It is always thought that women are the second class in the citizen, and men are the first. There is not real

equality of opportunity for men and women. Years ago, people were living in a man-dominated society. Women
had to obey their husbands and fathers absolutely. Women's place was in the kitchen and women's work was
household. In many places, women were not even allowed to go to school. Women had no rights, even the right to
choose a husband for themselves. Men usually occupied high positions in society so they thought they were more
Intelligent and important than women. Men considered women their property. Sometimes, women were
mistreated by their husbands and suffered this as a fate. Many parents did not even want to have female children.
Thanks to the women's liberation movement, women have nowadays proved that they are equal to men on every
aspect. An average woman has weaker muscles than an average man but she may be as intelligent as him. Women
can do everything that men can, and women can do one thing that no man can: they produce children.
