Answer 1

Throughout history, women confronted societal expectations and workplace discrimination, persisting against hurdles for equality. Despite facing challenges, women, exemplified by suffragists Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, secured the 19th Amendment in 1920, gaining voting rights.

In the workforce, women transcended traditional roles, entering fields like law and medicine, narrowing the gender pay gap and attaining leadership roles.

Literary works like Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper" reflect women's resilience, portraying characters like Jane determined to reclaim autonomy.

So, Women's struggles shaped their resilience, teaching strength and determination, inspiring a fight against injustice for a more equitable world.
