De-a lungul istoriei, femeile au trebuit să muncească mai mult, să alerge mai repede și să fie mult mai bune decât bărbații pentru a-și realiza visele. În multe cazuri, poveștile lor au fost șterse sau rescrise pentru a le minimiza eforturile. Din păcate, o mare parte din acest lucru este încă adevărat astăzi, cu multe feministe contemporane muncind pentru a combate diferența dintre sexe, hărțuirea sexuală, violența față de femei, așteptările de muncă interne, negarea drepturilor reproductive – și lista poate continua.
