Women's Oppression in the U.S.A

   Women in America fought to have the right to vote. They finally had the chance to vote in August 26,1920. After women finally had the right to vote they started to be discriminated. Since women started becoming more independent men started to treat women different. It was thought that women were inferior to men, but in reality they are wrong, we are all equal. Women were not only discriminated but they were and still are physically and emotionally abused. I dare to think that women never expected to live this episode of life.

This photograph shows how women never gave up.
   Women are oppressed every single day, its at work place or at home they were still oppressed. In women's workplace they are forced to have a low paying and it wasn't a job that had a high payment, it was an unskilled job. Feminist never stop working, they leave their work to get home and face another time of oppression. they had to take care of the food for their kids and husband and if it wasn't enough, what men wanted, they take it to another level, face violence. Thousands of women were raped or beaten up. It was thought that women were not equal to men and today it is still thought that way. It is said that women are biologically inferior than men. Do you really believe that? There is no evidence for men to think that women are inferior than men. By giving women the worst job with low wages and no job security caused women's oppression. Bosses believe that paying women low wages is fair because men were the main bread. Since women had low wages they tend to depend on men and it was even worst when the abuse. Sexist idea had spread because of the media; newspaper, television, books, radio, and advertisements. the media promoted very hateful ideas about women and images of them. work men believed those hateful ideas about women told by the ruling class. People say that women must accept their inferior position because it is part of their culture. Women have the right for liberation, to shape, and change culture were ever they belong.

   Women struggled to have the right to vote. They finally had that chance on August 26,1920, but as soon as they had that chance they were discriminated a lot by men. Women had become more independent and because of that men had treated women like if they were not worth it. Today discrimination over women has not ended. Women were physically and emotionally abused, (this is still today). Many men say that women are worst than men, but who really caused that? Men did.
