Definition. Elements that lose electrons easily, that are lustrous and malleable and that are good conductors of heat and electricity are known as metals. Metal elements can be broken down into several categories, one of which is the category of transition metals. A transition metal is defined as a metal with inner d or f orbitals being filled. Orbitals describe ways that electrons can be organized around a nucleus. There are four types of orbitals: s, p, d and f.
Women's rights. Annie Kenney and Christabel Pankhurst campaigning for women's suffrage. Women's rights are the rights and entitlements claimed for women and girls worldwide, and formed the basis for the women's rights movement in the nineteenth century and feminist movement during the 20th century.
In the 1960s, over a century after the fight to end slavery fostered the first wave of the women's rights movement, the civil rights battles of the time provided an impetus for the second wave. Women organized to demand their birthright as citizens and persons, and the Equal Rights Amendment rather than the right to vote became the central symbol of the struggle. Finally, organized labor and an increasingly large number of mainstream groups joined the call for the ERA, and politicians reacted to the power of organized women's voices in a way they had not done since the battle for the vote.
