FEMINISM IS ESSENTIAL IN SOCIETY Molly Gillespie

Why is feminism essential? ◦ Feminism is important because it puts a standing on why women should be seen the same and be equal. ◦ Some of the most powerful women are great leaders and helping our society.

When did the talk of feminism start? ◦ It started in 1848 when women had enough and wanted to address barriers ◦ Unsuccessful for 2 years ◦ After 70 years of trying to be successful they were able to vote

Quote about Rosie ◦ “Although frequently associated with the contemporary women's movement, Rosie the Riveter was not supposed to promote change or enhance the role of women in society and the workplace in the 1940 s. Instead, she was meant to represent the ideal female worker and help fill the temporary industrial labor shortage caused by the combination of fewer male workers (due to the draft and/or enlistment) and increased production of military equipment and supplies. (Lowen, “Why Rosie the Riveter Is So Iconic”)
