1-For your primary source readings this week you were assigned two works that illustrate the women’s suffrage movement of the early 20th century. Jane Addams’ “Why Women Should Vote” poses an argument of why women should vote based on the social role of women at the time. How does Jane Addams claim that the right to vote will not endanger the place of women in the home.

#what did I get from the assign readings is that each reading has a problem and a solution that included with. Starting with ” An insider view of hull house” which shows the problems which immigrants have of being unable to speak English, but they get taught in the Hull House to get better opportunities and be a hope for the U.S some day.

The Other reading was ” The American Forests” It focusing specifically on Americana environment how the people should think about their nation sustainability and try to keep it for the next generation by taking care for the forests and trees and choose the tree that is good for lumber and keep the young own.This reading consider in Economic efficiency that their should be balance in using the ores of nature for the products.
