Summary
I don't think that the women's right movement has reached its goal. We are getting closer and closer to reaching our goal but i do not think that we are exactly there yet. We have gone so far as to letting women elect for president. We have improved women rights a tremendous amount. I hope that one day we can have a women as a president. That would also say that we, as women, have come so far. One day, this will happen.
