[cheering and applause] >>, as well as many women leaders serving on our commissions and boards. can we have a wave from our women's commission and board members. [applause] >> so we mark 100 years since the passage of the 19th amendment. it's important to remember that as the sixth state to ratify the 19th amendment, california has played a major role in the suffrage movement. newly uncovered historical sources put together by the neighborhood history project indicates that san francisco was a site of the first ever suffrage march in 1908. over 100 years ago, suffrage leaders picketed the white house, went to jail, endured intense personal suffering

working class women, immigrant women, women of color, unmarried women that have always worked. right? which women are we talking about when we say women began to work during world war ii? >> middle class white women. >> middle class white women. right? we are talking about middle class white women. this expansion into this area that people didn't work before. right? then a second group tied in there is mothers. right? more mothers are going to work in world war ii than worked before. right? so it's a shift from working class women, immigrant women, women of color working, right, to that expansion of middle class white women, right? so that's what we see portrayed in these posters. right? look at these women. right? first of all, their teeth are perfect, right, which did not happen in the 1940s. they have their eyebrows just right, hair just right. right? they are beautiful. right? this is not what most people ever look like let alone in the '40s. right? right? this idea of who the target is. right? who is the target for the working? because this is the group that we have in exc

the women. right? the women. and so you know, a lot of the women are married, we talked about there are all sorts of, you know, quick weddings going on, and there are people who have been married for a while, as well. and this idea of how do you get by, right, if you're a household with a husband and a wife, in this time period, you know, it's a partnership, and each has their role, and they're much more defined roles in world war ii than they are say today. so this idea of how are you going to do both your job as the wife, and often the mother, and the job of the husband? how do you do this? so this is a very popular book, this came out in 1942 "so your husband's gone to war" and this idea of what do you do? how do you get through it? and you can see from the cover here. tackling male chores. because chores were defined by a male and female, who is going to do which job. and any single woman, any widow, any woman like that, does everything, right? you guys, if you live on your own, you do your own thing. you put

women in the nation. since 1975, san francisco has been the home of the strongest commission on the status of women in the nation. it's my pleasure to welcome you to the annual women's history month celebration. this year we celebrate the national theme of valiant women of the vote. we honor the brave women who fought for suffrage rights for women and those who continue to fight for the voting rights of others. i'm very pleased to say we're joined by many members of the family. if you could hold your applause, we'll give them a big applause after. carmen chu, board of supervisors norman yee, catherine stephanie, sandra lee fewer, and fire chief nicholson, and police chief william scott. so let's give them a big round of applause for showing up today. [applause] >> i also like to recognize women's commissioner sophia and julie from the commission on the status of women. [applause] >> also joining us is president linda calhoun, and lisa of the friends on the commission of the status of women. [applause] >>

women in challenging the stereotypes about appropriate roles for women. in world war ii, the tractorette s, this was an initiative that international harvester was centrally involved in, the equipment dealer. this was an effort, again you had men going off to war, who was going to produce the food? how can we sustain the farm? so we needed more women to be engaged in farm work. there was a whole program, there are beautiful pictures of outdoor classrooms, you had dealers go out and train women and educate women, they had to learn how to operate machinery, attach implements, how to fix the equipment and do different farm work if they were not familiar with it. again, a nice example. we often assume a lot about what we think men and women can do and should do, and often we continue to think that until something disrupts our thinking, and i think these historical examples about what women did in world war i and world war ii, which we know they are doing all the time within the family farm, it's just that the rest of society often doesn't know it because of h

you had dealers go out and train women, educate women so women had to learn how to operate machinery, attach, how to fix the equipment and, of course, do different farm work if they weren't familiar with it. so, again, a nice example. we often assume a lot about what we think men and women can do, should do, and often we continue to think that until something disrupts their thinking, and i think these historical examples about what women did in world war i and world war ii, which we know they're doing all the time within the family farm. it's just that the rest of society often doesn't know it. because of how we talk about farm families and men and women. so how many of these ideals, beliefs, the stereotypes challenge. so just to conclude, so what we're trying to do today is agrarian ideology which has been with us, which jefferson was a powerful proponent of, played a critical role in shaping how we as a society think about family farms. how we as a society think about men and women on the farms. how we identify who's a real farmer and implicit in there, who's not a real farmer? and

