Women have arguably been put on the backburner over time. Throughout history, women have struggled to gain equal rights and freedom in comparison. Despite numerous successes over time, including the women's suffrage amendment in 1920, there are still inequalities lingering around today. For example, many women today face unequal pay in the workforce compared to men. Even though in 1963 the Equal Pay Act legislation was passed, it has been decades and the policies are old and outdated. It wasn’t till recently that the Treasury proposed that Harriet Tubman, an American Abolitionist, should be on the new ten dollar bill. Interestingly enough, only one United States woman, George Washington’s wife, was ever featured on United States paper money.
