Today, feminists are still fighting to make any underlying issues dealing with gender, race, and the oppression that follows those identities become more visible to society. The fight for women rights becomes even more difficult when the very same government you abide by can also be labeled as the oppressors. The economy has a barrier placed not only on women but also women of color. The National Council for Research on Women is currently finding ways to help women of color gain acknowledgment in the business field. The ideal image of a corporate manager, CEO, or member of a board is a white male. This ideal that society has about people in the workforce is creating the gap between women and women of color from furthering themselves in the labor field. The National Council for Research on Women are working towards the advancement of colored women being able to uphold a higher position. The women being oppressed by males, people of color, and society deserve to allow themselves to the same entitlement everyone else is given in the workforce. By mid-century, people of color are expected to make up fifty percent of society also making it more necessary to allow people of diversity to be given the same advantages. This problem revolves around diversity and the only way to solve it is through the change of personal opinions and acknowledging what women of color can and have already accomplished.
