I’M JUST A GIRL IN AMERICA’S WORLD

This is a story about a teen girl living in Texas, one of the most criminalizing institutions relating to the health rights of women, who seek equality to have legal authority over the autonomy of their bodies. This astute author is persuaded to get involved in the political processes after time and again feeling like a human pun during the 2024 presidential debate and election process. It becomes clear that all for political gain and the click of votes that the Republican Party leaders’ along with immune powers granted by the Supreme Court seemed to endorse punishing women during a vulnerable time – to birth and carry imminent pregnancy burdens with potential health complications. Millions of women stand to lose rights that women from different generations struggled to secure, fighting for autonomy rights that became the law of the land over 50 years ago with presumed legal precedence.

Yet, some men continue to resist women’s equity in society although women are the majority in the American population. This young author understands the privileges of freedom because both her parents and grandfathers served for over 62 years of service, sacrificing for every citizen to not only be heard but also be seen; conversely now ignored. She confronts the hypocrisy of the Republican party and even the misogyny during open discussions with her peers who also seek to excuse or justify the misbehavior and outright unfair views about young girls and women. This is not a narrative where this author conveys her opinion but rather an objective viewpoint with facts versus quacks. Every reader will become more enlightened and empowered, especially girls and women after delving into each chapter where a historical path is once again, attempting to suppress women’s rights. The current divisive political climate puts us at great danger; however, the author outlines undebatable credentials and experiences to support VP Kamala Harris’ candidacy not because she is a qualified woman but a qualified candidate. Despite pulling herself up by the bootstraps it America denounced adequate leadership for inadequate leadership leaning towards dictatorial cultist’s patriarchy. Sadly he won but the country lost and history is bound to show more than retribution but much regret for Americans who knew better.
