Explain how you might recruit other women to support the following causes, improving good education, housing reform, food and drug laws, the right to vote?
Many women of the previous century had to home school their children. One thing that might attract women to help would be free and better education if they worked in the schools. This could allow them to work an easier job and not have to teach their kids. Another part of education would be women's colleges. With good education being offered women now had the opportunity to hold better positions and have better jobs. In the previous century women would have to boil their own water and which was time consuming, they also did not have a stove in their houses and if they did it was not a very sanitary stove, such as having a chimney. In the new houses called tenements, hot water and working stoves were readily available. Congress passed the Food and Drug Laws, which in theory, eliminated the opium, cocaine, and alcohol from children's medicines; also the laws, attempted to eliminate the amount of foreign substances being put into food produce. This would be increasingly desirable by women, especially; mothers. The right to vote is definitely a given. Women in the previous centuries were completely restricted and prohibited from partaking in any political matters. Women would jump at the idea of having some form of political power.
