In an election year that for the first time in history a woman has received the nomination for a major party, it is important to study the women who predate Hillary Clinton. Freedman discusses that the first women who ran for president used it as a platform for discussion of issues that they felt personally about.

    Barack Obama became the first African American to become President of the United States on January 20, 2009. With his presidency, he promised to make changes that would unshackle Americans from crisis and start a new beginning, despite some unsuccessful policies along the way. Taking a look into how he rose to be successful, the triumphs he has provided, and some of his unfortunate improprieties, helps to paint a better picture of the man we call our President. Obama prepared himself as a child to beat the odds, and one day become president. He was born on August 4, 1961, in Honolulu, Hawaii to Ann Dunham and Barack Obama, Sr…

    President Obama’s Hypocrisy President Barack Hussein Obama is the forty fourth president of the United States elected in 2008 and he is the first president, under the constitution, of African descent. He worked his way up from the Illinois State Senate to the US Senate and was officially sworn in as president on January 20, 2009. Given his background in politics, logically, people assumed that he was a responsible, trustworthy candidate for president; however, his actions prove otherwise. His past work does not stand for his mental ability to run and decide for a country. Instead of his idea of “hope” and “change”, his presidency has brought the United States to the brink of ruin.…

    What do you think? Please comment, like or hate and share! WOMEN PRESIDENT OF THE USA, UNCONSTITUTIONAL? I want to preface by saying that I am not against the idea of a women being President of the US, but I am very much against Hillary Clinton, for more reasons than I can count.

    I first chose the topic of women’s right because, as a young woman in 2016 attending college in the United States, women’s rights are fairly important to me. As I began to look into the topic that I already knew was large and complicated, I decided to hone in on suffrage because I realized it was a pivotal point in the fight for women’s rights and I knew basically nothing about it. This sparked my interest and as I researched I became more and more intrigued and gained an even greater respect for these women who began the discussion of obtaining the rights I enjoy every day.…

    Think about 2016 and the moments in history that have led us to this current day where in a couple of days we will possibly be experiencing the first woman president be inaugurated into office. Women had to come a long way and a lot had to change in order for the Democratic Nominee, Hillary Clinton, to even consider becoming president one day. The effects of women suffrage led to the start of the powerful feminist movement that changed the way women confronted social standards. Warrren K. Leffler points out, the beginning of women’s suffrage began in 1848 when Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott issued a meeting in Seneca Falls Convention in London to talk about “Social, civil, and religious rights of women” as well as to ratify the…

    In their study, they found that in both 2001 and 2011, there was a “profound gender gap in interest in seeking elective office. Women of all professions, political parties, ages, and income levels are less likely than their male counterparts to express interest in running for office” (16). Why is that when women perform the same task as men, they do work just as fine as men? Figure 5a lists some obstacles women face, such as being held to a higher standard than men or that women are not tough enough to handle politics (“Obstacles to Female Leadership”). In order to close the gender gap and increase women’s representation in politics society must continue to raise awareness about the…

    "Once upon a time, it was a man’s world,” states David Brooks firmly. For centuries it has been understood that men rule over the more important dominant and power positions of the world. From great male pharaohs, to an increasingly systematic view of presidency, men have been able to manipulate genetic gender roles in order to instill the notion that it’s truly a world only able to stand with the leadership of men. However, contrary to the beliefs of the gender based roles of conduct in society, that represent males as supreme in intelligence and in physical dominance, we have evolved into an era where woman carry an equivalent and sometimes ever greater capacity to strive for success than ever before over men. To begin with, no longer…

Between 1996 and 2008, the amount of black female voters was higher than black male voters by a range of 7-8 percent points. In 2012, black women again voted at higher rates than black men by about 9 percentage points, which was 6 percentage points higher than any other ethnic group. However, for whites, the voting gap was much smaller than blacks, roughly a difference of 6 percentage points. That same year majority of voters for just southern states were white (9 states) while black voters only made up four states.…

    It is proven that from 1977 to now that the representation of women in politics has grown increasingly, but not at a fast-steady rate. The main reason women are underrepresented in electoral offices is because there are not a lot of women candidates on the ballot. Women are discouraged from running for these positions due to reasons such as not being able to win the election or not having a female role model to follow in the footsteps of. For women candidates and voters, there is a strong sense that they will not be able to win the election based on their gender. One study conducted showed that “two-thirds of voters believed that women have a tougher time winning elections than men do”.…

    In the film Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide, it has shown me how much young girls and women in worldwide are not getting the equal opportunities compared to men. As I was watching the film, many young girls are not getting educated due to their non-supportive environments where their family traditions are for women to be working for the family as they do not believe in women getting education, and as a girl they are to be married off to or sell their body to support family financially. Before I watched this film, I knew women in other countries did not get education because their family economic situations and unsupportive family for females in the household, but these ideas were just so normalized to…
