According to the textbook, equality for women has improved significantly during the twentieth and the early twenty-first centuries

Are there any areas in which women are still at a disadvantage in American society? If so, what are they? If not, provide evidence for why you think they are no longer at a disadvantage.

What will be an ideal response?

An ideal response will:
1, Discuss that by championing the American creed of equality, the women's rights movement has been able to make significant gains in support for women's equality as noted in Figure 2.2.
2, Discuss areas where women may still be at a disadvantage in American society, such as sex-based discrimination including harassment and inequality in pay for equal work. Or, if the student feels that women are no longer at a disadvantage, indicate why—for example, there are increased numbers of women in positions of political power such as Hillary Clinton and Condoleezza Rice, and increased opportunities for women in fields such as law and medicine that have traditionally been dominated by men.
3, Provide a clear and effective conclusion.
