Women's History in America

 http://www.wic.org/misc/history.htm

I learned that throughout history women have generally been looked up as lower than men and given different legal rights in society. Although the tables have drastically turned now, women's role is society before the 20th century was still a struggle. With the formations of various group and reform movements women never stopped fighting to expand their rights. I learned that views on women have been around as early as the Romans, who believed women were similar to children and inferior. They have always been looked upon as the weaker sex, incapable of performing tasks of a man. It was believed that they should have no say in government or the future in America because of their lack of knowledge and capabilities. The traditional look of a women is said to be a stay at home mother, domestic, and one who does not work yet tends for the family which today is very different. I feel very strongly about this issue and I do agree that women's roles have drastically improved through out the years. We are very lucky.
