Women have come a long way, or have they?
History is sprinkled with the stories of great women doing great things and shaping a nation, or a world.
Still, we know their names best because compared to the men of history, mentions of women are far in between in our history books -- all written by men.
To be perfectly frank, American history books are littered with pictures of older white men, a few women and even fewer men and women of color.
While gender equality may be about equal pay for equal work, it is not just about how much women get paid.
It is about opportunity.
Sometimes all a man has to do is be in the right place at the right time or to know the right people to advance his career, regardless of skill, ability or hard work.
Women must "prove themselves" and do it over and over again.
They have to work longer hours, show greater dedication and never make mistakes, just to be given a chance to show they can do the same job.
If they are strong-willed, decisive or the slightest bit outspoken, they are criticized and called names -- one name in particular.
