Even though women were paid in low wages and given in least skilled jobs, they still wanted to go to factories to work. On the other hand, working in the factories helped women to establish their new image, they proved to all the men that they could do what men did and they could be independent. As a result, the number of working women increased by 25 percent (The Roaring Twenties, page 2).

Since women could work by themselves, they seldom went back home.
Education is the key factor for women’s empowerment, prosperity, development and welfare. Discrimination of women from womb to tomb is age old phenomena in most of the societies. There is continued inequality and vulnerability of women in all sectors and women oppressed in all spheres of life. They need to be empowered in all walks of life. In order to fight against the socially constructed gender biases, women have to fight against the system that requires more strength.

Aladeselu said ¨We empower women when we give them sense of self worth, treat them as equal humans as men, not as property that can be inherited, disposed off at will, not as a slave” (Women contribute a lot to to the society if empowered). This shows that women can be and want to be empowered to help society, but just because they are a girl they can’t.

With political and economic dominance came control in cultural and artistic areas as well. Men and women still don’t have equality everywhere in the world today, but thanks to the strong and independent women centuries ago, I have this. I am fortunate enough, to have an education, a bright working future ahead of me, and the right to vote and speak for myself. Us, women, have accomplished so many incredible things. With our experience and knowledge we have today, we can achieve much greater things and help attain balance and equality everywhere in the world like we have done in the past.
