The Civil Right Act: A Reflection of Gender Discrimination and the Test of Morality upon Leadership to Influence Change Towards Equality

Title 7 is considered to be the most important equal opportunity law enacted within the Civil Right Act. This is because it directly prohibits discrimination based on demographics such as race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Title 7 was success for all minorities, but was a success especially for women. With such success that came from the title, there was a lot of work to re-assurance of proper implementation. Title 7 was perceived to be a large victory in equality and rights for women.
This is because title 7 guaranteed gender equality regardless of sex and prohibited discrimination. This is especially true for discrimination against compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment on the basis of gender.

    For generations now, powerful and brave women in the United States have cajoled citizens, members of Congress and government officials to ratify a Constitutional amendment that states “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.” In 1923, during the 75th anniversary of the 1848 Women’s Rights convention in Seneca Falls, women’s rights activist Alice Paul created the “Lucretia Mott Amendment” which would grant men and women equal rights throughout the United States. On March 22, 1972, the amendment now titled the “Equal Rights Amendment” passed the U.S Senate and House of Representatives and was to be sent to the states for approval. However, once the seven-year deadline on the ratification process came to an end in 1979, the amendment’s proponents lacked the ratification by 38 states and thus the proposed 27th amendment for equal rights was terminated. The ERA advocates continue to work together and utilize each other's resources in hope to finally pass the bill.
