Women in America have been working for centuries to have equal standing in society. Just over 100 years ago women were finally able to vote. In the past fifty years, the financial system finally recognized women by allowing them to have their own bank accounts. And, just over fifty years ago, women were granted control over their body. Disparities are still significant in the public and private sectors and the actions of the Supreme Court, legislative activity at the State level and commitments by the incoming Administration are likely to widen rather than diminish the disparity gap.
