As of 2004, only 82 years have passed since women were finally granted the right to vote, 40 years since Congress passed the Civil Rights Act that outlawed sexual discrimination, 31 years since women got the right to choose a legal abortion, 18 years since the Supreme Court declared sexual harassment a form of illegal job discrimination, 10 years since the Violence Against Women Act passed, and just 7 years since the Supreme Court ruled that college athletics programs must involve roughly equal numbers of men and women to qualify for federal support.
