The earliest organised movement for equal rights for women as far as I know was during the French Revolution. The Revolutionary government granted women some important rights, like the right for a married woman to divorce her husband for cruelty or neglect, to retail control of her own property after marriage etc. A group of women activitsts such as pauline leon and the actress Claire Lacombe formed the Society of Revolutionary Republican Women in May 1793, which favoured equal rights for women. it became the object of suspicion of the Committee of Public Safety and General Security, which closed it down in October 1793. It wasn't until the mid 19th century that women began to organise themselves in really significant numbers. The Senecca Falls Convention in 1848, organised by Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth cAdy Stanton, laid down specific goals to work for, including better education for women, better employment opportunities for working women, more rights for mArried women etc. Elizabeth cdy Stanton even went so far as to insist on votes for women, which some of the women at the conference thOught was going too far. The Conference was generally ridiculed in the press, but the women persisted and after the Civil War more women joined the struggle for equal rights.
Women took the activism they learned as civil rights workers and applied, and their goals were to <span>concentrate on the fight for their own equality.</span>
The 15th Amendment to the Constitution granted African American men the right to vote by declaring that 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 race, color, or previous condition of servitude."
(It gave African American men a voice in government.)
As part of the war effort, the U.S. government also attempted to guide economic activity via centralized price and production controls administered by the War Industries Board, the Food Administration, and the Fuel Administration.
<span>I think you forgot to give the options along with the question. I am answering the question based on my knowledge and research. A primary source for getting specific information on a particular bill is the Congress record. I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your desired help.</span>
