Can Kamala Harris end the trope that women are second class citizens?

Women still seen as second-class citizens

Many countries have women heads of state. Yet, in the United States, many people, both men and women, view women as second-class citizens. The Supreme Court's overturning Roe v. Wade told us that they, too, see women as less important than men. Try telling my daughter, a law firm partner, my daughter-in-law, a C-Suite executive, my niece, a doctor or my wife, a former master teacher that they are second-class citizens.

How fitting that Vice President Kamala Harris will run against former President Donald Trump, who was fined $83 million in the E. Jean Carroll sexual assault case. More recently, he was found guilty unanimously by a jury of his peers on 34 counts in the hush-money Stormy Daniels case. He continues to brag that he alone is responsible for overturning Roe v. Wade. So, who better than Harris, a former state attorney general, senator and a powerful woman of color whose parents emigrated to the United States, to run against Trump in 2024? No one.
