The United States Congress and its Government were designed to keep America and it’s citizens alive and satisfied. Created by men, and only men, it upheld what our founding fathers wished for our country. Congress, until around 1914, consisted of men and their opinions for the country. One would know that men have been there since day one and are still there today. But one would not commonly know is how and when a woman decided to make a change in the times and stand up for her beliefs.

The film titled, “The Life and Times of Rosie the Riveter”, looks at the roles of women during and after World War II within the U.S. The film interviews five women who had experienced the World War II effects in the U.S, two who were Caucasian and three who were African American. These five women, who were among the millions of women recruited into skilled male-oriented jobs during World War II, shared insight into how women were treated, viewed and mainly controlled. Along with the interviews are clips from U.S. government propaganda films, news reports from the media, March of Time films, and newspaper stories, all depicting how women are to take "the men’s" places to keep up with industrial production, while reassured that their

The song Black betty can be traced back all the way back to the Revolutionary War. The term “Black Betty had a child” means that her child is a musket called the Brown Bess. “Darn thing gone wild” means that the Musket ball would hit anything from friend to foe. “The child is blind” means that the musket ball would hit a child and the shooter would not be responsible. When they say “She’s from birmingham” means that’s where muskets were made for the colonials. Ben Franklin also quoted in the “Drinker's Dictionary” in the Pennsylvania Gazette that “He had kissed the Black Betties”

Due to their initially slave life style, Washington’s mother was not able to fulfill his appetite for his every desire. However, she indefatigably worked to keep her family alive and through her privations she was able to demonstrate the virtues of determination, tenacity, and gratitude into Washington. During the time that Washington’s family was working on a plantation, before the Emancipation Proclamation, they were living in abominable conditions. The cabin, at which they called home, was stricken with countless amounts of cavities, and was accompanied by a deplorable dirt floor.

One moment, a matter of minutes, has the ability to hold enough significance to create a multitude of everlasting effects. For Betty Williams, her moment occurred on August 10th, 1976 when she witnesses an innocent family get mauled by a runaway car driven by an IRA member in her hometown Belfast, Ireland. Three children are killed and their mother, Anne Maguire, is seriously injured and later commits suicide. Williams is greatly moved by this tragic event.

Two days after witnessing the accident, she obtains six thousand signatures on a petition for peace. Later, Williams teams up with Anne Maguire’s sister to form The Women For Peace, now known as Peace People. The organization, known for its mass protests, held a peaceful march of ten thousand Protestant and Catholic women with William’s as the spearhead of the event. The Irish Army halted the march, but the movement did not cease. The following march is attended by 3,500 people, proving that William and Maguire’s

The journey in advocating for the equality and justice for women has left a tremendous impact in history. Women demonstrate their endless fight to be at the same level as men. From being allowed to receive an education, suffrage, to earning the same wages in the workplace as men. We recognize and honor one of the leading feminist of the 20 century.

We often times neglect to remember important key figures that have strived for the better of our nation.
