    where women could pursue the same goals and work alongside their male counterparts equally. As a feminist and adamant believer in gender equality for all‚ I would want to travel to this period in history to be able to meet Angela Davis and Gloria Steinem.

    read that Gloria Steinem said the only reason young women are voting for Bernie Sanders is because of the boys‚ young women are voting on the issue not for the attention boys will give them. I can assume most young women are on Bernie Sanders side because they support his plan for free public college tuition‚ as well as his plan to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. Both candidates have identical positions in women’s right such as equal pay and they agree that the government

    Steinem bitterly censures the biased attitude revealed by society towards women’s magazines. Advertisements portray certain stereotypes about women – the sex object or the housewife. “First‚ we would convince makers of “people products” that their ads should be placed in a women’s magazine: cars‚ credit cards‚ insurance‚ sound equipment‚ financial services — everything that’s used by both men and women but was then advertised only to men” (Steinem 254).

    women are capable of both force and love. “Women represent love; men represent force. Man’s use of force without love brings evil and unhappiness. Wonder Woman proves that women are superior to men because they have love as an additional force” (Steinem 345).
