    *** Continued information for my website review *** Website has a maximum word count. Relationship to work, family, community class: NOW relates to work in the sense that they strive for equality and social justice between women and men. If workplaces are allowing women to perform the same duties as men, this can allow families to ensure higher income for the women. The National Organization for Women, globally and locally, tries to bring equal rights for women and men. Allowing equal rights can help communities prevent sexism or discrimination. Among NOW's 28 founders, was the first president, Betty Friedan, author of The Feminine Mystique. This website has supported documentation to back up its main points, such as being active in today's society. NOW lets women across the world get involved in the equal rights movement for women and allows them to communicate with each other on similar interests. Comments: As being a female, I found this website very interesting. I did not realize the amount of members that participate daily in this movement. I read more about how you can become involved and what it entails. After reading all about it, I am going to try and join and becoming a member.
