Here is the transcript – Reforms Presentation Women’s Rights Women lacked the right to Freedom and Autonomy, Property rights, Education, Career goals. Women

in the 19th century were under the dominant and absolute power of the

men in their lives, this includes and is not limited to their fathers,

husbands, brothers, etc. One important female figure in the

women’s rights movement was Caroline Norton – she was an unlikely

leader, she came from an upper-class lifestyle that involved luxurious

things like grand parties and fashion, many things working class women

didn’t have the luxury of doing. However, Caroline Norton, led a

campaign over child custody and the conditions of divorce marks her out

as a major Victorian campaigner for women’s rights. Leaders like Norton led to the creation of The Reform Bill of 1839: Women gained the right to have custody of their children Reform Bill of 1857: Married women gain the right to sue for divorce and own property Abolition In 1807, England outlaws the slave trade. However, owning slaves was still legal, the act of selling slaves was banned. Ignatius Sancho:

a British composer, actor, and writer. He is the only Briton of African

heritage known to have been eligible and voted in an 18th-century

general election through property qualifications. He gained fame in his

time as “the extraordinary Negro”, and to 18th-century British

abolitionists he became a symbol of the humanity of Africans and

immorality of the slave trade.[4] The Letters of the Late Ignatius

Sancho, an African, edited and published two years after his death, is

one of the earliest accounts of African slavery written in English by a

former enslaved person. William Wilberforce:

British politician and philanthropist who from 1787 was prominent in the

struggle to abolish the slave trade and then to abolish slavery itself

in British overseas possessions Women: Women

were also key leaders of the movement to abolish slavery in the British

colonies. However, because slavery itself was not outlawed. This meant

that slave owners continued to own the enslaved people already present

in the colonies, as well as their offspring. Many hundreds of British

families continued to own slaves. Women’s associations, on the other

hand, demanded immediate emancipation. Close to 300,000 women signed

petitions that were sent to Parliament in 1833. They organized boycotts

on slave labored products such as sugar. Lastly, they brought forth

support to black female writers such as Mary Prince, which was the first

account of the life of a black woman to be published in the United

Kingdom. This first-hand description of the brutalities of enslavement,

released at a time when slavery was still legal in Bermuda and British

Caribbean colonies, had a shocking effect on the anti-slavery movement. A

huge revolt of enslaved people in Jamaica in 1831 led to two

Parliamentary inquiries, which contributed to changing lawmakers’ minds.

Parliament voted to abolish slavery in 1833.
