Fun Fact: In 1917, Jeannette Rankin became the first woman to be elected into the House of Representatives. However, the 19th Amendment, which established the right of all women to vote, was not passed until 1920. Many people wanted to make it so that Rankin would be unable to vote on issues, despite being elected into office.
Women have been pushing for their rights for a long time. It's crazy to think that it's been less than a century since women even had the right to vote. Still, women still don't have a lot of power in the government. The feminist movement isn't about hating men or about any of all the stereotypes that go along with it. Feminism is about equality.
