I roared too in those days. Later, when I thought a lot had been won, I was stunned when a director at a hospital in which I worked, informed me that I was getting a five thousand dollar raise. She had fought with the administration when she discovered I was being paid less than a man for doing the same work. She was my hero. But I'm sad to know that so many years later, the situation hasn't changed and women still get paid less.

You could feel the atmosphere pump whenever the song was played. Self-reliance took quite a while after the vote was won. And it took a long while for society to adjust to the working mother.
