Look how far we've come.

Feminism is an issue that I am extremely passionate about. I was always against people who looked down upon women as just a house-wife or a care taker. Women have come so far since the early 1900's it is truly remarkable.

Back then, women were not allowed to vote, become educated or hold their own opinion. They were treated basically as Caucasian slaves and their duties were to clean the house, cook for their family and take care of the children. They were like 'stepford wives' while the husband went to work and returned later that evening.

Thankfully, feminism began and women fought back for their rights as citizens of the United States and the world. No matter where they lived, all women deserved the right of freedom; freedom to speak aloud, hold positions in the government, hold jobs etc. Now women can attend any schooling they want and can afford. There are opportunities galore concerning jobs, women can become anything they set their mind too, even some positions in the army.

I hope that one day while I am still alive their is a women president to lead this country. I am curious as to see how the country will change, for the better or worse. I want the country to completely over-throw feminism and become a world leader.
