John F. Kennedy:"Executive Order 10980," December 14, 1961.Online by Gerhard Peters and John T. Woolley,The American Presidency Project. http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=58918.




ii.) This Executive Order by John F. Kennedy concerning the status of women provides a great deal of information concerning the changes that women faced in the post feminism era. He stated that women rights should be respected and treated with dignity as everyone treats the element of human rights. John F. Kennedy made a big statement with this Order because is showed everyone that the President of the United States was behind one of the most lengthened movement in history. I learned that this source provided women with equal opportunities to men and that women were now able to hold political positions that were unheard of for most of history.

iii.) The value of this source is that it is primary because it is a document taken directly from the span of the 60s and 70s which was the peak of the post feminism era. It also showcases a significant moment in the feminism movement when women were given equal rights by law which was also ordered by the President himself. The limitations of this source is that it leaves out any backlash to this Order as well as any information that would provide new perspectives leading up to it.

iv.) This Executive Order 10980 declared by John F. Kennedy on December 14, 1961 shows a terrific achievement of the feminist movement. This also began the Presidents Commission on the Status of Women which was a big step in the post feminism era. This was a very important document that should be praised for its success in pushing women towards equality and receiving rights.
