca Weaver gives us the inspiring stories of that Convention which predates the Civil War, details of the 175th anniversary celebration there and throughout the Seneca Falls community (July 21-23, 2023), and an inviting glimpse into what the Park offers for its visitors year-round. During scheduled programs, reenactors portray Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Mary Ann M'Clintock and other leaders of the movement. As part of the National Park Service, the Women's Rights Park charges no admission fees, and it is open 362 days a year. Seneca Falls is in the Finger Lakes region, near a midpoint between Syracuse and Rochester. - - - - This week's Side Trip Suggestion:  Sculptures made of old metal highway signs. Go a mile or so east of the Meadville exit off I-79 in western Pennsylvania, and you will see a wide-ranging quarter mile of unique art. Sculptures and panoramas at the PENNDOT facility along the north side of Highway 322 have been made from out-of-service reflective metal road signs. See if you (and your travel companions) can find anything from hot air balloons, to a Ferris Wheel, to a singing cowboy, to 3-D flower gardens. (Park at a safe place nearby, and walk along the display called "Read Between the Signs".) [New this summer, each of our "Staycation Destinations" podcast posts will also describe one additional tourist site in the Family Life listening area. It could be a quirky attraction, a new activity, or something else that you may discover is worth seeking out.]

The climate fight is a fight for children's rights.When Carter Dillard began researching family planning systems he found a fallacy in international policy: The Children's Rights Convention, ratified by the UN, entitles children to health, education, well-being and fulfilled potential—but no country implements family planning systems around these rights. Family planning systems are based around what parents want, not what children need. Every country, in effect, is breaking the Children's Rights Convention.Why? For economic growth.Carter's research shows a series of policy interventions in the 20th century made family planning a private matter. This absolved states of the responsibility to invest in children and redistribute wealth, whilst guaranteeing a boom in population to feed the economic machine.“If we'd had to invest in children to give them everything they need to ensure that children are born in what, in the conditions that comply with the convention, we would not have had growth.”Carter is the author of the Justice as a Fair Start in Life: Understanding the Right to Have Children, and the Policy Director of the Fair Start Movement, an organisation committed to raising awareness of the Children's Rights Convention. They are currently petitioning the UN Human Rights Council claiming the UN has misinterpreted the right to have children, and have forthcoming constitutional litigation in the USA. He joins me to discuss this work, his research into the history of family planning, and the impact of climate change on children. He also provides a vision for reframing family planning reform as an active climate policy which could advocate systemic change through one simple message: that everybody deserves a fair start in life.Planet: Critical investigates why the world is in crisis—and what to do about it.

A powerful statement on the UN Women website read, "A single moment can spark a revolution, collective actions can transform laws, creative expression can change attitudes, and an invention can alter the course of history. It's these threads that weave together to propel the women's movement — even in the face of obstacles."The history of women in government and policy is a long and complex one, marked by struggles for equality, representation, and recognition. From the early pioneers who fought for suffrage to the trailblazing women who shattered glass ceilings in politics, women have played an essential role in shaping government and policy in the United States.In 1848, the First Women's Rights Convention occurred in Seneca Falls, New York, led by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott. Both women gathered hundreds of people and demanded civil, social, political, and religious rights for women in a Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions.On March 8, 1911, the first International Women's Day was marked by more than one million people across Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland gathered for women's suffrage and labor rights.  Fast forward to 1946, in the inaugural session of the UN General Assembly, Eleanor Roosevelt read an "open letter to the women of the world," sharing the importance of women's involvement in national and international affairs.For aviation history, from 1997 to 2022, Jane Garvey became the first female Administrator of the FAA under the Clinton Administration. Garvey was the daughter of an Air Force colonel who worked as the Airport Director for Boston's Logan International Airport in the early 1990s and then served as the first Deputy Administrator for the US Federal Highway Administration for four years. Her successor was Marion Blakey, who became the 15th Administrator of the FAA.The history of women in transportation, policy, and the government is inspiring. Still, with only 28% of women in Congress, 30% of statewide elective executive offices led or co-led by women, and 31% of seats in state legislation held by women, we have a long way to go. We need more women in government and policy roles to help grow society, especially in aviation.Here are a few reasons why women should consider a career in government:Representation: Women are underrepresented in government and policy positions, so having more women in these roles is essential to bring diverse perspectives and experiences to the table.Influence: Women in government and policy can significantly impact the policies and decisions that affect the lives of women and girls. They can advocate for policies that promote gender equality, address issues such as the gender pay gap, and improve women's access to healthcare and education.Leadership: By pursuing careers in government and policy, women can become leaders and role models for other women and girls. They can demonstrate that women have the skills and expertise to lead and make a difference in society.Networking: Working in government and policy can allow women to network with other influential leaders, build relationships, and gain valuable experience and skills.Progress: Finally, women in government and policy can help drive improvement and create positive change in society. By working to promote policies that support gender equality, combat discrimination, and advance human rights, women can help make a more just and equitable world for everyone.Overall, women should consider careers in government and policy because it is a path to leadership, impact, and progress and can help increase representation and diversity in decision-making roles.

