“Back then, women didn’t have half as many rights as we do now. People today are still focusing on making it important for women to have equal rights as men.”
Jolene Butt
“Women have come so far since even 20 years ago. Now we’re starting to get the same pay as men, we have more chance of a job that more men would have, that 20 years ago we would never have the chance to get.
“20 or 30 years ago, my father would be the one to stock the woodstove. But now I’d be the one to do it, or my mother would be the one to do it. Things aren’t labeled as men’s jobs anymore. I can do something just as well as my brothers or my dad can do.”
Julie Green
“I just think it’s really important to see how we’ve come and how many different rights we have now.”
Natasha Crocker
“We have more equalities in general. Women have a big part in society now … There’s more job opportunities. When I graduate, there will be more opportunities than if I was born back when my dad was growing up.”
