In this chapter Howard Zinn shows the reader how women were subjected to harsh and authoritarian treatment during and after the revolution. It was prevalent in past history and is still prevalent today – many women still face unfair treatment today, however it is not as bad now as it was in the past. Today, women are faced with issues such as the gender pay gap where men and women do the same work, but women do not receive the same pay as men. Things were completely different for women in the New United States. Zinn reveals that women were paid poorly and treated roughly and harshly, often deprived of quality food and privacy. Howard Zinn explains the problems women have faced in past history. Zinn states that “it is possible, reading the standard histories, to forget half the population of the country: the explorers were men, the landowners and merchants men, the political leaders men, the military men, and the very invisibility of women, the neglect of women according to Zinn is a sign of their submerged status" (Zinn, p. 103)....
