medieval Europe, women were denied the right to own property, to study, or to participate in public life At the end of the 19 th century in France, women were still compelled to cover their heads in public, and, in parts of Germany, a husband still had the right to sell his wife Even as late as the early 20th century, women in the United States could neither vote nor hold elective office Women were prevented from conducting business without a male representative who might be their fathers, brothers, husbands, legal agents, or even sons Married women could not exercise control over their own children without the permission of their husbands Moreover, women had little or no access to education and were barred from most professions Women have always had lower status than men, but the extent of the gap between sexes varies across cultures and time In 1980, the U.N summed up the burden of this inequality: women comprise half of the world’s population, two thirds of the world’s work, but earn one tenth of the world’s income, and own one hundredth of the world’s property Women in the U.S., however, have joined together to create the so-called “Women’s Liberation Movement.” Thanks to the development of effective birth-control methods and of mechanized labor-saving devices for the home, women have more freedom in life Their role in society on that women should have a bigger role than what was thought they should have Women have made vast improvements in their lifestyles They are holding high positions in governments, universities and businesses Without women, a man wouldn’t
