Women

Not only have men contributed to the modern day advantages, but women have as well. Women, citizens of the United States of America whose contributions to the arts, athletics, business, education, government, the humanities, philanthropy and science, have been of greatest value for the development of their country.

The women of today's society do not all stay home to cook and clean. In fact very few women nowadays are homemakers.
