Abortion And The Women's Movement :
It is naturally
assumed and probably correct that the women's movement
began in the latter two decades of the nineteenth century. By
the early 1930's, it was believed that gender roles had been
culturally constructed in such a manner as to preclude such
access by perpetrating a system of subjugation and beliefs that
women were inferior to men. This opened the gates to
advocating changes in social structure and cultural norms.
From a women's history point of view the issue of abortion has
run the gamut from total opposition to advocating for safe and
economic access. The nineteenth-century women's rights
advocates were unanimous in opposing abortion. This 5 page
paper presents, in essay form, a brief history of the women's
movement and the changes in attitude, within the movement,
concerning abortion. KTfemmov.wps Abortion /
