Women's rights

This blog talks about women's rights. I personally chose to do my blog on women's rights because women are abused and mistreated in most places around the world. Women aren't allowed, in most countries, to do certain things that men can do. Such as getting education. In most undeveloped countries women aren't allowed to go to school which results to giving birth at young age and they forget that education is one of the most powerful things than can change the world. In some places, women cannot ride cars or even own a businesses.Also women are mostly excluded when it came to politics. During the whole nineteenth century women had to right to vote.(http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/womensrights.htm ).

Back then women could only be house wives. I'm very interested in this topic because it is something that still exists in the most countries in the world. I think that women all should be treated equally as men because they are as smart as them and can most certainly work as hard as them . Women shouldn't be getting paid less money on the same job as men or  be stopped to become what they want to become in  life just because of their gender.

                                                                                 

Interesting Fact
The first women’s right convention was held in Seneca Falls, in 1848. At that time, women did not vote, hold elective office, divorce an abusive husband, attend college or earn a living. They were mostly treated like beings and not human beings. It was then that five women who organised the First Women’s Rights Convention, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, Martha Wright, Mary Ann M'Clintock, and Jane Hunt.
