The "African American" generally represents the blacks who fought for
the rights of citizens after the Civil War.

The "Women History" however, represent the American women who fought
got the rights to vote, equality.

I would need more information about the comparison and constrat of the
above two topics within the next 2 hours, although I don't see it
possible.

What *specifically* are you seeking? The above links will provide you
with information on African Americans (including women) who fought for
black rights, as well as women who fought for women's rights. If you
can be more specific, I can perhaps dig up some more sources for you.
