The Contract is a narrative poem of exactly what our grandmothers did a century ago to make men's and women's rights equal. The poem is a conversation between a college-age girl and her mother about the opportunities in life for women. The daughter laments that the boys “have it made” and women are simply second-class citizens. The mother replies that this is not true; everyone has an equal opportunity at success—but you have to work for that success. Further, says the mother, you, the daughter, have a contract with your grandmothers and great grandmothers. They went to the wall for you, the mother says. They marched and went to jail to give you an equal shot with men in the workplace. They opened the door for you. What you make of yourself in this world is now up to you. Your grandmothers and great grandmothers made it possible for you to be a success—now you have to do the hard work.

Steve Levi, a freelance commercial and technical writer, live in Alaska. He has more than 90 published books. Levi concentrates on two subjects: history and the impossible crime. In both areas his motto is the same: "If you do not have something unique, you have nothing." History, as presented in The Contract, is not the story of the past-It is the study of the future. The Contract presents the reader with a specific description of how the 19th Amendment affects young women of today. A century ago, our grandmothers visualized their granddaughters voting and working alongside men as paid equals, serving on juries, being elected to city assemblies, sitting as state legislators, senators and eventually presidents of the United States.
