Women's Rights
Comment:
This video, shows us the importance of making woman's rights legal. I do not understand why it took so long for the Government to finally pass this Amendment, but I guess it's better late than never. Women have being a very important addition to this country and the rest of the world. It is very sad and upsetting to see how other countries still don't realize this.

It took many years for women to be recognize in the United States Women are part of the US history starting by Hattie Wyatt Caraway of Arkansas who was the first woman in the Senate. 90 years later we remember this important moment for all women in the United States. Even thou this video is more like a political campaign it has very interesting historical moment that should be remembered by all of us.
