How long does it take the US women to fight and gain equality?
The Women’s Liberation movement has become an important social movement through out the world today. In the past few decades, it has become one of the most important social movements in the U. S.. Women have been fighting for equal rights in the United States since the early 1900s, but it was really in the 1960s and 1970s that women began to gain rights and treatment in the fields of politics, education, employment, and the home.
As for the field of politics, today’s politicians are well aware that women have become a powerful force in this country. One of the reasons for this is that there are about 70 million women of voting age (voting age in the United States, as many of you may already know, is eighteen.) There are, in fact, 7 million more women of voting age than there are men of voting age in the US today.
Not only are there more women voting these days and influencing the political structure of the country, but more of them are becoming better educated. Today’s young American woman is much more likely to be a college student than her mother was. In 1950, only 7% of all women eighteen to twenty-four years old were enrolled in college. By 1980, 30% of all women in this age group were college students. Today in the United States, there are at least 5 million women college students. To be sure, this is 2.3 million fewer than the number of American men with college degrees, but the number is growing each year.
As far as the field of employment is concerned, about 42 percent of the entire American work force today is made up of women; there are 38.8 million women workers. In contrast, back in 1900,only 20% of the country’s work force was made up of women. This seems to indicate that greater numbers of today’s women are managing to combine careers outside the home with the traditional moles of wife, mother, and homemaker. Years ago, you see, it was customary for women to work outside the home only until they got married or until they had children. Nowadays, many women are continuing to work after they marry, and even after they have children.
