Women in America have come a long way in the past century. This time 100 years ago, the Equal Rights Amendment had yet to be drafted and we were not even two years into women’s rights to vote. To think that a woman could have her own bank account seemed like a pipe dream. And the idea that she could have the same career opportunities as a man? Unthinkable.
Though we’ve made tremendous progress in granting equality to women, we still fall short when it comes to salary and employment. In 2020, women earned 84% of what men earned, according to Pew Research Center; and, throughout the ongoing pandemic, millions of women have been essentially forced to leave their careers in order to provide care at home.
