Women & Challenges

Hey everyone !

I'm writting this message to introduce the topic of the 3rd trimester which is about Women And Challenges ! As you know, a few days ago women didn't have the same rights as today. I mean that they were not allowed to do the same things they do nowadays ! For exemple, in the past women had to look after children, cook, do the housework, they couldn't work, vote etc. They actually were housewives ! And if they managed to earn a bit of money, they had to give everything to their husband. Men were like the bosses, they did what they wanted and considered women as a second class citizen. 

But, fortunately some women reacted to this situation. It was like a form of rebellion. They fought for gender equality by marching against women's position and managed to extend women's rights.  

Let me introduce one women who fought for equality (there are some other !) ! 

Emmeline Pankhurst (born Emmeline Goulden) (15 July 1858 – 14 June 1928) was a British political activist and leader of the British suffragette movement which helped women win the right to vote.

Now, let's move on nowadays !

Women reached the same rights as men, they can vote, work, use their money, express themsleves, they also can be a president or a queen ! 

But some differencies are still here. For exemple, in private jobs women are less paid than men and they still do more in the house like coocking, housekeeping etc. But a lot of men help their wife and women don't depend on men anymore, they are totally independent and they do what they want.
