It’s 2018, and women have become more powerful than ever in history. If you have ever opened up a history book, you would know that from beginning of time women have never been equal with men. But now there’s no more ‘Come on coach, I can play as good as the boys, let me play!’ Women are now starting to play, and their game plan is influencing the world.

  According to data from the Pew Research Center, an online nonpartisan fact tank, multiple graphs show the growth of women getting into higher jobs, like U.S Senate, House, State Legislators, Governor’s, and University presidents.

  “Totally, I see woman everywhere in everything now, its freaking awesome,” said Kelly Hawkins, a digicom and leadership teacher at Sedro-Woolley High School. “This is our time now ain’t no man gonna get in our way. Women are incredible, It’s honestly about time. If woman ran the world, everything would be perfect, organized and peaceful and not so political and hatred for money.”

  A consensus survey conducted by The World Economic Forum, a not-for-profit organization that’s based in Switzerland, showed that in 1970 in the U.S.only 9.7 percent of physicians and surgeons were women. In 2010, that number had grown to 32.4 percent. To this day the U.S. has around 345,304 physicians and surgeons that are female.

  “Many moons ago, there was no such thing as a female doctor, judge, accountant,[certain] areas in business, coaching, CEOs,” said Kerri Carton, the principle of SWHS. “Woman couldn’t do or be what they wanted to be, and now since our great great grandmothers and mothers have fought for our rights, we have shattered that glass ceiling.”

  Hillary Clinton, previous first lady and 2016 presidential candidate, influenced many women in the United States. Something that women have never been allowed to do or have accomplished, has started to become a possibility.

  Clinton wasn’t the first woman to run for office. In fact, in 1872 Victoria Woodhull ran for president before women could even vote. Back in that era, women couldn’t walk into a store or a restaurant of any establishment without a man.

  The Guardian, a British daily newspaper, stated, “Well, we don’t know what the world would look like if women ruled it, but something’s not working at the moment. While we can’t say for certain that women would make a better fist of it, or behave any better, what we do know is that when women are in leadership positions, or involved in decision-making, societies work better. There is less violence, instability, and more peace.”
