America's current Identity

So what was this movements effect on America's current identity? 

The Women's Movement of America would open the door for a brighter future - if they could get past the closed minds of so many. Thankfully, many women fought hard and refused to give up, inspiring more women who also did the same. Because of them, women are now able to have a voice as a citizen of the United States of America.

If those women did not do what they did, things would not be the way they are in America today. Without them, women such as Hilary Clinton and Sarah Palin (who are both very successful and famous political figures) would not be where they are today and would not have such a strong say in the way the United States is run. Was the Movement successful? Yes, it was. The goal of the movement was to achieve equal status and rights for women that men have. The Women's Movement also inspired many other rights movements, such as the Women's Health Movement which also became a very important movement in women suffrage history. If this movement did not happen, and was not successful, then perhaps American women would still be considered as housewives and stay at-home moms; not a person who deserves the same rights and opportunities that their male counterparts have.
