JE65 You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby

            Women’s right had been abused and happened in different periods and places in history. In the 1890s in America, women were trying to gain power and rights. But due to the lack of education and narrow-minds, women were not able to live the lives they wanted to and had to live under parent’s expectations. In the modern society, women have the same education just as men do. When they graduate from schools, they are able to find their own jobs in the society. Now, many women earn more than men do. For example, the CEO of HTC is a Taiwanese woman. Also, many famous magazine editors are women. Women in modern societies have equal opportunities as men do, and sometimes even more favored in some particular occupations. However, in Chinese society, some people still had the old-fashioned idea and believed that women should stay home and take care of children. In a more extreme way, some even prefer boys than girls because they believe men have more potential to succeed in the society. And in other less developed countries, women’s rights are not equal as men’s rights. Having equal rights is an important issue throughout history and is what we are still trying to reach today.