The convention was planned with five days' notice, publicized only by a small unsigned advertisement in a local newspaper. Stanton drew up the “Declaration of Sentiments” that guided the Seneca Falls Convention. Using the Declaration of Independence as her guide to proclaim that “all men and women [had been] created equal,” she drafted 11 resolutions, including the most radical demand—the right to the vote. With Frederick Douglass, a former slave, arguing eloquently on their behalf, all 11 resolutions passed, and Mott even won approval of a final declaration “for the overthrowing of the monopoly of the pulpit, and for the securing to woman equal participation with men in the various trades, professions and commerce.” Sojourner Truth Sojourner Truth Yet by emphasizing education and political rights that were the privileges of the upper classes, the embryonic feminist movement had little connection with ordinary women cleaning houses in Liverpool or picking cotton in Georgia. The single nonwhite woman's voice heard at this time—that of Sojourner Truth, a former slave—symbolized the distance between the ordinary and the elite. Her famous “Ain't I a Woman” speech was delivered in 1851 before the Women's Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio, but Truth did not dedicate her life to women's rights. Instead, she promoted abolitionism and a land-distribution program for other former slaves. In the speech, Truth remarked, “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?” Although Seneca Falls was followed by women's rights conventions in other states, the interest spurred by those first moments of organizing quickly faded. Concern in the United States turned to the pending Civil War, while in Europe the reformism of the 1840s gave way to the repression of the late 1850s. When the feminist movement rebounded, it became focused on a single issue, women's suffrage, a goal that would dominate international feminism for almost 70 years. Susan B. Anthony Susan B. Anthony After the American Civil War, feminists assumed that women's suffrage would be included in the Fifteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which prohibited disfranchisement on the basis of race. Yet leading abolitionists refuse

Sojourner Truth's Akron, Ohio speech, at the Women's Rights Convention in 1851, which is legendary, mixed with Pam Tillis' "Don't Tell Me What to Do" make the perfect pairing.

In 1851, at the second National Woman's Rights Convention held in Akron, Ohio, a runaway slave named Sojourner Truth used her compelling life as an argument in favor of gender equality. Her speech electrified the crowd and her catch phrase "Ain't I a woman?" became a battle cry for feminists. But did Truth really say the words for which she is most famous? 20th-century historians launched an effort to find out. www.ohiomysteries.com feedback@ohiomysteries.com www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries Music: Audionautix- The Great Unknown The Great Phospher- Daniel Birch  

I titled this episode “Ain't I A Woman?”: Women in the C-Suite and Trailblazing for DEI, because Zing is truly a worthy inheritor of the message and meaning behind Sojourner Truth's iconic 1851 speech to the Women's Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio. In particular, this: “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.” Zing is turning the world right side up, y'all! A successful executive, wife, mother, and advocate for diversity who represents the growth of women executives in the workplace and the impact they're having not only in that space, but in the social and political spaces, as well.

A lecture given by Mardi Keyes at L'Abri Fellowship in Southborough, Massachusetts on July 2nd, 2021. For more information, visit https://southboroughlabri.org/   THE LONG BATTLE FOR WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE IN THE UNITED STATES   Winning the right to vote was one of many goals articulated at the first American Women's Rights Convention, held in 1848 in Seneca Falls, New York.  It took 72 years to achieve.  On August 18, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the Federal Constitution was adopted.  It read, “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.”  Of all the women present at Seneca Falls, only nineteen-year-old Charlotte Woodward lived to cast her vote in the 1920 presidential election. Such a long campaign toward one goal, is unique in American History and could not have succeeded without political acumen and doggedness.  In telling the story, we will consider some of the black and white women, whose courage and determination brought about this legislative victory.  We will also consider why the opposition to women's suffrage was so strong.   The Copyright for all material on the podcast is held by L'Abri Fellowship.

