Most people think that just because your a woman you automatically lack some type of quality, whether it be strength ,the smarts or the will to do something. Woman have come along way from the way that things used to be. Back in the 19th century woman had no rights, had no ambition or even their own specific train of thought. Men were the head strong, top gender, a woman wasn't able too think what she wanted only what the man wanted her to think, or do what she wanted unless the man had given her permission. In the past stories that we have read it showed how times were back then and woman on the rise to try and change them. The woman in the story such as Lasater, was a very strong woman. She had actually had the power to control thing and once she did, the men nor society approved. Woman looked down upon her for what she was doing, but of course men did not like it at all. She knew what she had, the land that was left to her and she also knew why the men were coming after her so much. Woman today have more power than what they perceive. They sometimes still today get pushed down , but because they are woman they bounce back. There are finally woman politicians, doctors (not just nurses), leaders in organizations, construction workers, and so many more things. It is honestly harder to find a woman who is not such an individual and doesn't seek independency in this century. Woman today are the ones who "hold" the families together. Statistically showing woman are the ones who have to provide for the familes now, there are more unfit fathers out in this world than ever before.

In the story Lasater it showed a side of these changes, and that they were in the near future whether people wanted to see them or not. Lasater showed that the change invoolved maybe the man answering to the woman, and that the man is able to follow the womn, it does not have to be other way around. Woman do have the capacity to actually take on something powerful and overcome it. In the story of  course no one resepected Lasater for following the woman but it did happen and it helped out so much. Woman were born to be leaders and the more level-headed gender, but men always took our kindness for weakness. Woman lead not only men now, but they lead so many others into new accomplishements everyday. Organzations who have saved lives are led by woman, a person lying on their death bed could be easily saved by a woman physician. In this century anything is possible.
