Susan B Anthony On Women

Susan B. Anthony once said, “The day may be approaching when the whole world will recognize woman as the equal of man.” Despite their history of fighting for their rights and equality, women are still not being treated fairly in the workplace and are not given the opportunities to work positions that men are generally given; however, the women that braved the headwinds and made it to the top know what advice should be given to other women who aspire to do the same. Throughout history, women have faced a hard, enduring fight against society about their rights and what they deserve. The women’s rights movement started in the 1700’s with the formation of many groups and figureheads (Ching, 22). However, many of these organizations did not begin

Although it would be difficult to fully change the judgement on women, they have the ability to improve their image on how skilled and knowledgeable they appear. Compared to men, women have a higher graduating percentage in college and high school, thus eliminating part of the skilled and knowledgeable difference. This does not necessarily indicate that women are smarter than men, but it does show that women can hold out and finish a job or task.

Some countries have even noticed this outreach and are supporting these women. Scandinavian countries that reserve 10 percent of their senior management jobs for women consistently rank highly in terms of innovativeness (Bhatti). With the help from other leaders and businesses, women are beginning to earn part of what they have been fighting for. For example, the earned income of women is growing faster than men’s (Bhatti).
