You’ve come a long way baby!
Let’s look at the timeline dating back to the first women’s rights convention held in New York.
1848: The first women’s rights convention took place, and The Declaration of Sentiments was signed.
1917: The first woman elected to Congress.
1920: The 19th Amendment granted women the right to vote.
1963: The Equal Pay Act (allegedly) eliminated wage disparity based on gender.
1972: Title IX prohibited gender discrimination for those receiving federal grants.
2021: The first woman inaugurated as Vice President of the United States.
So, how far have we really come as a gender?
We have raised children, climbed corporate ladders, and shattered glass ceilings. We have laid the groundwork for future generations. But we still have work to do! We must continue the fight.
For justice.
For liberty.
For life.
For respect.
For ourselves and the generations to come.
Reflective Question
How can we inspire the youth of today to care about such issues?
