I am very glad I showed up to the library this afternoon. It was a very moving and informative presentation about women's rights and the hard work they put in to achieve it. It's sad that in our society or our society in general has generally been viewed as second class citizens. Many women have achieved feats equal to that of their male counterpar t. Many women came together in 1917 and created the National Women's Party. This party was very influential In American history. This gave women an outlet or a voice to change the old ways of thinking and prove their equal status to man. Many women were beaten by their husbands and sometimes raped because they would come home under the influence of alcohol. Which caused them to develop behaviors that financially and morally affected their family. This helps sparks women's role in the prohibition movement. This act alone showed women's ability to participate actively in politics. Not too long after that, women got the right to vote in 1920, a civil right that was long overdue. This was one huge milestone for women's rights in America. There are many still many achievements left to be made, but it wi happen slowly and surely. To me the next frontier is equal treatment in the work force. This can positively affect women and negatively at the same time. They will have to be treated as any other worker and no special treatment. At the same time that respect is earned in that process. In my opinion women already deserve respect and equality in the work place. I would also lime to see women play a more vital role in politics. There are few prestigious female politicians such as ex-secretary Ri ce and Hilary Clinton. I think this is a good sign for what's to come in the future. We need to change our cultural views so eventually this discussion will be a thing of the past. It's all about how we act.
