Globalization has led to many things around the world some good some bad. What has globalization done to help women? Some would say it has led to sex trafficking and other problems. I say it has led to women’s rights and their rise to power.

                In the early 20^th century women fought for the right to vote among other rights and won. It is because of migration that we founded America, and globalization and migration are closely linked as I have explained in earlier blogs; therefore America and globalization are linked and women started getting rights in America. If America was never founded, then women may never have gotten rights.  

                Many women have risen to power and some have equal or more power than men. Twenty women are in the Senate and 79 are in the House. Three women are on the Supreme Court.  As of December 2013 there were 161 million in the US compared to the 156.1 million. The House and Senate are selected by voters. If there are mare women they most likely have more voting power and there are still more men. With that said, women are putting men into power; you can’t say it is a male dominated world because they could out vote men and put as many women into power as they wanted.

                Not everything is good for women; some make less and are more likely to be taken advantage of then men. However I still feel the good outweighs the bad. Some women are in Congress and on top of multimillion dollar companies. Women can have power if they truly want it.
