How To Raise A Strong Daughter in 2020

The women’s rights movement began in 1848 with 100 participants at a women’s rights convention in Seneca Falls. Since that time, women have secured the right to vote, the right to make their own reproductive decisions, and the right to fight against sexual discrimination and harassment in the workplace.
