History of Women

Introduction

Women's history seems abstract and less relevant to most people than modern women's

struggles today. However, one should not ignore the crucial accomplishments that ancient

women achieved in the past. People can draw strength and inspiration from the incredible women

of the past generation. Their accomplishments are part of the History written today, a story that

has exclusively contributed to a much-balanced society. An inclusive history should recognize

these women and how important the women have been in American history. As much as it is

impossible to know every world-changing achievement in women's history, many outstanding

figures in women's history have been prominent because their achievements and actions remain

impressive today.


The past social-economic setup of most American societies did not give room for women

to come out and play essential roles in the community. Organizations always prioritized men,

who, in most cases, people presumed that they were superior to women. Even though ancient

culture discriminated against women and denied them the opportunity to participate in most

activities and historical events, some women were brave enough and used their chance to

empower others, unite, and fight for their rights, hence managing to bring justice and equality in

the society. In the process, they made history. This paper will look at the history of women in the

United States and the world uniquely. The report will discuss famous women in history and the

achievements that made them outstanding in the world. The paper will also discuss women

groups and organizations that significantly impacted women's lives in America and the world.

Pioneer Women in Careers

Women made history by engaging in careers that society previously believed were meant

for men. These careers include military, journalism, and teaching. Due to the nature and dangers

of military work, ancient society prohibited women from taking part in such risky activities. The

community presumed women to be too weak to serve in the Military. The story of Margaret

Duncan Bridget's career in the Military is pure proof that women were willing to break the

societal norms and show the world that women can serve in the delicate jobs at equal levels as

their male counterparts. Margaret Bridget served as an inspiration and a turning point for most

young ladies to join the military.1 More women are currently doing an outstanding job in

protecting the territories of the United States both within the country and overseas. Women have

even found their way into the USA's most elite forces like the US Navy Seals and Rangers

squads. Women therefore should be given equal opportunities in each profession as male

counterparts.

Another career that women have ventured into of late as a result of historical inspiration

is Journalism. Just like the Military, the journalism field has its risks, especially investigative

journalism. Marzolf outlines a series of historical events in the life of women journalists.2The

document documents the journey of women's journalism and how they managed to overcome the

overwhelming challenges that the women faced, and how they eventually became outstanding

journalism in the United States.