the women. right? the women. so a lot of the women are married. we talked about there are all sorts of quickie weddings going on. but people who have been married for a while as well decide, how do you get by? if you're a household with a husband and a wife in this time period, you know, it's a partnership and each has their role and they're much more defined roles in world war ii than today. so this idea of how are you going to do both your job as the wife and often the mother, and the job of the husband? how do you do this? this is a very popular book, this came out in 19 42. so your husband's gone to war. this idea of what do you do? how do you get through it? you can see from the cover tackling male chorse. because chores were defined by male and female,. and any woman, any widow, any woman like that does everything. right? if you live on your own you do your own thing, put your own libet bulbs in make your own repairs. but this book gives some guidance. this book to help women know how to do those little maintenance jobs that they needed to.

women of color.ou have extraordinary women born into slavery, fighting against slavery, and forcibly joining, saying, these are our rights too. can you imagine how powerful it was for african-american women to get the vote? the great thing for me and all of us at the museum, nothing is preordained. it is all of the choices we make and it is those men who walked into their state houses and chose to vote for the 19th amendment. >> which states lead the way in that process? --led the way in that process, during the ratification process? >> it varied. the big states were in favor of it. a lot of it became, if women got the vote and could vote in the 1920 election, became part of the chess game for that, -- chess game for that, there were already women and men who were used to having women vote. the big states who wanted to swing the election of 2020 to the republicans were among the most ardent supporters. >> you talked about the declaration of sentiments earlier and we showed viewers a picture of that t

it was a victory for women's rights but not for all women.or perspective, i sat down with three historians, ann gordon, the pre-eminent scholar on the women's suffrage movement and the editor of the elizabeth cady stanton and susan b anthony papers at rutgers university, marcia chatelain, an associate professor of history and african american studies at georgetown university, and maggie blackhawk, a law professor at the university of pennsylvania and a member of the ojibwe tribe . talk to me about the long very long fight for women who were trying to get to write to vote and -- the right to vote and who were some of them the boldface names if you will who were leading this charge? ann gordon: well the the central people from the early stages of the movement to change the law were elizabeth cady stanton, susan b anthony, lucy stone. and then you really spread out very fast because it's a movement that spread very fast. and it only was a long time in coming because men wouldn't say yes. the decisions were always going to be made by men who had

six women have been selected to pave the way for future women in naval aviation.y are expected to perform the same as men. they go through the same classes, same drills, same exercises come and they fly the same planes. on may 10, 1973, lieutenant judith nupur became the first woman to solo in a navy aircraft when she took off from the naval air station -- t-34 from the naval air station. >> it was a very good feeling to know that i had actually taken that plane off and brought it back home all my own. it was definitely a feeling of satisfaction, the feeling of having gotten over one hurdle. and i think it helped to sort of build a little confidence -- of build a little confidence, that we are in the program, we can fly the planes and we are able to cope with the pressures and the rigorous training that we are involved in. >> our navy strength lies in the fact that individuals are given the chance to show what they can do, black or white, male or female, the opportunity is there. these women prove it. the ladies who wear the navy blue. (music) >> on lectures in hi

women ea women's domestic role was important. paul harvey talked quickly, but he has a line about the farmer worked all day in the fields and then he comes and eats supper and goes and spends all evening at a school board. we what doesn't get mentioned, comes and eats his supper. who did the shopping or the cooking or doing the dishes? who did the work that allowed you to come in from the fields and who put the kids to bed and bathed and so forth? again, it's not to diminish either people's roles, which are both important, but to fully acknowledge both of them. okay? so this idea that women's reproductive work is often undervalued. that it's seen not as work but as natural. it's like women just do this automatically. you know? we're naturally mothers. we naturally want to care. we naturally want to cook and clean and so forth. so what i want to finish up with now is in this class, moving forward, we're going to think about the different ways that this agrarian ideology is changing, has been challenged and is changing. and what i

