I found this article very interesting and a huge step in progress for the women in our country. Relating back to the article, A Day Without Feminism from the book Women’s Voices Feminist Visions to shows that women are excelling at an opportunity they were once denied/restricted in. Even though the percentage men to women who obtained their doctoral degrees isn’t overwhelming, I feel from a women’s perspective it is still an accomplishment that so many women are going to school and obtaining and excelling in their degrees. I believe this is an opportunity for women to show and prove that we are equal to men, even though I feel as though our country is improving and has drastically improved; I believe there is still room for improvement to make this country an equal opportunity for all men and women in all aspects of our living.

It's cool that you found this article-- a lot of my friends were discussing it on Facebook. It's great to see this parity in terms of doctoral degrees, even if it's still skewed in some fields; it will be interesting to see what happens farther up the ranks.
