Good thesis statement help for research paper on women's movement?

Hi, I'm doing a research paper on the women's movement and how hard it was for women to gain equal rights. I'm stuck for a good thesis statement. Any ideas/help?

    I'd compare/contrast women's rights (esp voting) to black rights.

    For instance, when both the black vote and woman vote were on the table for discussion, many suffrage groups stepped down in support of black rights, while others thought it unfair that blacks got the vote before they did.

    Lots of research points and an easy compare/contrast paper.

    Something like... "In the United States, both women and blacks have endured limitations on their rights based on discrimination"

    (it's rough, but you get the jist)

    It doesn't sound like you have to make an argument, per say, so I'd just compare the two, also look at influential leaders and what they had to say about one another, for instance Elizabeth Cady Stanton or Susan B Anthony & Fredrick Douglass.

    Like I said, compare and contrast, easy 'A'.

    EDIT: ooh, also, some suffrage groups deliberately refused to support black rights so that they could gain the support of southern women who were inherently racist against blacks gaining voting rights, while others supported them fervently to gain the support of northern abolitionist women.

    Without playing games, don’t be available 100% of the time or let your life be an open book. A man that comes on too strong or doesn’t have outside interests will scare a woman away just as much as it would if the circumstances were reversed. Read here https://tr.im/wYGIv

    Women don’t want to feel as though they are completely responsible for your happiness and that is what it feels like when the other person has no outside interests. Men who are overeager or jump when the woman says jump are the ones who are more likely to end up in the friend zone. This doesn’t mean that you should play the game of not calling for a few days; it means that you should set healthy boundaries until you both naturally find a spot for the other in your lives.

    Do research on Nellie McClung and her league from the turn of the century in the early 1900's you'll be sure to get an excellent report because they are the true feminists that stood up for what was important as opposed to the catty broads you see now a days who have labelled themselves feminists.

    I just did a paper on the history of the women's movement last semester. If you want me to e-mail as an attachment, let me know. It might give you a few good ideas.

    If you wish to be much more appealing for a female you need this book https://tr.im/ErxMf , The Tao of Badass which will “convert you” right into a guy who draws all the women.

    The Tao of Badass is a famous step-by-step process for picking right up girls that is proven to work for anyone. Regardless of age, looks or how new you are around women. The system shows you how to become ‘that guy'who is wanted by lots of women.

    The Tao of Badass  it does allow you to ‘that man'by arming you with the data of why you need to be like ‘that man'whilst providing you all the pick up abilities you will need to become ‘that person'who girls are attracted to.

    Contrast feminists who believe that looking beautiful is the key to feeling empowered, with feminists who think that this 'empowerment' is all part of patriarichal culture. Women feel empowered because they are beautiful because of this culture.. it is not supposed to be this way.. women are not supposed to feel 'free' because they are sexier.