for women. so in the final decision the court -- they spoke of a number of different precedents including griswold versus connecticut which was created 10 times in the final roe decision and i'm quoted from the decision of roe v. wade. the right of the individual married or single to be free from unwarranted government intrusion into matters so fundamentally affecting a person as the decision whether to bear or beget a child. and of course they ultimately conclude, and i quote, that right necessarily includes the right of a woman to decide whether or not to terminate her pregnancy. in terms of a legal matter, all these ethical debates we have about abortion today, you all saw of course the protests that were out on polk place a couple weeks ago? how many of you saw those? obviously there's a lot of conversations happening out there. they're using a certain sort of tactic. but legally it's not about morality or religion. it's just not. there's a question that individuals certainly have to deal wi

our women do not want to go different to compete. lo and behold, a lot of women did. it was not just ethnic immigrants or lower-class women, but it was upper-class women who .layed tennis or wanted to swim the president of the aau said, the women have found the games. we cannot control it. we only can control them. two years later, you see women's athletic events being added to the stateside competition and into the olympic games by 1928. >> based on what you were talking about earlier, the idea of a negro league, was that a good thing or a bad thing from your perspective? hard to say ifs it was good or bad. it was what it was. it was a time of jim crow when we had state sanctioned violence and rampant segregation against -- around the country. black businesses, black wall street, banks, schools, everything out of born -- everything born out of segregation was born out of necessity. we are going to provide for ourselves since you -- since we are like out of your l. .ague -- your league the games became a place to congregate, to show off your finest furs, to see role m

it's not superman just are better sales persons and can present themselves better than women women are often way to humble but that's not all smarter rob thanks another reason why women have such a disadvantage in the tech industry lies in our past take as much as a topic for women as it is for men but i think that has to do maybe it with upbringing and how we were educated stead's technical topics i'm more of a male domain than a female domain. the result women have to fight harder for venture capital for their startups and they granted less take made us take deals in $2800.00 for example main run startups acquired billions in investments while female run startups. didn't get a fraction of that what causes such a big investment. ideas research has found that men and women are treated differently even when they pitch. studies show when pitching their new ideas to investors prospective female founders are often treated differently than their male counterparts gender stereotypes are partly to blame for that behavioral scientists don accounts can demonstrate this simply based on the quest

yes celebrate women's achievements but in 2020 millions of girls and women around the world continue to fight against the odds that deprived of an education and jobs condemned to a life of poverty and violence their voices silenced and afghanistan women are rising up to protect their hard won rights now understood it by the return of the taliban in the u.s. the world's most powerful democracy dreams of the 1st female president dashed again after another strong woman candidate bites the dust women in power and powerless women will the world ever know gender parity and what will it take a male iraq this is the day. of the month during the taliban period i stayed at home and unfortunately couldn't go to school like thousands of other girls suffer from within 2 or 3 months of the future of afghanistan will be in the hands of the taliban's on that the taliban have suppressed women for years to come out of our youth will not be running for president in 2020 but i guarantee i will stay in the fight and really stand out i love the list with laura and i wanted her to be our 1st woman presiden

our women don't want to go to france to compete in the games but low and behold a lot of women did. and it wasn't just ethnic immigrants or quote/unquote lower class women but upper class women who played tennis or wanted to swim and they also wanted to go to the world games. and so famously the president of the a.u. said the women have found the games, we cannot control it, we cannot bar them any more. we only can control them. and so two years later you see women's athletic events being added to the stateside competitions, the a.u. competition and then into the olympic games in earnest by 1928. >> and based on what you were talking about earlier, professor, the idea of a negro league, was that a good thing or a bad thing from your perspective? >> yeah, well, i think that it's hard to say if it was good or bad. it is what it was. it was a time of jim crow. where we had state sanctioned violence and rampant segregation across the country and really blackball players had no other choice. the negro leagues like negro colleges and black businesses, black wall street, banks, schools, ev

