That doesn't mean that they are unequal or that women can't do things as well as men. It just means they're different. While men and women share many of the same interests, different things are important to women. These things are important and it's a good thing that they are important to women because, otherwise they would be neglected. Like all oppressed groups of people, in countries where women have been given the opportunity to fight for their freedom and equality, they have taken their weapons in hand. Where ever freedom of speech, freedom to assemble, freedom of the press, and the right to petition for redress exist, they have won. Unfortunately, keeping your freedom and equality once you have it is an ongoing battle for everyone. While many battles were won and women were given the right to vote in several states starting in 1756, the right to vote for women was often conditional. While the Constitution does not mention race or gender while passing out rights, women were not actually given equal status until 1920 when the 19th Amendment was passed. It's rather bizzar that an Amendments were required to grant slaves their freedom and women equal status when one would think that all that had to be done was to enforce a Constitution that spoke of human rights. Women have accomplished much in a short period of time since they were allowed to start trying. There are now women working in all occupations at all levels. Many Congress, Senate, and Cabinet members are and have been women. Major corporations have chosen women to be their CEOs. There is no telling how much more advanced the United States would be if women were given the opportunity to contribute from the beginning. This is not to belittle or ignore the contributions that women made before they were granted equal status. Think what you may, managing homes and raising children remains one of the most challenging tasks in the world. For a person to be able to do this while holding down a full time job is incredible.
