Yesterday's actions effect tomorrow's success


Women made accomplishments that have effected the lives that women today live. For example, because women fOught fiercely during the 1920s for the right to vote and the right for equality in general, women are now treated with more equality than during the 1920s. Many of these women created the stepping stone for militant feminism
which came about later.  Today women have many of the same opportunities that men have and companies can face lawsuits if there is unfair treatment of women in the workplace.
Although the fact that there are laws and amendments created to protect women, it means nothing if there is a sense of sexism. Sexism is wrong and many people believe that. Men will fight next to women today in an effort to promote gender equality everywhere.
Although we still have a long way to go and many places to move forward to, the sexist ideas men held for so long would not be dispelled like the are today nor would there be the opportunities afforded to women today. The amount of women graduating and attending universities throughout the United States is equal or greater than the amount of men at many locations. Women have jobs that formerly only belonged to men. Thank you women who have made life so much easier for me and have given me the right to be equal to men. Thank you for considering me strong. Thank you for being strong. Thank you for believing in something even when it was difficult. Thank you for everything.
