WOMEN SOCIAL ACTIVISM
BY: STELLA MARCUS
PROGRESSIVE ERA
During the time period of 1890-1920, women in the United States faced many forms of unequal treatment. They were not allowed to vote, own property, or attend many colleges and universities. Women were often paid less than men for doing the same job, and they were not allowed to work in many professions. Women were also not allowed to serve on juries or hold public office. These laws and attitudes were deeply ingrained in American society, and it took a lot of hard work and activism to change them. The women's suffrage movement was one of the most important social movements of the time, and it paved the way for many other movements for gender equality.

Women are leading major corporations, running for political office, and making their voices heard on important issues. Additionally, they are excelling in traditionally male-dominated fields like science, technology, engineering, and math. We are witnessing a surge in the recognition of women's accomplishments and their emergence as leaders and innovators. Women are also making significant strides in the entertainment industry, with female directors, producers, and actors taking center stage. In sports, women are dominating in everything from soccer too basketball to gymnastics. Women are even breaking records and making history in space exploration and aviation. The list of women's achievements is extensive, and it's truly inspiring to see how far we've come. Women today are proving that they can achieve anything they set their minds too, and the future looks bright.
