So many women have fought for feminism, simply in an effort to achieve equal rights with men. Hundreds of years have been contributed to this effort, and the fight is still not over. In my project I wanted to highlight the ways women have fought for the cause and made a difference, and how that has changed and grew throughout history. Women have impacted the world astronomically through literature, music, and even talking with friends, and that's what this project is about.
My name is Anna Lannert, and I'm a junior at Lane. I chose to do this project because of my multiple year long fixation on the Second Wave of feminism and the Equal Rights Amendment. I typically really hate history classes, but this topic in particular is very intriguing - especially when portrayed in tv shows like Mrs. America, this inspiration for the project - and extremely important in the future of this world.
