What about women?

In class we argued the negative aspect of women. But what about the great opportunities granted to them? What about Blackwell's first steps (even though a man's mistake) led to women doctors? What about the suffrage movement? Equal Rights?

We will argue the lower pay for women later. I won't lie, the statistics used to "prove" their points of exploitation in today's market place are skewed. I will explain later.

I don't know if I'm doing this right or smart enough to be doing this, but I have a few comments to say about the women's movement. I can honestly say that men were skeptical about women being in the workplace. Blackwell was admitted by mistake, but stayed because of her skill. I think that women struggled and climbed a "steep ladder" to get where they were toward the 1900's.

As for the 2nd I.R. women were given the low waged white-collar, instead of the hard working factory jobs, so it is the same until men decide that the want women with them which will probably come in the early 1900's.
