1. Women’s Struggle for Equality in America

2. We've come a long way. Imagine a world where women are considered second-class citizens, not allowed to own property, maintain wages, sign a contract, vote or even hold an opinion independent of their husbands. Seems unimaginable doesn't it? Yet that was our history in the United States and it is only through the bravery, dedication and hard work of many individuals and organizations that the rights we take for granted today, exist.

15. In spite of all these accomplishments and progress, women in the United States still experience abuse because of their gender, people doubting their abilities to lead or perform the same duties as men, and unequal pay for similar jobs to men.
