In order to have a balance in the work and family life there needs to be an equality that exists between men and women. English states a few institutions that need to be emplaced that will help create the solution to the balance. One is the assistance of childcare in the workforce. Childcare needs to be available for women to have careers in the legal field and also let them be a mother and wife as well. Men need to understand that suppression of women is no longer legal and discrimination needs to be acted upon with harsh punishments. Civil rights movements need to be continued to insure that women will continue to receive the same treatment as men do and also to close the wage gap that exists in today’s world. English provides a lot of detail as to how the future needs to play out for such equality to exist. Her re-imaging the future holds many well-established values that can help solve the problem of discrimination against women in the legal field. However, the most important way to reshape the future is for women today, right now, to push on the “glass ceiling”. To scream enough! Stop allowing for such inequality to continue and to pursue through the law punishment to those who neglect to change. As it was shown in the previous blog women have been breaking the glass ceiling for hundreds of years and although women have come along way in the view of the public, there is much more room to be covered. It is up to everyone including men to put an end to the discrimination that occurs to women and minority women everyday. The treatment and the lack of respect through salary is not something that should be going on in the 21st century.