well my 1st guest is an american at women's rights activists and a board member of the women for women group that helps to mystic abuse victims and afghanistan and to discuss this crucial moment for women in afghanistan i'd like to welcome now masood assault on who is joining us from new york a very good day how would you describe the state of women's rights in afghanistan today. lives is one of the. things you're badly since 2001 when the u.s. and international community started to. create a lot of development projects for afghanistan and. were efforts there so women's indicators on the show and what talib. education the fact that girls were not allowed to go to school back then now they are and life expectancy and access to health clinics have all improved in fact afghanistan has been moving forward in a lot of indicators however afghan women have have been starting from a very low point and so and afghanistan is a very difficult country it has a lot of poverty the poverty rate has gone from 36 percent in 2002 to 55 percent now and those include women so women's progress has been mad

deputy directors of museums or women or curatorial staffs that are 85 percent women and women and women of color are the most represented aspects of their permanent collection it's because of statement because there are a lot of white women in museums that believe that. you know what is interesting is that she's an anchor woman who i'm sure in the history of news she is standing on the shoulders of those before her believe had to fight through news to get to that position so it's kind of ironic to me as she's making that statement because at the end you know regardless of your color the challenge is intense but as you know to me you know sometimes i feel like it is women also the drag us down you know i mean and this is why i think you know that more women need to be supportive as well and to understand this was shot and for me in my position as an artist you know there are many challenges that i have to encounter but at the same time what i see is that you know everybody needs to be educated and especially when you look at the american market which a lot of the times and you know i had

women. and that's going to be another theme of my stock. to talk about the women voter is -- makes almost no sense in american politics. here, i want to talk about women, depending upon where they livid. so this is showing you turnout of, again, women in purple, men in gold, in ten american states. and i'm going to try to speak -- i can't read it very well here. virginia is at the end, our own massachusetts is next. connecticut, oklahoma, minnesota, kansas, illinois, iowa, missouri, and kentucky. and what i hope you can see is that there's a huge variation, depending on where you lived in what's women's turnout look like in 1920. in some places, women's turnout was incredibly low. fewer than 10% turned out to vote in virginia in 1920. only a little bit higher, just around 20%, here in massachusetts and in connecticut. on the other hand, there were other places where the turnout of women was actually quite impressive. more than half of women took advantage of the right to vote the first time

are very capable women in. the government maybe hear them more so that we can eradicate peace under me which is violence against women so let me just bring in just a little bite from present lopressor over door so that our general audience can hear what he thinks about this idea of drunk based violence in mexico so this was for me the 17th let's have a listen. mexican society has fallen into decline a progressive dark relation that has to do with the neo liberal models this isn't solved just with police or with presence or with threats of a heavy hand we have to address the background here that there be material well being and well being of a soldier. on our live you tube chat people are talking about the idea of impunity in mexico so he samarian he says i am mexican and the real problem is the lack of justice not only in the area femicide but him mexico we have 90 percent of impunity in every single felony 100 go ahead yes and i do completely agree it should not only the impunity unfamous saves for me actually

we all know women who are leaders and women who are collegial and women who are loners and men who are exactly the same. because that becomes a belief when you see a woman who's collegial or you see a man who is a leader even when you see it in yourself you immediately start to notice that when you discard all the others. it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy what we expect to see becomes what we do become in many ways. >> i noted when you said that in the book that women do have learned behaviors to succeed in many ways i don't know many of us a better choice but to be legal. when we are not that's really a problem. >> of course it's a learned behavior. shirley tolman, the former president of princeton, a microbiologist, told me that when she was younger and a scientist, she used to close her eyes and tried to imagine a scientist and when she was able to picture a man as often as she could picture a woman she knew she was okay. i told that story to another woman scientist who was interviewing later and she said that's amazing because when i close my eyes i can't even picture myself. i

