People used to say, “The hand that rocks the cradle（摇篮）rules the world ” and “Behind every successful man there’s a woman.”

Both of these sayings mean the same thing. Men rule the world, but their wives rule them. Most of the American women like making their husbands and sons successful, but some of them want more for themselves. They want good jobs. When they work, they want to be better paid. They want to be as successful as men.

The American women’s liberation movement was started by women who don’t want to stand behind successful men. They want to stand beside men, with the same chance for success. They don’t want to be told that certain jobs or offices are closed to them. They refuse to work side by side with men who do the same work for a higher pay.

A liberated woman must be proud of being a woman and believe in herself. If somebody says to her, “You’ve come a long way, baby,” she’ll smile and answer, “not nearly as far as I’m going to go, baby!”

The movement is quite new, and many American women do not agree. But it has already made some important changes in women’s lives---in men’s lives, too.
