About..."Shirtwaist (Second Wave)" from the Transition Series

This piece came to me as I was thinking about my mother's contemporaries, women who began to take a more active role in the trajectory of their lives, sparking the Second Wave of Feminism in the United States. 

Moreover, there is something very disturbing about a society which to this day does not consider better than half of its citizen's entitled to their full share of the American Dream. 

The Equal Rights Amendment still languishes in Limbo.
