Womens Rights

In American history women have played a great role in are society and in this reading i am going to put on the spotlight how women consider there selves as unequal back in history. As you look back into a part of Americans history they were not treated as equals because of there sex. Back around the 1770s the woman's had the rights of like a 16 year boy or girl. They could not have there face in the political scene at all, voting they could never do in till 1920. Once the woman got there rights to vote it showed them that they could have more. So in 1972 they made up a group called the Equal Rights Amendment Movement, this group were supported by women that felt unfairly treated. As they entered the work force women put the spot light on that the men were getting paid greater amounts of money than the woman were. This movement was shot down my the ERA if which they said that it was unfit for the Constitution. But as you look at the country today woman have beene known as very equal people they can do anything a man can do, they earn just as much as any body. And there face are all over congress.
