The Seneca Falls Convention was the first women's rights convention where women came together to fight for their rights including education, religion, freedom of speech, politics, jobs, morals, and their equity overall. Since women did not have a right to vote at this time, they were subject to the laws that they did not agree with and had no say in, including being denied education. The outcome of this convention did not change any of the educational rights women were receiving, but it did encourage women to stand up for their rights (History, 2017).

Before this court case, scholarships were awarded to students with high SAT scores and only their SAT scores, but there was proof that these scores were not an indicator of how well female students would perform in college. Female students challenged the scholarship award requirements and the federal court determined that basing this only on SAT scores was discriminating against the female students. The female students pushed for grades to be considered as well as SAT scores for scholarship recipients (Court, U. S. D. (1989).

The current state of law in educational equity is that women and men have the equal right to education at all levels. Throughout this timeline, past women and laws have taken a stand and made current educational rights equal for everyone. As a woman, I am directly affected by the laws for equity because I am able to receive the same education as a man for the same cost. Not only does this topic impact my personal education, but it also impacts my current profession as a school counselor because my students that I serve are able to receive an equal education as their peers of different sex. Schools should be aware of these laws, because within my research, I found many topics and court cases that were very specific to gender inequality based off of simple comments made by teachers of different gender than the student. The research of women's educational equity was very informative and eye-opening from a woman's point of view.