Allebest: Welcome to Breaking Down Patriarchy! I'm Amy McPhie Allebest. Today's text is the speech, “The Fundamental Principle of a Republic” by Anna Howard Shaw, given in New York in 1915. Shaw argues that the fundamental principle of a republic is that its citizens get to participate in civic life, and that in denying women the right to vote, America falls short of its democratic values. As listeners might recall from our episode on the Seneca Falls Convention, the women's suffrage movement had officially begun in 1848, which means that at the point that this speech was given, women had been fighting for the right to vote for 67 years!! Can you imagine how frustrating??  Why was it taking so long? What arguments were being made against women's suffrage, that were convincing American men and American women that women should not have the right to vote? Anna Howard Shaw's oration addresses exactly those anti-suffrage arguments. This speech is included on many lists of the 50 best speeches of the entire 20th Century, and sure enough when I read it I was blown away… not only by its power, but also by its humor! Anna Howard Shaw was funny! But before we get to the speech, I want to introduce my reading partner, Amy Osmond Cook. Amy and I were neighbors and running buddies several years ago in Southern California, and we crammed years' worth of deep discussion into the year that we lived in the same neighborhood. Also, fun fact: as you may have guessed from her maiden name, Amy is the niece of Donny and Marie Osmond. She's way too humble to name-drop like that, so I'm going to do it for her. :) And we discovered after meeting that we know tons of the same people, including discovering after we had been friends for months, that my cousin is married to her sister! Amy, I absolutely adored you from the first moment I met you and I am so grateful that you agreed to do this project with me! Thanks so much for being here. Cook: Amy, the feeling is just so mutual.  Allebest: So before we start, could you tell us a little about yourself? Where you grew up and what made you the person you are today. Cook: Bio Ancestors from Born and raised in Family of origin Religion Education: undergrad PhD dissertation Career Current family Hobbies/favorite things Allebest: Thanks so much! And the other question I like to ask is what interested you in Breaking Down Patriarchy.  Cook: Interest in the project Allebest: Thanks, Amy. Ok, so in preparation for discussing this text, we need to set the stage a bit by explaining the women's suffrage movement and Anna Howard Shaw. Allebest and Cook take turns: Allebest: As a way of orienting us, here are a few highlights from a Women's Suffrage Timeline, as found on the website of  The National Women's History Museum. We'll take turns reading some important dates just so we have an understanding of what happened when.  1850 Worcester, Massachusetts, is the site of the first National Women's Rights Convention. Frederick Douglass, William Lloyd Garrison, Lucy Stone and Sojourner Truth are in attendance. A strong alliance is formed between the Women's Rights Movement and the Abolitionist Movement (and actually, as we learned in other episodes, those two movements were allied from the very beginning - the women's movement grew directly out of the Abolition movement) 1861-1865 During the Civil War, efforts for the suffrage movement come to a halt. Women put their energies toward the war effort. 1866 Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony form the American Equal Rights Association, an organization dedicated to the goal of suffrage for all, regardless of gender or race. 1868 Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Parker Pillsbury publish the first edition of The Revolution.  This periodical carries the motto “Men, their rights and nothing more; women, their rights and nothing less!” Senator S.C. Pomeroy of Kansas introduces...

