Women

Step by step women have got small goals for thousand years. Luckily things have changed since women collected wild fruits and were dragged by their hair in the caverns.

At the beginning of the 20th century women couldn’t go abroad or rent a flat by themselves unless their husbands gave them permission. Moreover, if they were hit by their husbands, shut in by their parents or if they were mistreated, they couldn’t report these facts to the police because there weren’t laws to protect women from them. Thanks to Clara Campoamor, Spanish women can vote since 1931. Little by little, the government was creating more laws to women advantage. That was a big aim for them.

Nowadays, things are better for women. According to the Law, men and women are equal. There are a lot of lawyers, judges and ministers who are women, but there are some problems that they and society must solve, take the case of women who are killed by their partners. Women’s education is another problem to solve, in fact, women education is a burden at most of the cases so it should be changed if women want to achieve all their aims. Furthermore, people prefer women to do some jobs and not to do other ones, and if they are immigrants they’ll earn less money.

In conclusion, things are changing for women now but women have to keep trying because there are other things that they need still change. If they go on and never give up, they will get their goals and there will be a better future.
