During the last three decades, the "working mother" has become the norm rather than a rarity. In 1960, fewer than one in five mothers with children under age six (18.6 percent) were in the labor force. By 1987, this percentage had tripled, reaching 57 percent (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1987, Table 624). Current participation levels for mothers of younger children are even more striking. Fifty-three percent of married mothers with children 1 year old or under are in the labor force (U. S. Bureau of the Census, 1987).

More women are in positions of power and authority. What's needed now is for women to stop seeing themselves as victims and reach out to grasp the opportunities which exist for them. With a bit of effort, determination and the right attitude, we can have it all; this message has been reinforced through popular culture and the 'girl power' phenomenon.

Woman's Suffrage Movement - 0 views

The 15th Amendment, ratified in 1870, granted the vote to black men, but failed to grant that same right to women. As a result, the women’s suffrage movement split. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony formed the National Woman Suffrage Association, which sought to enfranchise women through federal legislation. The NWSA wanted the 15th Amendment altered to include the vote for women. Lucy Stone started the American Woman Suffrage Association, which supported the 15th Amendment and which sought to enfranchise women through state legislation.
Constitutional Topic: How a Bill Becomes a Law - The U.S. Constitution Online - USConst... - 0 views

First, a bill must pass both houses of Congress by a majority vote. After it has passed out of Congress, it is sent along to the President. If the President signs the bill, it becomes law. The President might not sign the bill, however. If he specifically rejects the bill, called a veto, the bill returns to Congress. There it is voted on again, and if both houses of Congress pass the bill again, but this time by a two-thirds majority, then the bill becomes law without the President's signature. This is called "overriding a veto," and is difficult to do because of the two-thirds majority requirement. Alternately, the President can sit on the bill, taking no action on it at all. If the President takes no action at all, and ten days passes (not including Sundays), the bill becomes law without the President's signature. However, if the Congress has adjourned before the ten days passes and without a Presidential signature, the bill fails. This is known as a pocket veto.
