WOMEN STAND THEIR GROUND

Helen Reddy's inspirational song "I Am Woman" played a large role in popular culture, and became an anthem for second-wave feminism, encouraging woman to exercise their right to be leaders in society.

Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton strove so hard for was brought into fruition, and the tradition of sexism began to fade away from society.
