Being a woman in the years of 1715’s was not easy. A woman was to clean, cock, feed and all that had to do with house cleaning but never to have the same rights as a man. Thanks to brave women, today women have the same rights as men, but some men, women should not come out of their house and have to be cleaning! March is women history month; my blog today will be about women that are discriminated. I will talk a little bit about women’s history before we got equal rights as men, I will also talk about some experiences and my point of view. Hilary Clinton made history in the U.S. because she was the first woman to run as democrat in 2008.
Much more women made history, for example let’s go back to the 1920’s Carrie Lane Chapman Catt. Carrie Lane Chapman Catt was the women that fought for the nineteenth amendment to pass. This amendment passed on August 26, 1920. Another women that made history was Elizabeth Cady Stanton, this woman wrote and read the Declaration of sentiments, which was modeled on the Declaration of Independence. Many more women made history for fighting for their rights. Some women are being discriminated but do not talk, because they are scared not to be heard. In my experience I have seen women that are discriminated at the streets, work and their own houses. In Mexico, women that are discriminated is a really commen, women are even beaten to the point of being killed. In one of my experiences I had a friend that was discriminated by her own father and after by her own husband. She was always to be in her house, cleaning never to go to parties, not even to go to the store if she needed something not even to have any friends. All she did was bow her face to her father, when she got married it was no difference because her father picked a husband for her. She was unhappy but never spoke to authorities, only to me because we would see each other when her father or husband were gone I told her all her rights, I also told her about all the women that had made history, but she didn’t listen to me. Until one day, she was beaten to the point that she was about to die. I helped her to report her husband and father to the authorities. All women have the right to vote, work and to be treated equally as a man. All women that are discriminated should talk and never be quiet. Break the silence and stop discrimination. Other women have done it, why shouldn’t you break it!!!
