in this reading reflection I’m thinking of everything I learned so far in this class, how much women have tolerated in this past century and how we still have this issue going on till this day. while reading how Virginia was the 38th state to pass the ERA amendment I’m still thinking how much we still have to fight to hav equal rights in this country, some people thinking that we are never comfortable and that we always as for too much but some women are still out here who was denied good wages, or denied maternity leave or being paid for it , or some women are still not treated good in their work environment. looking back on how many women risked their livelihood so that other women can have that too amazes me, how much this amendment was denied by other state because they don’t believe women should be given these rights Is just crazy to me as a women I’m glad these women fought for me to be where am at , to be able to get an education and being able to work and provide for myself as well is a blessing. reading on that factory incident made me sad because those women had to suffer because of greed that could’ve been prevented and this case reminds me of a movie called radium girls when women in the 19 century were dying because of radium and they were being lied to for the sake of the company, these places knew the dangers on radium and lied to these young girls anyways, in my opinion both of these cases were tragic and these women were failed completely , but all thought its sad it was used for a way to make laws to protect us today. it was used as an example for all of us.
