Moreover, they make up names for other women who are against modern feminism “internal misogyny,” they say. As feminists are they not supposed to be proud of strong independent women freely speaking their minds? The word “feminist” has become tainted and toxic by their vile actions. As a matter of fact, in Africa, women are profoundly persecuted, and as a female Tanzanian I witness and experience these discriminations daily in my community. Nevertheless, I do not engage myself in nonsensical arguments belittling men, even though it is my gender that is experiencing the repulsive inequality constantly in many aspects of life.

The Reconstruction Era occurred in 1865, it was was a period after the Civil War in which America was focused on rebuilding the broken South. In 1867, the Radical reconstruction gave former slaves a voice in government. During this era, formers slaves gained a platform in the government, with some blacks as Congressmen. However, not everyone supported the idea of Reconstruction. Less than a decade after the Reconstruction period, a small group composed of democratic ex-confederate veterans, white farmers and white southerners sympathetic to white supremacy joined forces together to form the Ku Klux Klan.

Throughout American history, women have requested and demanded to achieve recognition for having the same legitimacy as men. Naturally born rights, such as access to equal education, and the right to speak out in public were denied to females. Perhaps, the most powerful right they were denied was the right to vote. Though women were considered inferior and given limited roles in society, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Carry Nation played a crucial role in the movement for women’s rights. Women did not achieve this right immediately, but that did not stop them from fighting.

Contrary to what Aristotle thought women’s role to be in society which was not a primary role as a citizen but a supportive one (58), women and children played a massive role in Algerians’ fight for independence. Without them, it could be argued, that they could not have been able to achieve independence. Hence, different perception of the citizenship leads to different assumptions of citizen rights. Not only this, but depending on how strong the beliefs of one being a citizen possessing certain rights are, the others can be overshadowed and overcome by them. In this example, Algerians’ strong belief of their citizenship did not help them capitulate and they kept fighting for independence until they finally gained independence from others – the French.

A shelter is not enough because it does not give the person, in this case the abused woman freedom to take control of their own lives. They are already seeking help from being controlled and abused and if they are told “THIS IS THE ONLY WAY” they may not want to seek help because they are already abused by being controlled.

In the Ibo hierarchal society, women are the subject of unequal treatment and patronization. They are considered weak and are not given any power. As the novel, Things Fall Apart unravels, the author, Chinua Achebe reveals the distinct attributes of femininity. Feminine traits are also viewed with disdain in Umuofian society, especially by the protagonist of the novel, Okonkwo. His past experiences shape his disposition and give rise to his stereotypical mentality; however, several events contradict the prevalent perspective of women, leading to Okonkwo facing conflicts within himself.

The oppression of women is evident throughout all of the 19th century. From household duties to health issues, women received unfair treatment. Women were seen as inferior and treacherous and therefore, were not trusted to make decisions for themselves. This resulted in women being placed in mental institutions when they did not behave in ways that the male society agreed with. After being placed in the hospitals, the unfair treatment continued to affect the women.

Women also face unequal opportunity and treatment. In most world history, the man has been the leader and the woman, the follower. Men are more greatly respected and thought highly of. During the 18th century at the time of The Declaration of Independence the inferior attitude toward women was prevalent. Historian Mary Beth Norton wrote about treatment of women in this time period in the book, Liberty’s Daughters.

I am WOMAN, hear me ROAR; the phrase women have been screaming since the beginning of time! The inequality of women is fundamentally out of sorts and despite improvements over the last 100 years, there’s far more work and acceptance that needs to be obtained before women have true equality in all aspects of their lives. In this paper, I will show how women incur inequalities in just about every aspect of their lives today, even after we have proven that we are more than equal to our counterparts. I will compare and contrast the inequalities of women in the Southern Baptist and Northern Baptist denominations of Christianity and then Liberal and Orthodox Jews. My initial conclusion is that women like other minorities will continually have

In the 1960’s, the women's population of how many worked outside of their house had been 35%. Also in the 1960’s, the work force women had increased by 6 percent since 1950 and had become 35%. Women’s employment with children who had gone to school had also increased. Women who had children who were preschoolers had been a major influence in work because ⅓ of them were working outside their house. Also, 40% of women with children ages six to seventeen years old had been working outside of their house.

There are seven billion people on the earth each yet each and every one of us have our own personal identity. We all possess different qualities that make us who we are. Our personal identity helps to determine our morals, core- values, self-esteem and behavior. If we did not have a sense of who we are, we would be nothing more than lost souls wandering the earth with no sense of purpose. For centuries, human societies have assigned certain roles, characteristic traits and expectations to women.
