I thought that this article was important and intesting to gender studies. It relates back to the article that we read in the “Feminist Reader” regarding women’s inability to be involved in politics in countries such as Egypt. This is a significant benchmark in US history as was the election of the first black president. The profounding part of Ms. Pierson’s accomplishment is that she wasn’t born into politics, but worked her way up from the ground. Although the United States has not made as much progress in gender equality and wage equality as we’d like, we have at least given women the opportunity in our country.
