**Women's Rights in America** Women have always been "less than". They were denied the right to vote, own property, and maintain wages in the "Land of the Free" for many years. Similarly, Nora from Ibsen's //Dollhouse// is given fewer rights. "Ten-twenty-thirty-forty. Oh, thank you, Torvald..." (Ibsen 45). This an example of how Nora demeaningly earns an allowance from her husband, Torvald. However a number of events in the past couple of hundred of years have allowed women to progressively gain the same rights as men. Some of the most important events that influenced the progression of women's rights are: the ratification of the fourteenth amendment, the Civil War, World War II, and the Equal Pay Act. Individual pages for each of these events are located on the left of the web page and below the photo. Click the links to learn more about how they helped the movement of women's rights!
