Equal Rights AmendmentThis is simply a short "article" naming off the parts of the Equal Rights Amendment written by Alice Paul who was a member of NOW (National Organization for Women). It takes the time to name off the three sections of the amendment. The first section explaining how there is to be equality for all. The second section expressing how the Congress has the right to make provisions. And the third section expresses how and when the amendment will be put into action.
This amendment shows how times were changing and laws were being fitted to the ideals of this time.Many women, after and during the first world war, had begun to take on the roles of men and demanded to be treated as an equal. An example of women who began to demand the same equality was Margaret Sanger who fought for her right to birth control. The ultimate goal of this was so that she had control and say of what she does with her OWN body and that no man could tell her how she should.

"I Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier" 19115This is a simple, yet powerful song written in 1915 by Alfred Bryan. It tells about a group of mothers who do not want their boys and sons to join a war to most likely get killed in. They talk about how heartbreaking it would be to lose their son and how it is for their sons to kill other sons, causing worldwide emotional pain to mothers.
This little song is significant because it truly embodied the ideals and opinions of American citizens who did not want to be involved in war and preferred their isolationist way of life in the US. It also gives countless soldiers going to war a face, a face of an innocent little boy who is still precious in the hearts and minds of their mothers who want them to have as long as possible life.
