Women have always been a part of politics and their view has never been more needed than now.Women have a place in history and they cannot be continued undermine due to their sex and gender. America is in a state of emergency and so is the rest of the world because women are not being recognized for their contribution to it. Women are not only the main caretaker but also they are also the main influencer for generations to come. A strong woman is important to a great community because she is like a pillar to its foundation. When many women are left behind a generation falters. They are our mothers, the first teacher to children and they deserve to be respected and valued at ever so high rational. Our mothers gave us life and they were the first to give us insight into who we are. Mother figures were imperative in both rich and poor alike lives. They are our sisters too. The ones that take the place of our mother if something tragic should ever happen to our mothers. They will normally strengthen us and provide comfort. We need this humanity and thank God for it. The first symbol of what a woman is our mother and that relationship has a lasting impact on future relationships that an individual has with other people. They are our cousins, someone we have relations to and can find common ancestors with. We should not undermine their contribution to America's society and the world at large. We must respect their rights to live their lives the way they choose. We have to teach our young women not only how to value life but also to determine what is best for them. No woman should live in a world that tells her how to think freely. No woman should ever live in a world that forces her to bear children she did not want. No woman should live in a world that does not reflect her values and refuses to appreciate her contribution to society. On the anniversary of women's rights, the state of women has never been so prevalent in need of heroes and heroines who will say and mean it that women matter. Not only in a political ambition to win office but say that women should be taken seriously to lead. Women have fought in wars and they have stood up to the challenge when men were few. In the Revolutionary War, some women dressed like young men to serve. Some countless nurses and teachers inspired those under their care to become something great. No woman should ever hide behind a man again and as a Black Feminist. I would like to define that term that does not base itself on sex and gender. A Black Feminist is one who believes that women should be equal to men to the utmost possible and they want changes in their community to overcome racism. I am active because I know that women matter, mothers matter, sisters matter, cousins matter, and grandmothers matter. And its time for the State of Womanhood to be recognized and respected by its brotherhood counterpart to the fullest. This has to come now to win the fight against poverty. Not recognizing women's rights around the world has destroyed economies. It is about time to undo the injustices of the past and present a bright future for all children no matter their sex. We must be recognized that racism and sexism ordinarily work hand in hand and we cannot and should not leave women behind in the fight for civil justice because women have a right to be just like men.
