Was it the same? Today.women goes to office, run businesses, organizations; join defense forces, politics, etc. etc.

She is taking part in almost every aspect, and doing her work very efficiently. Today, she votes..she has a right to choose the government for her nation..but was it same since always? The answer is Noit was not like this from the beginning. Women covered a hard and long path to get these rights, she own now. Yes, these rights are hers, but she was not allowed to use them. She had to justify herself to get the powers of those rights. She had to work really hard for her, for every woman. Did she (the revolutionary women) was our friend? No, but she fought for us, for every woman, living then, and every woman taking birth after her. The things were deep digged in the roots of mankind. This partial behavior is also rooted in our religions as in Catholicism -The Pope is only elected by the College of Cardinals. Women are not appointed as cardinals, so women cannot vote for the Popein Judaism--Women are denied the vote and the ability to be elected to positions of authority in many Orthodox Jewish synagogues and religious organizations and so on, different religions, different rulesall pointing on same thing, Women is not worth to vote

The things were really old but the story starts from mid 80s. The women were when considered as an object to hide and to protect. Men were the imagined shielder of women. She had no right to even argue with her men, demanding something was like an impossible thing. At that time, a strong wind of Women Suffrage started, also called Womens Rights Movement. This is the right of women to vote and to run for office. The struggle for women's suffrage in America began in the 1820s with the writings of Fanny Wright. In her book, Course of Popular Lectures (1829) and in the Free Enquirer Wright not only advocated women being given the vote but the abolition of slavery, free secular education, birth control and more liberal divorce laws. Wright received little support for her views and the next significant development did not take place until 1840 The seed for the first Woman's Rights Convention was planted in 1840, when Elizabeth Cady Stanton met Lucretia Mott at the World Anti-Slavery Convention in London, the conference that refused to seat Mott and other women delegates from America because of their sex. The first women's rights meeting in the United States held at Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848, itself followed several decades of a quietlyemerging egalitarian spirit among women.

In 1893, the British colony of New Zealand became the first self-governing nation to extend the right to vote to all adult women, and the women of the nearby colony of South Australia achieved the same right in 1895 but became the first to obtain also the right to stand (run) for Parliament. This sounds really easy, just reading the history and saying, what a revolutionary idea, what a courage to make it all happen in that condition. But yes, it was really a courageous movement started and successfully executed by women of THAT time for women of ALL time. Can you think of the time, when you and I had no right to say anything, we had no right to participate in any decision making process, we were treated as delicate objects, placed safely in the premises of 4 walls having a door on either one with no right to open it and go out. Can you imagine the agony of women and girls living in such situation. They were not even considered as Living. Some women refused to bear that situation and started a wave to demand and get rights to Live on their terms. Some people supported them in this rotation. But there were conflicts, they were supporting the idea of women rights but there was also a diversity of views on a 'woman's place'.

Some who campaigned for women's suffrage felt that women were naturally kinder, gentler, and more concerned about weaker members of society, especially children. It was often assumed that women voters would have a civilizing effect on politics and would tend to support controls on alcohol, for example. They[who?] believed that although a woman's place was in the home, she should be able to influence laws which impacted upon that home. Other campaigners felt that men and women should be equal in every way and that there was no such thing as a woman's 'natural role'. There were also differences in opinion about other voters. Some campaigners felt that all adults were entitled to a vote, whether rich or poor, male or female, and regardless of race. Others saw women's suffrage as a way of canceling out the votes of lower class or nonwhite men. Whatever the reason was, we were supported and Yes, we got right to vote, to work, to speak, to live as well. But there is still a class, struggling for the same rights, they are still living in same condition, in same agony and trying to help themselves, building a better niche for them and for the rest of the world. The most current ongoing movement for womens suffrage is in Saudi Arabia. The issue branches into the complicated role of modern Saudi women.

The suffrage movement started and executed successfully, but was it so easy? Definitely not, there were many hurdles in the path; one of them was the Anti suffrage. Anti-suffragism was a political movement composed mainly of women, begun in the late 19th century in order to campaign against women's suffrage in the United States and United Kingdom. It was closely associated with "domestic feminism", the belief that women had the right to complete freedom within the home. After the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, a coalition of anti-suffragists organized themselves into a political anti-feminist movement in order to "oppose expansion of social welfare programs, women's peace efforts, and to foster a political culture hostile to progressive female activists. They effectively blended anti-feminism and anti-radicalism by embracing and utilizing the hysteria of the post-World War I Red Scare." The war is still running..and will never end until the women stop opposing women. Until every women stand on same side this war will never end.
