A Woman 's Nation Changes Everything

Ninety-five years ago the nineteenth amendment was passed giving women in America the right to vote (America’s Historical Documents), this was a pivotal step for women rights. Since then women’s rights have increasingly advanced throughout America: in politics and in the workforce. In fact “women today make up almost half of all worker in the United States” (The State of Women in America). Sadly though, women are paid less than males in the workforce. "Women in the United States are paid only 77 cents for every dollar a man makes" (The State of Women in America). One question that derives from this topic is: why are women still not getting paid as much as men? Women should get paid as equally as men do. A fair argument to make against the topic is the difference in the types of work a woman and a man does (Debate). For example in construction men are tasked with most of the heavy lifting as opposed to a women that do not have as much

I noticed how women are still treated/looked at as objects. I think it's really annoying how women couldn't speak or even have a say in anything and if they tried to talk they were ignored. “But they had often wound up sitting silent in political meetings or trying to speak and being ignored” (Collins 183). Women are just as helpful as men, if not more helpful and have similar ideas to men so why be rude to them. I think women should be hear and treated equally. This whole situation reminds me of the movie we are currently watching

Since the time the United States was founded, women were not given the same rights as men, resulting in many women struggling for years. In the second wave of feminism, “Feminists worked for the Equal Rights Amendment, the Equal Pay Act, the addition of sex discrimination to the Civil Rights Act and other laws that would guarantee equality” (Napikoski, 2016). Despite so much time fighting for the Equal Pay Act, in 2017 there is still a very prominent issue with women not being paid as much as men. Women will do the same job as a male peer, and still be paid less; they even have a lower starting salary than men do. A man can make 6.6% more than a woman will a year

Since the late 19th century, women have been struggling with the issue of not receiving the same amount of pay as men. The gender wage gap was not seen as a major issue until the 1960s, however, and unfortunately, it is still a major issue in our world today. (cite source). In the early 1900’s, World War I caused many men to leave their families behind to fight for their country. As a result of this, women had to take the responsibility of the male roles in the workforce. Women were expected to do the same jobs as men did before they were deployed, but were paid less to do so (cite source). This problem still exists in our world today. In 2011, it was proven that the weekly earnings for a female full-time worker is $684, compared

However, there is still much more to be done. According to a recent study, American women today who work full-time, year-round, are still only paid 77 cents for every dollar paid to their male counterparts (Kim p.1). Women’s median earnings are also lower in nearly every occupation regardless of whether they work in male dominant

“Treating others with fairness and dignity is the rain that helps them grow fruitful.”(Author unknown.) Women were not being treated equal for nearly 100 years. Men thought they were superior to women. Maybe men thought this because their ego was as big their body build. No matter the reason, everyone is created the same there for everyone should be treated the same.

Women employees make less than men in the same job position. “It is an absolute scandal that American women continue to earn just $0.77 for every dollar men earn.” (Sen. Mikulski) There should not be a gender pay gap. Workers should be given salaries based on their work ethics, degrees, and academic credentials.

In the united states in american society.Men and women are treated unequal at times i think still thre is a little bit of unfairness. in the way they are being treated.such as them having a jail sentence. The men getting less time and the women getting more time depending on if the judge likes her or not.The system of unequality is in effect.because there are still unfairness in the way every man and woman are being treated.there are some equalitys in the world.men and woman are supposed to be treated equal.That is what people are fighting over people are still fighting for their

Women in the US typically get paid only 80 percent of what men get paid. According to Kevin Miller’s article, “The Simple Truth about the Gender Pay Gap,”, “ in 2016, women working

Throughout time women have been looked upon as lesser individuals. However this is not the case. Women have played a very important part in our lives since the beginning of time. In the United States just within the past one hundred years women have received the right to vote. Hate and acts of violence against women still happen in other country 's today. This famous quote by Abraham Lincoln proves that women should be treated as equals to men:

economy has changed enormously. They are increasingly holding positions in management, and we are lead to believe the pay gap between men and women are now balanced. In 1963, President Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act creating it a law that makes different pay wages illegal due to gender based work quality. In the 1960’s women in the United States earned an average of 59 cents for the dollar men made in equal positions. (Gender, Web). Today almost half of the workforce consist of women and are the main source of income in four out of ten households. A review of the year 2013 shows that female full-time workers only received 78 cents to the dollar earned by men (Pay,

Even though men still beat women with income pay, women out beat men in education. Women would go into schooling to get higher education but yet when they get hired in the medical field or a field that has to do with technology, the article, It’s Time For Equal Pay Now, states that, “women in these fields make 28 percent less than their male counterparts” (Lyes/blog.dol.gov). It is not right because both women and men worked hard and probably had the same struggle to get this position but yet women still gets paid less of what the men

In the modern United States of America i do think that men are treated different than women. Men are treated as if they are superior to women. Pay in the United States may vary for the same job based on weather you are a woman or a man. I think there is somewhat of a system of equality, but this system is nowhere near perfect. The reason our system is not perfect is because we still don't have things such as equal pay. I believe that our society could have a perfect system of equality if things like equal pay were in commision. So as of right now i do not believe we have a great system of equality in effect. This is what i think about the system of equality in the United

Gender stereotypes still exist as Catherine Hill stated earlier in this paper. Statistics show that today 45% of women are enrolled in college compared to 38% of men. 36% of women have bachelors degrees compared to 28% of men (time.com). According to Francine D. Blau and Lawrence M. Kahn (2007 pg. 845) the authors of The Gender Pay Gap, women get paid less because they have over all less experience in the work force. Men have been in the work force from the beginning and women just joined during WWII. Another reason they say is because women also do housework, the more housework they do, the less time they have to spend at their job or doing their job. Also because women are anticipated to have a shorter work life, meaning they will not stay working as long as a male would or stay at the same job for as long as a male would.

The women's rights movement is a good example of how women have come across very strongly, fighting for their political, social and economical status. I feel that technology and modernization have also opened new possibilities for improvement around the world.
