In class the other day, we were asked the question of how American society reacted to womens' push for equality in the 29th century, and does 21st century America still treat women differently?
In order to better explore this belief, we looked into many reports of women fighting for their rights and equality, and discovered that many people today believe that by ignoring women's equality the issue would simply go away, but obviously they were wrong. In July of 1848, the Senecca Falls convention was held with over 30 men and women pushing for gender equality, and in the Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions, women speak about how they have been oppressed by men and they call for change and equality for all. I feel like in today's society, people think of both genders as being equal, yet women are still opressed when it comes to their abilities and expectations in life.
