How do I feel about Depression Riots?

Depression Riots 

Depression Riots was something that I want to learn more about. About the protest I feel like the government will be trying to do the best he/she can to help. The government has a lot more things to worry about the Depression Riots. I get where the people were coming from though.

What the main idea of the text is.

The main idea of the text is that people have their own opinions and they need to speak up to what is right. Like women protesting one woman wants to speak up to what is right and she did. Protesting didn't always need to be like a war, it could be a peaceful protest.

Do you think it's fair that women or certain ethnicities were not allowed to vote? 

No, I don't think it was fair to women that they were not allowed to vote. Men thought women were not that smart and intelligent to run a country. 

Why do you think that women wanted the right to vote? 

So they have their own independence. They want to feel like they have a purpose in the world, not only cooking and things like that.

The man thought that they could not run a country themselves because men think that women are not independent. Men think that women want to have a voice in what is right or wrong. People think it is not a woman roll to be a prime minister.