sorry friends women's football is not up for debate anymore. you can love it you can hate it you can even say it's not football but stuff like a tainted thing because it's here to say. t.v. viewership has never been higher stadiums are starting to get packed up. and brands are starting to invest in an untapped market which represents. 50 percent of the population. tell you florence you know her as a judge on the bandwagon and thanks to some countries like england have gone all in with a massive movement. other countries like germany who started to stagnate are now starting to follow suit. so even i don't know the names of those who go in the future and i'm going to tell you why but before you figure out why that is going to go ahead england and germany i think clash at wembley in front of a sellout crowd. europe's historic power germany versus the continent's new gold standard england in $25.00 total clashes england's only managed to beat germany wants this game however isn't even about the result it's about the record crowd of over 77000 peopl

they rank men above women in islam. this is a culture doesn't encourage women to speak out for themselves. most. women are simply afraid to talk with a me will he had the courage to speak up yet she feels that she has to remain silent in public for fear of repercussions. no one should be able to live in fear of speaking up. to chance what industry is still very male dominated around the world including in africa but in a country like kenya more and more women are venturing into the transport business we met one of these women in nairobi who is braving the challenges and making a bold statement. for carolina song the day begins at 5 am it's dark and the neighborhood isn't the safest but her job demands an early start . to conduct on one of my robi's buses on my tattoos at the local. single mom the job pays the school fees for 2 sons an adopted child and her sister . it doesn't mean a lot because even a month when you can imagine when that we're taking my 1st one in 41 we were 15 i think who are only. even my mother said

for college campuses the unc women's center, the department of women studies opens in 1976. all over the country you have women studies the enters that open. they also protest and call for what is known as the equal rights amendment. the late 1960s, women's rights activist to gain ground here in terms of adding a new amendment to the constitution that deal specifically with sex and sex discrimination. equal rights amendment you are a. this idea it's pretty old the schools all the way back to the 1920s it was really revive to the early 19 sixties for the national organization of women picking up this fight once again called this equal rights amendment. supporters of the equal rights amendment, they argue that constitution needed a unique amendment that dealt specifically which under sex discrimination. ruth bader ginsburg in 1973 argue this. the equal rights amendment and some, would dedicate the new view and rights of responsibilities of men and women. if firmly rejects sharp legislative lines between the sexes as constitutionally tolerable. instead it looks to a legal syste

women gives a voice to the women of our world. i was ashamed. i was told i was dirty. i thought i might bleed to death. for a lot of young women the 1st menstruation is a frightening experience and in many societies prejudice and alienation make matters worse in some countries around home for all girls school when they're having their period and expensive sanitary products and poor hygiene conditions mean it's common for women not to work when menstruating either which has a financial impact on earnings sometimes menstruation even threatens livelihoods and women turn to drastic measures to stop it. is a sugarcane harvester she's only $34.00 but already she's physically barely able to perform the work. 8 years ago she had a hysterectomy to stop or periods she couldn't afford to miss a day or 2 of work whenever she was menstruating but the surgery left her with serious health problems. how would that i'm in constant pain i have to take medication every day my whole body hurts my back my head my legs everything hurts. fieldworkers in india earn very little and none as lit

women like her are astra sized and roll bangladesh. so-called tiger widows are blamed for their husband's misfortune and become pariahs just when they need help the most. and i worked as a maid and fished in the river to raise my children after my husband's death. i received some money after he died. i used to build these hearts but the cycle and took it away again. and when i don't know what i'll do my. poverty tribesman into the sunderbans forest in search of honey wood and fish. and right into the path of hungry tigers. apex predators now competing with humans for space as climate change and development shrink their natural habitat. on average 50 people are killed by tigers each year a stroke of bad luck that haunts the families left behind. by people often say i am a bad cursed woman. found the fact that they say my husband was killed because i bad mouth somebody. they keep blaming me for his death. a local charity works to reintegrate. back into society. but change is slow and the sunderbans. close by and superstition dies hard. w

