When Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, declaring that all men were created equal, he owned slaves. Women couldn't vote. But, throughout history, our abolitionists, suffragettes, and civil rights leaders called on our nation, in reality, to live up to the nation's professed ideals in that Declaration.

Als Thomas Jefferson die Unabhängigkeitserklärung schrieb und erklärte, dass alle Männer gleich geschaffen seien, besaß er Sklaven. Frauen konnten nicht wählen. Aber im Laufe der Geschichte forderten unsere Abolitionisten, Suffragetten und Bürgerrechtsführer unsere Nation in Wirklichkeit dazu auf, den in dieser Erklärung bekundeten Idealen der Nation gerecht zu werden.

I have always believed, heretofore, in the doctrines of the Declaration of Independence, that all men are born free and equal; but of late it appears that some men are born slaves, and I regret that they are not black, so all the world might know them.

I think many of the ideas that opened up in the '60s got implemented in the '70s and that certain minority voices that were not being heard in the '60s, like women and gay people, were being heard in the '70s. Black Civil Rights had also found its foothold, and those ideas were also very pertinent.

Women were free in older times when the Islamic nation was strong. There are so many examples in history, not more than a thousand years ago, when Muslim women were leaders, scientists, professionals, and so on. It is all about justice, and justice can be attained through having the rulers accountable to their people.
