Women’s Rights

I am a teen-ager. I am a woman. I have been trying to fight and clear up all the discrimination that my male peers have against women ever since I lost my first tooth. My mother gave us Susan B. Anthony silver dollars for losing teeth and that is when I learned about the plight of women’s rights.

Ever since then I have been standing up for what those women in Seneca Falls and so many before them stood for. I had never heard of half the women mentioned in the article “A Beacon to Lead More Than Half of Us Out of History’s Amnesia,” (Nov. 8) and I hadn’t heard of the Women’s Hall of Fame.

I think that it is great that they are honoring those women for all they did and wish that they taught more in schools and taught the general public more about the women’s rights movement, and the women who made a difference.
