On my journey to becoming a Muslim, I was proud to learn that 1400 years ago, Islam gave women more rights than many western women were given for much of the last century. These include many rights western women have fought to achieve in recent history, such as the right to an education, to vote, own property, work, divorce, and inheritance, just to name a few. As an American, I would be proud to learn that The United States adds the Equal Rights Amendment to the US Constitution. Ohio voter living in Canada Lorin Soultan
