Paper Summary:
This paper discusses how, in this new generation of globalization and multiplicity, individuals subsist even with various differences like gender, race, religion, ethnicity or culture, disability or immigrant status. It looks at how, all through history women, have had to fight for their rights against inequality, discrimination, injustice, and subjugation of all sorts and how, in the past forty years, women have progressed enormously. It discusses how, although a woman can now easily get elected to office or hold a proper job and financially support herself and her family, it does not mean that women are given equal opportunities and rights in the United States.
From the Paper:
"All through history women have had to fight for their rights, against inequality, discrimination, injustice and subjugation of all sorts, though most of the time their fights have either not been given any attention or have been just hidden. The working class women have had to face various kinds of impediments in history to gain a position of equality. Along with having to face their household responsibilities and also work in horrible working condition where at every opportunity they are exploited, they have had to struggle with - one hand tied behind them?, as stated by a working class suffragist. They have also had to compete with an ideology that had assigned them a particular position in the society and a pattern as to behave in the society."
