Many historians of women’s equality movements through the decades say that the gains won by women often didn’t benefit all women; rather, they helped privileged women secure more opportunities in society.
The fight for legal equality allowed women with the necessary means to pay for college and find jobs with good salaries, for instance.
In last week’s election, some women said they specifically appreciated Mr. Trump’s support for their role as mothers.
Some believe Mr. Trump will support their position that parents, not the government should decide whether children are vaccinated.
And they said they saw the rising cost of groceries as an affront to women trying to feed their families, and something they think Mr. Trump can stem.
