      <span style=”font-weight: 400;”> First, I would like to say how appreciative of these brave women for their contributions to this generation so we can have access to what they were denied. It’s appalling that there had to be made law to nullify something as women being seen as property. It took 184 years for it to happen, nevertheless, progress has been made. We aren’t breaking those glass ceilings as of yet we have yet to ratify an amendment that’s been in existence for over one hundred years, so we still have some hedge way to go. It seems like women are still fighting for exclusivity in the form of employment and other critical areas like politics, mental health, and other professions. it seems like when women are outspoken and accomplished, they are seen as “difficult” to the itch word all because whenever women decide to become leaders is a misconception that they are not seen as the homebody type or the stereotypical homebound type. In some countries, women are still property or under the guise of being owned as it was during the 1900’s. do we have independence as a woman ye we do but in some areas of life, we are still only seen as property.  in most corporate settings where the top percentile of women who are CEOs are only at 10% according to a recent study, this includes globally. back in 2019, it was at 8% and that was the percentile for a few years which means one thing. There is progression g however it’s a slow climb. Additionally, what I find interesting is the fact that the Equal Rights Amendment has yet to be ratified! I just hope Congress or lawmakers allow another one hundred years to go by to make this into an actual law because it is so desperately needed in this generation.</span>
