- “I declare to you that woman must not depend upon the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself, and there I take my stand" - Susan B. Anthony
Women had succeed in their civil rights movement even though there still men discriminating the women. All of those women fought for our equality and justice. Many years ago, women were treated unfairly since men did whatever they want. Today, they have a lot of rights comparing them with the past.
Regarding to the rights of a woman in the past, there had been many changes. They won many accomplishments by this movement. The women gain the right to vote. In the past, women couldn't decide or gave their own opinions, just men. Also, they got gender equality in which they could have equal job opportunities and sometimes equal pay. They got protection of women rights to divorce. Finally they make justice with this, because it wasn't fair that the women didn't want to be with the men for some reasons and she couldn't get divorced until the men decided so. Today, the women and the men divide their things equally in a divorce. Also, in court, the women has the right to obtain legal decisions. The Government had created laws and tough penalties for rape and sexual abuse against the women. The Bureau of Justice Statistics Crime Data said that more than three women were murdered by their partners every day. It was time that the government did something about this cruel action. Also, there was the passing of laws against sexual harassment. They implemented laws to protect the women against domestic violence. As women had the rights of job equalities, there was an increasing economic growth for them. In the past, about 56% of the American women were in poverty. Yet, the women still having inequalities. In the future, they should receive equal pay as the men in their jobs. Its unfair that they make the same job as a men and are paid less. This affects the women and girls, because they are often the ones who suffer from poverty. Another thing that should change as well for some women and for some men is the criticizing for their religion. All people should have the right to decide what religion they would like to choose and what to believe in. As you know, many people had been killed and discriminated, because of their religion.Women received the opportunity to have a good education and study at schools or universities. We also deserve to know about the world and about other people's history. 
The Women fighting for their rights created a great impact in the United States history. Finally, the government and other people decided to hear what the women wanted. Today, many women have equal rights. Also, the government is making justice with them and getting the men punished when he does something wrong.
