Throughout history women have come across, as the under dogs, the mistreated and the under privileged. As the fight for women's rights became more and more prevalent, the role of an American man became more and more diminished. A woman today can go from the CEO, to a stay at home mom in a matter of minutes. The opportunities for women are endless, they can become anyone they want and no one will try to stop them.
