• Write and submit a short Word document (roughly 400 to 500 words, single or double-spaced) that fulfills the following prompt:
  • Based on the readings from Dicker and Bender, write a response that discusses and analyzes both of the following:
    1. A couple of major developments in the U.S. feminist/women’s rights movements in the 19th century (Dicker, Ch. 2).
    2. The causes, effects, and significance of the harassment of women workers in the late 19th century garment (clothing) industry (Bender).
       • Note #1: You certainly may discuss material from Dicker Chapter 1, but the focus of your response must be on Dicker Chapter 2 and Bender.
       • Note #2: Please use at least one quote from the Dicker/Bender readings to support your analysis.