Amy Welcome to Breaking Down Patriarchy! I'm Amy McPhie Allebest. Today we're going to discuss an essential text from the middle of the 19th Century, the transcript of a speech delivered at a Women's Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio in 1851. The speech is entitled “Ain't I A Woman,” and it was delivered by the great Abolitionist and Women's Rights activist, Sojourner Truth. But before we dive into the speech, I'd like to introduce my reading partner for this episode, Rayna Clay MacKay. Hi, Rayna! Rayna Hi, Amy!  Amy Rayna is a wife, mom, and Obstetric Anesthesiologist. She married a dreamy Scotsman for much more than his accent and gained two fantastic bonus kids as a result. They added three more kiddos to the mix, including identical twin boys, and A daughter. They also have the best Cavoodle in the world named Hamish!   She's a traveler by nature and has lived in over a dozen cities (thanks to medical training) across the United States. She moved from Massachusetts to Tampa Bay almost three years ago and loves the indoor-outdoor lifestyle of Florida. It's also the midway point between the California family and her husband's family in the UK. She grew up in California and Utah, which shaped her outlook on life in general. As the daughter of a single AA mother in UT, she constantly felt a sense of being other. This permeated her HS, college, and medical school (UofU) experience. While she cherishes the relationships she developed in Utah, the culture didn't mesh, and she finds that the California culture of acceptance (of all genders, religions, people, sexuality, etc.) was more aligned with her values.   Speaking of values, she values her family above all, but also loves pretty things! That includes her obsession with home renovation and decor, kids' birthday parties, and cooking beautiful, delicious food. They try to indulge their love of travel to pretty places as often as possible. She thinks this hails back to her taking a certain scripture to heart as a kiddo, "if there is anything [lovely], of good report, or praiseworthy, we seek after these things."   Her other core value is justice and equality. She is a firm believer that differences are what make us great, and they should be applauded and supported. As she's gotten older and wiser, She's found her voice becoming louder championing for the injustices in the medical system, and society as a whole. Her hope is that the future is more glorious with a rainbow of differing people and opinions that are equally acknowledged.   On any given day (outside of the hospital) you will find her hanging with the family, playing the NYT crossword or flipping through HGTV magazine while watching a British crime drama or The Crown. I'm happiest with my core people, and is delighted I get to throw it back to Freshman year with you!   Amy I also like to ask each guest on the podcast what attracted them to the Breaking Down Patriarchy project. Can you talk a little about that? Rayna Amy Thank you so much for being here, Rayna! So before we dig into this text, let's set the stage by talking a bit about Sojourner Truth, and the context in which she lived. Rayna, maybe you can take the first half of her story and I'll take the second half. Biography of Sojourner Truth  Rayna Isabella Baumfree, known as “Belle,” was one of the 10 or 12 children born to James and Elizabeth Baumfree. A man named Charles Hardenbergh bought James and Elizabeth Baumfree from slave traders and kept their family at his estate in a big hilly area called by the Dutch name https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swartekill,_New_York (Swartekill), in the town of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esopus,_New_York (Esopus, New York), 95 miles north of New York City.

It's a big week for the history of women's rights. August 26 -- Women's Equality Day -- commemorates the 1920 passage of women's suffrage in the U.S., with 19th Amendment Centennial Day.This episode is the second in a three-part series celebrating the centennial of the 19th Amendment, giving women the right to vote. Katie speaks with Coline Jenkins, great-great granddaughter of famous suffragist Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who in 1848 led the Woman’s Rights Convention, the Seneca Falls, N.Y. convention that fought for the social, civil and religious rights of women. Stanton started the convention with a speech on the convention’s goals and purpose:“We are assembled to protest against a form of government, existing without the consent of the governed—to declare our right to be free as man is free, to be represented in the government which we are taxed to support, to have such disgraceful laws as give man the power to chastise and imprison his wife, to take the wages which she earns, the property which she inherits, and, in case of separation, the children of her love.”Coline talks about her mother, Rhoda, her intrepid grandmother, Nora, and what it's like to be descended from not just one but several generations of strong women. On August 26th, the new Women's Rights Pioneers Monument will be unveiled in New York City's Central Park. NBC's Today Show will stream the event live via the MonumentalWomen.org website, starting at 7:45 a.m.Please add to the Our Mothers Ourselves audio word montage with a single word to describe your mother.

In 1851, at the second National Woman's Rights Convention held in Akron, Ohio, a runaway slave named Sojourner Truth used her compelling life as an argument in favor of gender equality. Her speech electrified the crowd and her catch phrase "Ain't I a woman?" became a battle cry for feminists. But did Truth really say the words for which she is most famous? 20th-century historians launched an effort to find out. www.ohiomysteries.com feedback@ohiomysteries.com www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries Music: Audionautix- The Great Unknown The Great Phospher- Daniel Birch

July 20. Frederick Douglass. Douglass was born into slavery, found a way out for himself, worked to free others, and then used his new position to work toward freedom for other groups of people. On this date in 1866, Douglass spoke at the First Women's Rights Convention.  Knowledge can be the pathway to freedom; gain it. Use it.  Born into slavery in […] The post Frederick Douglass, US, Abolitionist first appeared on 365 Christian Men.

