is this the cast of the new major motion picture version of the president’s 17 angry men?
The legal status of women in America, compared to other countries, was equal to that of men, but not in the U.S. Congress.
There are 9 women state governors, 6 Democrats, and 3 Republicans; there are 17 lieutenant governors, 10 Democrats, and 7 Republicans. Women hold 31.0% of the seats in state legislatures.
Women were generally viewed as having equal social standing. In the early history of the U.S., women were largely relegated to the home. However, the role of women was revolutionized over the 20th century. Labor shortages during WWII led to an influx of women in the workforce, which helped to build toward the women's liberation movement of the 1960s and '70s.
Additionally, there are several major pieces of legislation aimed at bolstering women's rights that the United States has never ratified, including the U.N's Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and the Equal Rights Amendment.
