Gender equality: the pinnacle concept that American society is not-so desperately trying to achieve. Many Americans have convinced themselves that gender equality was remedied by the Nineteenth Amendment and the Second Feminist Movement, and have not considered the thousands of steps that are left on the journey. In recent years, a matter of public interest has been the gender wage gap, stating that women are earning significantly less money than men for doing an equivalent amount of work. Critics of the effort to “break the glass ceiling” claim that a pay gap does not exist, and that if it does, it is because women either do not work as hard, have to tend to their families, or hold lower paying jobs. However, the gender pay gap has been proven to exist in a variety of different forms,

Another reason that a Boston marriage was useful was because of how uneven the sex ratio was at the time. After the Civil War the number of men had dwindled down and many women were left single. With the men who were considered eligible they had a wide range of flaws including alcoholism and over workers (WAE 271). Educated women started being raised to a higher standard because they were in their own little world full of single women. There was an acceptance because women tended to do better work than what a married woman would do (WAE 272).

But they started their lives young and their marriage ended pretty quickly as well. My mom on the other hand was notoriously avoiding marriage despite having children. She had my older sister at 24 and never spoke to the guy again. She had me at 27, with a different man than my sister, and never spoke to that guy again either. She had my little sister at 31, only after dating my step-father for some odd months and becoming engaged.

The feminist movement has made many ground breaking accomplishments over the years however has it truly gone to the root of the problem. Pollitt states that, “The feminist movement ……… has hardly turned America into a playground free of sex roles.” Claiming in her article about how the feminist movement will be unsuccessful till people are able to fully practice gender equally from infancy. If people started to take what Pollute said to practice the overall beneficial effects would cause, there to be less gender inequality. There would be less discrimination because as it is now man still get paid more and are favored more over women in high level positions. One good example would be since the establishment of the President of the United States

In a paper by Watson (2017) the author states “Primarily, women are more likely to take time off work for childcare, leading to less experience and fewer opportunities for career growth later in life. Some blame oppressive societal gender roles for urging women to be the caretakers of the home, but the reality is that women are less likely to devote the majority of their lives to their careers -- leading to fewer overall wage earnings.” (P. 1). These factors such as being caretakers at home are reasons why when wage gap is calculated it is seen that women are earning less than men but as explained because some women do not devote themselves to

This statements has a strong meaning. Its shows how over the decades we as Americans have lost our empathy toward each

She ended up moving out and slept in her truck in a hotel parking lot because she couldn’t afford to pay rent. Ehrenreich is showing her audience how hard life is for people working low income jobs.

This has been a trend though, during the late 1600s Maria Sisa and a few other women sued their employer for two years of back wages. Ultimately Sisa and others would not win as the judge believed housing was enough in return for hard work (Sloan 2011). In the 1980s, as a result of a neoliberal influence in Latin America women were forced to pick up jobs that were not deemed suitable for them and work for wages less than men because men were losing wages and jobs. Female labor is undervalued and women are considered a burden in the workforce. If they are unskilled they are thrown out and replaced (Wilson 2014).

But moreover women jobs that society felted were suitable for them such as
