Women Fighting for Equality;

          Back in history women were mistreated and discriminated, because of their gender. The fight was not easy at all for them. They were seen as weak and not capable of hard work. A women's job back then was basically being a housewife. There opinion was not taken into hard consideration nor they had the right to vote.

          Women got tired of being treated unequally so they began to fight back. Women used many different strategies to fight back and be heared. One of the strategies they used to fight back was protesting. They made huge groups and stood on the streets with multiple signs and statements. They protested for their jobs, for the right to vote and in fact one of the statements they use to say was " If women fight, women vote ". During the twentieth century a portion of the suffrage movement known as the National Women's Party that was led by Alice Paul became the first to riot outside the White House. Due to the protest many of the women protesting were put in jail. In 1920 the Nineteenth Amendment, which prohibits any United States citizen to be denied the right to vote based on sex, was ratified.

          Women never gave up and thanks to their perseverance they were succesful. Protesting helped their voices be heared. Women now have the right to vote and they are treated as equals. The fight was not easy for them, but they were fully determined to get what they wanted. Thanks to the fight the Nineteenth Amendment was ratified and now they do not have to stand for being treated any less then what they deserve and work for.
