Female Children Of The United States

Sarah Margaret Fuller, America’s first true feminist, was born in Cambridgeport, Massachusetts on May 23, 1810 to Timothy Fuller and Margaret Crane Fuller. Her father was a lawyer and congressman while her mother had a short teaching career. Margaret Fuller was born in a time period were women were raised to be well-cultured and obedient. On the other hand, Fuller was the opposite she was known to be assertive and a freethinking. She was the first women to be allowed into the all men library of Harvard University and later on to graduate from the university. Fuller is known today mainly as a transcendentalist, she surrounded herself with philosophers like Emerson and Henry David Thoreau because they shared similar believes and ideas of a new way of thinking (Allen 1981) .

My life started with my long and hard birth on July 14, 1993. I came into the world with a large scream and was immediately placed into some sort of category. The doctors and nurses took a quick look at me, and pronounced me as a girl. This social label of being a girl was now my gender, which is something I had no say in. Every since that very moment in time where my parents were told I was a girl, I have been treated according to my gender. This meant that my parents automatically dressed me in pink, bought me dollhouses and kitchen sets and threw me Barbie themed birthday parties. Since I was surrounded my whole entire life by these things, it was almost like second nature to think and act the way that I did and still do. My

Imagine you are being used as a tool and ignored from this world. You would feel depressed. In this world, huge number of women or girls are being excluded from the society or their rights and freedoms are ignored from men. Sometimes they get sexually abused or raped and some women can't get education just because they are female and I believe that this is ridiculous because just they have different gender, they are ignored or sometimes used as a tool.

As a child a lot was expected of me being the only girl. My mother in particular

Grandmother is stuck in her old ways and she seems to care less about the suffering and the poverty of the lower class individuals. Besides, she indicates a given degree of superiority in her actions and has poor judgments towards other people. For instance, she spots on the streets a poor “Negro” child who is naked and she utters that “Wouldn 't that make a picture

Women have virtually the same rights as men. However, the fault needing to be recognized in today’s society is the way that women are treated. Even in simple areas, such as jobs, women are put on the back burner. A woman is able to become a CEO of a company, nonetheless, she will struggle twice as hard as a man would. Even as an employee, women are statistically paid less than men are.

It goes without saying that throughout society there exists varying degrees of gender stratification. Although many have attempted to understand why this difference between the distribution of property, power and prestige exists amongst genders, the answer is still somewhat ambiguous. Although the United States isn’t a perfect example of equality amongst genders, compared to a majority of nations across the globe, its conditions for both genders are relatively similar. One country notorious for its massive discrepancy in terms of access to property, power and prestige between genders is Saudi Arabia. In Saudi Arabia and a number of Middle Eastern countries, there exists a great deal of gender stratification. According to the 2008 Human Rights

All over the globe, violence and discrimination against women and girls violates their human rights and severely compromised their perception of equality. Culture, false beliefs and ancient traditions, such as early marriage, the nuclear family, gender-based discrimination, which lead to violence against women and femicide, destroyed young girls ' mental and physical wellbeing and self-esteem by supporting the ideas that gender-based discrimination and inequality is acceptable in our societies.

One government program I found was the Federal Women’s Program led by Pamela Pavek. According to http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/wa/about/civilrights/?cid=nrcs144p2_036407 , “ The Federal Women’s Program (FWP) is a special emphasis program which was established in 1963 to enhance employment and advancement of women. Executive Order 11478, signed in 1969, brought the FWP into the overall Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Program and placed it under the stewardship of the Director of EEO.” This program is to ensure that women receive equal treatment in all areas of the workplace. Also, they providing counseling and promoting leadership in the workplace as well.

When children that live in poverty are in the school, the school system automatically labels these

My mother was only a little girl and she was already taking care of three little sisters. My grandmother was very harsh on her 10 daughters and

All of those disadvantages for women in modern society are affecting young girls, and it is hard to raise daughters in today’s culture. We as a country should not just let this inequality continue. Men and women should be treated equally and it is important for parents to raise their kids to make the future less

People often say they have a choice, but in certain situations we don’t have the option due to our circumstances. For example, children don’t have an input on the choices their parents make and as an outcome their future can be effected. Over the years parents migrate to the United States bringing their children hoping for a better future and new opportunities. The children that come to this country aren’t aware of the laws being broken or the consequences of not being citizens of this country. As they grow older, being here illegally without a choice can cause conflicts while trying to build a career and provide a stable home for their families. Being in this country illegally creates many obstacles that they had to overcome due to the limited resources available. Luckily there are a few programs for young adults that provide a chance to succeed in this country and make them feel like this country is their home.

Since children, girls are always told to act a certain way and which behaviors are appropriate or “lady-like.” Even as little girls, we have a lot of expectations set on us and the way we should handle things. We grow up with skinny Barbie dolls with makeup, baby dolls and kitchen playsets to play mom. We love to argue that women oppression isn’t a thing nowadays, so why it is the women still have to fight for basic equality and rights? As a Mexican women I stand for the Chicana Feminist movement because I believe I have to go through a “double-struggle” being a woman and Mexican as well.

My maternal great-grandmother, Turinesh Desta, was born in Tigray, Ethiopia and had never attended school in her life. She was forced into marriage at 13, ran away from her husband with her children at 16, and started her own restaurant at 17. My paternal grandmother, Alefech Dominico Ghermay, was educated, spoke five languages, and married the love of her life, who was a doctor. In my life, I was fortunate enough to live under one roof with these two women. Although they were innately different in almost every aspect imaginable, they shared a common ground in that they both taught me defining lessons about hard work, determination, and loving and respecting others, as well as
