For a very long time, the voting rights of the citizens have been a problem in the US. It started out with only men with land being able to vote, and then expanded to white men, and then to all men. However, women were never in the situation, they were disregarded and believed to not be worthy enough to have the same rights as men. They were essentially being treated as property, therefore having no rights. But, in Susan B.

Women were to Under this thought process, women were “designed exclusively” to be good wives and mothers. Women were expected to be seen and not heard.

Their needs and desires are ignored and are considered less important than men. When the Talibans came, men’s needs are prioritized while women are left behind. According to Hosseini (2007), “ Women are forbidden from working”(p.298). This shows that men are given the privilege to go to work and earn money to support their families and themselves while girls are debarred from getting a job whether they like it or not as the Talibans think that women are of the weaker sex and are not capable of doing anything that helps contribute to the society.

Based on if you were a woman or a person of color the laws and promises of a free country did not apply. It was unfair that the color of their skin or if they were women determine what rights they had. They were divided into a nation that was supposed to bring people together as one.
