Part 2
1. The insight these accounts offer us about the experiences of the women in the civil rights movement is the humiliation and hard work these women went through to stand up for what they believed in .Through Diane Nash experiences of being involved in most of the major civil rights demonstrations of the 1960s we can see women’s active support to make a difference in what they believed in to pave the way for the nest generation. Women participated in their communities by supplying others with shelter and support and also communicating with the civil rights movement.
2. During the Civil Rights activities there were many obstacles faced. Many black women were frightened for their safety to vote. Furthermore, these activities were faced with violence, humiliation, Social pressures, treats, and even more severe deaths. Moreover, on top of all this Southern White Americans used financial and political powers to go against the civil rights movement and hold up any of their activities.
Part 1
1. I believe that in Betty Friedan’s book, Feminine Mystique what she has to say is accurate. “In her book she addresses how women have been encouraged to
Detain themselves to the narrow roles of domestic housewife’s and mothers.” Also she goes on to speaking of how they neglect to participate in education and career aspirations which I believe what was taking place. I also believe Betty Friedan’s perspective of women being held against participating the household and being held from education due to World War II and the Cold War was also accurate. This targeted problems working women faced. It opened many doors for women along with political activism.
2 During the Civil Rights Movement of 1960s it was a huge turning point for women’s political participation. Women began participating and joining organizations. One of the major factors due to this turning point for women was the Creation of the Presidents Commission on the status during 1961. This targeted problems of the working women’s discrimination.

3. Due to Civil Rights movement taking place many opportunities opened up for non-white women. For example, Dolores Huerta and Fannie Lou Hamer were able to participate in various political activities. This gave way for women to step up and take on more important and leadership roles. Also this opened up doors for women to show their true leadership skills and raise their voices. For example, Fannie Lou Hamer joined such causes to make the blacks citizens and equal of others and Dolores Huerta worked beside Cesar Chavez. Women were being more recognized and able to participate beside great men leaders.
