Mary McLeod Bethune, a woman from poverty, becomes one of the nation’s African American leaders of her time. Bethune’s life consisted of three different careers: an educator, an essential figure to the creation of Bethune-Cook Man College in Dayton Beach, Florida; along with founder and president of the National Council of Negro Women. She was a prominent force in establishing the black organization movement; and political realm, she was one of the few blacks to hold influential positions in the federal bureaucracy during President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Bethune was a black female leader…

My journey of self-love in the skin that I am in was a long and hard journey. By joining the National Council of Negro Women’s Executive Board, I want to be a part of something that is bigger than myself. I want to become an advocate not only fight for the rights and liberties that women of African descent are…

The first and second women 's movement created the society we have today. The American society is a more conducive environment for women to run for office. Women were not able to break the highest glass ceiling because of women. Kellyanne Elizabeth Conway and Phyllis Schlafly are notorious for maintaining the status quo.

time ago. Women have been excluded from the government since the beginning of America even though they were just as important as men were to certain events, like abolition or prohibition. Women are central to society and should have been treated as such from the beginning. The movement took decades to be included in mainstream culture. When it finally was being talked about, the movement accomplished many goals women wanted. Most women at the time were stay-at-home mothers and wives. If a…

rights of women through her writing, Friedan was able to bring more equality to females in the twentieth century. Friedan was a strong and brave woman who became a writer, feminist, and a women's rights activist.

Sisterhood is having someone drive you to the airport when you lose a relative. Sisterhood is someone buying you flowers after a really long week. We all have our struggles, but at Gamma Phi Beta, we always have someone who will help build you up. I have always appreciated our sisterhood. I continue to value…

Zeta Phi Beta Sorority truly shows what sisterhood represents amongst all the sorority I have researched. It is the only Sorority that caught my attention. I have seen how members show support,…
