Ch 22

Communist countries began to develop in the world and a lot of their effort went into liberating and mobilizing the woman of their countries. Eventually, western countries were influenced to do the same as well. Like in Russia, woman were declared full legal and politically equal to men. After many years of feminist activity, woman slowly were able to have the same rights as men did, like own their own land, divorce if they would like, and eventually have a say in government. Another topic that was wuite conterversial regarding women, was abortion. At the time, abortion was absolutely not allowed wether the woman wanted it or not. They eventually had a say of their own body and how they wanted to deal with a pregnancy. Woman had always had the image of being house-wifes and taking care of the children and the household while the man of the house worked. However, things slowly started to change slowly and when the Industrial Revolution hit, woman started working in the factories and bringing in income as well. Suddenly woman started being the educators of their children and played a more important role in society. Since the women, have being allowed and involved in everything men have this whole time.
