Al Capone was a notorious American gangster who turned organized crime into a national business operation during the 1920s Prohibition era.

Capone innovated the use of modern technology and business tactics to eliminate competition and ensure efficient bootlegging operations. He also gained protection through bribing police and politicians, establishing a secure base in Cicero, Illinois where he faced little law enforcement intervention. While the public both admired and feared Capone, his criminal empire indirectly contributed to the repeal of Prohibition.

Lily Allen's song "Hard Out Here" critiques the phenomenon of "raunch culture" described by Ariel Levy, where female sexuality is highly sexualized and objectified. Allen uses imagery from popular music videos by Rihanna, Beyonce, Miley Cyrus, and Robin Thicke in her own video to illustrate how women are portrayed in stereotypical and slutty ways. She suggests these artists are conforming to objectifying standards of female sexuality promoted by the music industry.
Ariel Levy critiques today's "raunch culture" where women are highly sexualized and objectify themselves. According to Levy, this culture has penetrated many spheres and is no longer confined to just the male perspective. Lily Allen's song "Hard Out Here" mocks this culture by mimicking and parodying the sexualized dances and imagery in many contemporary pop music videos, such as Miley Cyrus' twerking, Rihanna pouring champagne on herself, and Robin Thicke using balloons to reference his genitals. The video critiques how these music videos promote slutty and stereotypical portrayals of female sexuality.

By the early 1900s, most western countries had granted universal male suffrage. The women's suffrage movement in Canada worked to expand voting rights to women as well. Key organizations in the late 19th century promoted women's issues and social reform. World War 1 influenced expanding voting rights, first to women related to soldiers, then all female citizens over 21 for federal elections by 1918. The Persons Case decision of 1929 declared that women were eligible for political office. Continued advocacy led to greater social and economic opportunities for women in the post-war period and beyond.
The Women's Suffrage Movement began in 1848 at a tea party where Elizabeth Cady Stanton expressed her discontent with the fact that voting rights were limited only to white male property owners. This led to the first Women's Rights Convention being held in Seneca Falls, New York that same year. The movement faced significant backlash from newspapers and critics who felt women should not have the right to vote. Key figures like Susan B. Anthony and Sojourner Truth campaigned tirelessly over decades to raise awareness and support for women's suffrage, culminating in the passage and ratification of the 19th amendment in 1920, which guaranteed all American women the right to vote.

Additionally, the National Commission on the Status of Women was established in 2000 to promote women's rights and development. Nonetheless, crimes targeting women like honor killings, acid attacks, and abductions still occur.
