In the case of renewing the present fallacious situation of women’s status in society; by providing ourselves a better future, to ensure our children, we are able to pass on the knowledge, so our children can accommodate the new and refined awareness.

to provide Gender and Women’s Studies in the Middle Schools of New York.

TO THE COMMISSIONER OF EDUCATION:
The following petitioners ask the Commissioner to provide Gender and Women’s Studies in the Middle Schools of New York. A women's studies program encourages its students to creatively examine their surroundings and learn to identify both the empowering and disempowering properties of words and deeds. Gender and Women’s Studies considers the relationship of race, gender, class and ethnicity. It also addresses the manifestation and effects of gender bias in society. Gender and Women's Studies provides students with a critical and interdisciplinary perspective on the social construction of gender and will be an excellent complement to general education.
This image represents women in our present society, it displays a young black lady trying to converse with a bigger, and more solidified “Iron Man”, who happens to have an ascendency over rules and is an apparent symbol of power and domination. A fragile woman, trying to converse about her sensitive life with a hard, frigid metal piece in a man’s body; with the conversation preceding scant promise to spectacle any difference to accommodate the same repeated dialogue over centuries.
