The research Paper, entitled “Rebecca Felton’s Position toward Women’s Issues in the United States of America,” studies the position of one of the American woman who came from the conservative southern society on woman’s issues at various levels, and since it is logical for the position of women in general to be supportive of their rights and their contribution in all aspects of life, However, this was not an absolute rule, as there were those who made a distinction in demanding rights between white and black women in light of the racial discrimination that prevailed in southern societies, and among them was Rebecca Felton, who stood in favor of the rights of white women of her kind to education, ownership, and participation in political decision-making, to the point that she was honored for her efforts in that field by appointing her as the first woman to serve as a member of the US Senate, while she neglected to demand the rights of black women. This does not mean lifting the curtain on her positions and roles in defending women’s rights, given that she fought for them in a southern peasant society that does not see a woman as a place other than her husband’s home or a job other than taking care of her children.