for women. okay, gives them more power of their reproductive lives, it allows them to discreetly control the number of children that they have. it's birth control that is effective and does not rely on a man's cooperation. and it's not just for single women by any means. a lot of married women also take the pill because it enables them to take control of the size of their family. that's not just a decision about how many babies you want to have, it's an economic decision and a labor decision. more people would have used the pill, but it was not legal everywhere. i know, that's hard for us to wrap our head around. the pill was actually outlawed in several states until 1965. enter some of our activists, ellen griswold. i'm sorry. estell griswold. the state of connecticut had this old law passed in 1879 that made it illegal to use a contraception or advising others how to use or access contraceptions. we could be fined and receive a light prison sentence for helping people use contraception. with t

for both women men and women there is a drop off. if you live in a place with lots of laws you will not see much of a turnout. but the drop off as i hope you can see is even greater for women than it is for men. these were brand-new voters trying to learn the ropes things that discouraged voting or even more likely to discourage women's voting. we can see something similar for competition. here purple is democratic one party places, so the south. gold, republican places most of the north and the west, and the few competitive examples that we have, again that same pattern across the men and women, but it bigger impact for women of the sorts of laws. i will stop and make another point. i want you to be watching throughout as i'm showing you lots and lots of graphs, that while there are always the gender differences, the patterns are still the same. it turns out that men and women are both rational, reasonable human beings who pay some attention to politics and have used on the sorts of things, and so given the resistance, the generatio

if we think of women voters and politicians think of women voters as soccer moms -- white women who live in the suburbs and drive minivans, they will craft their appeals, they will design public policy to appeal to what they have in mind as a woman voter. that white married women in the suburbs are not actually a very large proportion of the electorate. they become less so over time. we know aboutnk women voters and what do we actually know? i will start with the very first -- the twitter hot takes a about women in the 1920's. the very first conventional wisdom about women voters was this idea that women suffrage had been a failure. these are headlines from 1923 and 1924. this might be the only talk you see this year where one of the headlines is from good housekeeping as well as "the "harpers" post," magazine, etc.. this was something scholars tended to believe as well. for reasons i can talk more about, we actually have very, about womendata voters immediately after suffrage. as you are probably aware, citizens do not placed pink and blue ballots into ballot boxes, and so from the offi

from the black press than other women playing in sports against white women or other black women. them playing against men was something different and symbolized in many people's opinions a really bad chapter, a really bad moment in the black community, with the destruction of the negro leagues. steve: did these individuals, did they consider themselves to be role models or, maybe put better, trailblazers? professor davis: i think there was a sense of it. a lot of them just wanted to play ball. they wanted to be considered as athletes, and they understood that this was the way in the door. you see a negotiation of that. syd pollock, the all-american girls professional baseball league, wanted to put toni stone in a dress uniform and she said, absolutely not, i'm a ballplayer and am here to play ball in that way. what i think you see through them, though, in all of their stories, they have a narrative of looking and seeing the girls and women who flood the stands to see them. toni stone particularly is barnstorming with a the bus full of men. they roll into towns and sometimes she i

of the city helps women in distress . that you met here when you got a book that used tells the social worker that 3 years ago she was the victim of a knife attack a man began pestering her. when she rebuffed him he slashed her face and her hands . but even now years later the wounds are still painful yanetta. buy some gloves to protect yourself. yes i still need to find something to cover up the sky. i think you have to live with them. yes i must live with them but people are always asking me what happened. last night i had. meanwhile i'm on has rebuilt her life she has her own apartment works and a hotel and as lots of plans for the future but she still suffers from accusations that somehow she bears some responsibility for the attack and that if you look at the look in the rocker there's a saying a blow always hits the woman the hardest. but often i hear oh you are likely wearing too much make up made yourself look too pretty and you provoked but that's not true you know that. not all of the cases at the counseling cen
