Submission
This submission will only accept doc, docx, & pdf files. If you have a file that is not a word doc you need to save it as a pdf and upload. 
Note: the Turnitin software is turned on for this paper submission, so please make sure your work is your own. Be sure to rewrite and synthesize information into your own words to prove your original thesis. Turnitin has 70 billion archived internet pages and 1 billion student papers and they add 1 million a day. According to Turnitin, any paper scoring above 25% is considered in the zone of plagiarism and not original work. Papers above scoring between 25-40% will be looked at carefully and may lose significant points based on Turnitin source match findings. Papers above 40% may be in jeopardy of a fail. Additionally, papers that attempt to “simply” use a thesaurus to swap out words, rather than process reading material ideas and write them in their own words, in a coherent manner, will be scored significantly lower based on incoherence of writing. 
Key things I’m looking for in your Paper:
5 separate sections. If you use multiple paragraphs for each section, either briefly label each section or have very clear topic sentences so I can follow. 
A clear thesis placed near the end of the introduction. A strong thesis will state your claim and response to the Topic question. You will refer back to this claim in each section of the paper. 
Clear Structure: As your paragraphs begin to emerge from the process of working the evidence, unify each paragraph with a topic sentence, and arrange them in a sequence that builds toward your strongest claims. Use topic sentences and transitions that guide me through each paragraph.
Single or 1.5 space; 11 or 12 point common font – Times New Roman, Arial, Verdana. 
Offer an analysis of the topic question with evidence including summary, explanations and examples from the film clips provided.
Attribution and Citation: There must be some form of academic citation and formatting – APA, MLA, or Chicago. I will not pick this apart as long as attempt is made.
Film clips must be at least informally cited with an abbreviated title and time – ex. (Becoming; 13:45).
If an outside source is used to supplement the films or other sections be sure to provide that citation. 
All outside sources must be cited with hyperlinks for my review.
Provide a sources cited page at the end. 
Background – Women’s Rights Movement Emerges from the Abolitionist Movement
While individuals expressed their dissatisfaction with the social role of women during the early years of the United States, a more widespread effort in support of women’s rights began to emerge in the 1830s. Women and men joined the antislavery movement in order to free enslaved Africans. While men led antislavery organizations and lectured, women were not allowed to hold these positions. When women defied these rules and spoke out against slavery in public, they were mocked. In the late 1830s, abolitionists (who called for an immediate end to slavery rather than a gradual one) began to advocate for women’s rights as well. Women gained experience as leaders, organizers, writers, and lecturers as part of this radical wing of the movement. The discrimination they continued to face eventually prompted them to band together to promote a new, separate women’s rights movement.
