Women have walked a long way to gain equal rights as men. For a long time in history, women had been considered as inferior to men. They had less rights, and less opportunity in the political world. However, women have been supporting the nation from the shadow through out history. Early from the fight for independents, women were involved in politic; they boycott British tea and clothing by making everything on their own, and helped to issue the Declaration of independence. As women became more involved with politics, they became aware of the inequality between women and men. In 1848, Elizabeth has lead the first movement to fight for women rights and suffrage. Through struggles that lasted half a century, women were finally granted with the rights to vote with the ratification of the nineteenth amendments in 1920. Although women gained the rights to vote, their social statues and wages they receive are still inferior to men. One again, women tried to obtain equality through Equal Rights Amendment. Due to the unwanted changes that the amendment may lead to, the amendment was not ratified. Even though, women are stepping closer to equality and playing irreplaceable roles in politics.
