    Women's rights and treatment have improved significantly over time but still have progress to be made. In the past, women had very few legal rights, were typically confined to domestic duties, and faced many restrictions. Now, women have more opportunities and legal protections, such as the ability to work, own property, get an education, and apply for loans independently. However, women still face discrimination and inequality in areas like pay and certain social restrictions. Overall, the status and empowerment of women has advanced greatly from the past but will continue developing towards full equality and respect.

    -The way women were treated and women’s rights -

    Back in the old times women were treated very poorly, having almost no rights at
    all.
    In the 1920s, women typically stayed at home Jane Austen was the first women writer that
    and cared for the house and children while the has ever addressed the problems that women
    husband was away at work. If they did have a have dealt with in the past. In her books she

    secretary, nurse or seamstress. struggle of not being to own or inherit

    Around 60 years ago, women were not proper education, unless they came from a

    own name or loan application realistic and having opinions and not just
    • Work in civil service or legal profession
    being housewifes.
    • Inherit property like men
    • Claim equal pay
    Some of her most loved books
    are “Pride and Prejudice”,
    “Emma”, “Sense and
    Sensibility”.
    In 1955, Housekeeping Monthly released “The Good Wife’s Guide” – something that would be
    immediately shutdown in today’s world. Some of their tips read as followed:

    “Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready on time for
    his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him and are
    concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they get home and the prospect of a good
    meal is part of the warm welcome needed.”

    “Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you’ll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your
    make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary
    people.”

    “Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is
    not the time. Let him talk first – remember, his topics of conversation are more important than
    yours.”-it was automatically implied that man’s opinions are more important than women’s

    “Don’t ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. Remember, he is
    the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You
    have no right to question him.”
    There are big differences between women of the past and women of today. We are not in the
    perfect place and there are a lot more changes that have to be made. Yes, women today have
    more rights, are able to get jobs or occupy higher positions in society. However, women are still
    not treated as equals and are still victims of sexism and discrimination.
    EQUAL PAY

    Globally, the gender pay gap stands


    at 16%, meaning women workers
    earn an average of 84% of what men
    earn. For women of colour, immigrant
    women, and women with children, the
    In Saudi Arabia, difference is even greater.

    were not allowed to the first female vice-president of the
    drive cars. U.S. Angela Merkel, the first female
    canceler in Germany. We have female
    presidents, CEOs or surgeons.