On this date in 1851, African American abolitionist and women's rights activist Sojourner Truth attended the Ohio Women's Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio, where she delivered an impromptu speech that became known as Ain't I a Woman? Given the current visible violence on human beings who are Black, which is but a highlighted fraction of centuries of ongoing genocidal illness, my soul urges me to share this small book with you now. Father to Son: Ode to Black Boys was born, like Sojourner's speech, as an impromptu keynote speech as a last minute replacement for our precious poet, Nikki Giovanni, at a 2001 statewide conference on the African American male, organized and hosted by the African American Advisory Council, of the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services. The Spirit that filled me, the room, and the entire audience of nearly a thousand souls, remains the most powerful collective Spirit I have experienced as a speaking vessel in this work. I am also making this audio book freely available on my YouTube channel, on Audible, and on my Instagram TV.

On May 29, 1851 a former slave gave a speech at the annual Women's Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio which would go down as one of the most powerful speeches in American history. That slave had changed her name to Sojourner Truth, and she's the topic our latest episode. Mrs. Allgood will explore Truth's difficult upbringing as a slave in upstate New York, how she ultimately gained her freedom, and the loneliness that often accompanied her struggles as a black woman abolitionist fighting not only against slavery, but inequality experienced by women. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/allgood-rixondjo/message

On July 11, 1848, a local newspaper ran an advertisement announcing a meeting that would happen a week later at the Wesleyan Chapel in Seneca Falls, New York — the first American Women’s Rights Convention. Today on America's National Parks - The Women's Rights National Historical Park in Seneca Falls, New York. Despite the minimal publicity, an estimated 300 attendees filled co-organizer Elizabeth Cady Stanton's event. Stanton made her first public speech on the initial day of the convention, and read aloud the Declaration of Sentiments, which was then discussed at length. Stanton quickly became a leader in the crusade for women's rights, as well as for the abolition of slavery. She gave hundreds of speeches over the course of her life, but it was her final speech, before Congress, entitled The Solitude of Self, that left her with the most pride. Delivered in 1892, the speech declared that as no other person could face death for another, none could decide for them how to educate themselves.

Get Out the Vote  Letter to the Editor (https://standupandspeakoutgc.org/2018/10/15/letter-to-the-editor/) Here’s the text for this week’s letter we are planning to send to the editor to encourage friends and neighbors to vote. If you would like to use this text to write to your own paper feel free: Dear Friends and Neighbors, This year we celebrate an historic moment for women, the passage of the 19th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution by the House of Representatives in 1918, which states, “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.” Yes, we are celebrating 100 years of the right for women to vote! And a very important reason to vote in the upcoming election on November 6th this year. “In 1848, in Seneca Falls, NY, five women gathered frustrated by the inequalities they faced as women. They decided to call for a Woman’s Rights Convention to discuss the social, civil and religious condition and rights of woman.” They issued the Declaration of Sentiments signed by 68 women and 32 men. Among other things, it called for the right of women to vote . It took 72 long years and numerous acts of courage for voting to come to fruition for these women. Women should march in unison to their voting booths to show their appreciation for the efforts of these women. Many of Long Island’s women joined back then in the effort to change their lives. Elizabeth Oakes Smith of Patchogue, spoke out, “Let women learn to take a woman’s view of things. Let her not say, what does my husband, my brother, my father think, wise and good and trustworthy though they be ~ but let her evolve her own thought, recognize her own needs, and judge of her own acts by the best lights of her own mind.” Judge what is important to YOU, YOUR family, friends, and neighbors and VOTE!

Leigh Fought is an assistant professor of history at Le Moyne College. Her book Women in the World of Frederick Douglass (Oxford University Press, 2017) offers a detailed and rich portrait of Frederick Douglass' private and public life and his many relationships with women. From his enslaved mother Harriet, Sophia Auld the slave mistress that sparked his interest in reading, to his wife of forty-four years Anna Murray, daughter Rosetta and his white second wife Helen Pitts; these were the women who populated his private world. From each he learned lessons about the workings of race, gender and class in America and prepared him to collaborate with many antislavery women including Julia Griffiths, Maria Weston Chapman and Amy Post. He saw his fight for abolition as part of “woman's cause” bringing him into contact with Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. Seeing himself as “woman's rights man,” who had attended the Seneca Falls Woman's Rights Convention in 1848, he was perplexed by the betrayal of many woman's rights advocates. Fought fills in much of what is lacking in the female “empty space” in the study of Douglass allowing a fuller understanding of his life and ideas. This is an invaluable contribution to Douglass studies. Lilian Calles Barger, www.lilianbarger.com, is a cultural, intellectual and gender historian. Her current book project is tentatively entitled The World Come of Age: Religion, Intellectuals and the Challenge of Human Liberation is forthcoming from Oxford University Press in 2018.
