Abstract
This paper describes the women’s status in the USA from three points: 1.women’s rights in education; 2.women’s rights in politics; and 3.women in economic field. And it discusses why American women can improve their status. There are two main reasons: one is the exterior cause (such as capitalist productive force, bourgeois ideology; the efforts of the government and non-government organizations; the guide from some literary work), and another is the interior cause (women’s self-awareness; women’s emancipation movement and help from education). On the contrary, women in other countries are in unfavorable conditions. This paper discusses why they fall behind and how to change this condition.

摘 要
本篇论文主要从三个方面描述了美国妇女的地位:1.妇女在教育上的权利;2.妇女在政治上的权利;3.妇女在经济领域的成就。本文讨论了美国妇女能够提高她们的社会地位的主要原因。第一是外部原因,例如资本主义生产力的大发展,资本主义思想的传播;政府和非官方组织的努力，以及文学作品的指引。第二是其自身的原因，如自我意识的觉醒，妇女解放运动的影响和教育的作用。相反，其他大多数国家妇女的地位却是很低的。本文旨在讨论为什么她们的地位提高不明显，以及要解决这个问题，应该采取何种措施。
