Analysis:

It makes me proud to hear and know that more and more women are getting recognized for the amazing things they've done or accomplished. Its crazy too see how much women have achieved since the past. From not being able to vote to all of the changes now it's insane. This just comes to show we have gotten better as a society to give women equal opportunities and rights.
