=Emmeline Pankhurst=

Emmeline Pankhurst was born the 15th July 1858. She was a British political activist and leader of the British suffragette movement who helped women win the right to vote. Many people criticised her militant tactics, historians disagree about their effectiveness, but her work is recognised as a crucial element in achieving women's suffrage in Britain.

Pankhurst was introduced at the age of 8 to the women's suffrage movement.

In 1903, five years after her husband died, Pankhurst founded the [|Women's Social and Political Union] (WSPU), an all-women suffrage advocacy organization dedicated to "deeds, not words."



=Anne Frank=

During her stay in Netherlands while hiding from the German forces, Anne Frank, a young jewish girl, was gifted a diary by her father when she was 13. However, her diary was published after her death in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp at the age of 15. The diary served as a unique eye-witness account of life during Holocaust (mass murder of approximately six million Jews during World War II) and it became one of the world's most read books.

=The role of women in society and politics:=

The role of women in society and economy is different than the one they played a century ago.

Since the early years in the Twentieth Century women won the right to vote, as a first step to later take positions in the society playing the same roles as men.

So, today women attend Universities and work as professionals in as much areas as men. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of women in the top positions as Goverments Presidents, Ministers, Chiefs, Executives, and so for.

Women are nowadays a very important workforce in several areas as Education, Health, Justice, Research and others, they are reaching the highest positions.

For example, since the Noble Price obtained by Madame Curie (she obtained two of them, one together with her husband and another alone) until today, many women are working in the most advanced areas of knowledge.

The role of women nowadays in society, politics, economy and in general all areas of activity is much more important than in the past. Nevertheless, we have to distinguish between the so called first world (or developed countries) and the developing countries (formerly called third world).

Women in Europe, North America and Australia play a role similar to men, even though they have to fight for several rights that are not reached yet as, for example, the same salary for the same work or the same opportunities in the professional arena to make a career.



But in poor countries many women still suffer from a lack of access to education and they are forced to marry or to work for the family instead of developing themselves. Women and children are who suffer more when there are few resources or money.



So, women in the richest countries that work in the same conditions than men (or almost), or women that hold positions with responsibilities in Governments, Administrations and enterprises, should remember that they have to fight also to try to improve the conditions of women with less resources. Regarding education, currently the percentage in the European Union of women with a university degree is higher than men, but it is much lower the percentage of women in manager and executive positions at work. So, we could say that still there exist a gap between the potential role that women can play and the role that currently they have in society. Also the women unemployment is very high in Spain in comparison with other countries. To change this situation is a responsibility of the whole society. Let’s start working for the change.



Women’s role and responsibilities will increase in the future as they have more experience and the same opportunities as men to develop their personal and professional lives.

Regarding Politics, in the European Union there are several Prime Minister (the most famous is Angela Merkel in Germany, but also is Helle Thorning-Schmidt In Denmark and Laimdota Straujuma in Latvia), but we can still find cases as the last Greek Government that has no woman in it. It sound very strange because nowadays there are many well prepared women in every country of the European Union.

= Education for girls =

Educational aspirations were on the rise and were becoming increasingly institutionalized in order to supply the church and state with the functionaries to serve as their future administrators.

Girls were schooled too,but not to assume political responsibility.Girls were ineligible for leadership positions and were generally considered to have an inferior intellect to their brothers. France had many small local schools where working-class children - both boys and girls - learned to read, the better "to know,love and serve God."

The sons and daughters of the noble and bourgeois elites were given gender-specific educations: boys were sent to upper school, perhaps a university, while their sisters - if they were lucky enough to leave the house - would be sent to board at a convent with a vague curriculum. The Enligtenmt challenged this model, but no real alternative was presented for female education.Only through education at home were knowledgeable women formed, usually to the sole end of dazzling their salons.

= Women Changing The World: =

=Margaret Mbatia=

=Muna AbuSulayman=

Saudi Arabia’s Muna AbuSulayman is best known for founding and co-hosting Kalam Nawaem, one of the Arab world’s most popular TV shows.A one-hour show hosted by women, Kalam Nawaem is credited with pushing social boundaries on Arab television, discussing controversial topics such as homosexuality, gender equality, sexual harassment and divorce.

//**"A lot has been accomplished to close the gap in gender inequality, a lot of research has been carried out to look at how stereotypes still operate on an almost subconscious level‎. Yet women still lag behind in income parity, opportunities for promotion and the ability to tap into government resources to balance home and work duties. I look forward to the day when all those issues are no longer topics of conversation, seminars and studies."**//

=Group Article: The Women in Society=

The women occupies a central place in society. In some cases the woman was taken like something below the man. The role of women in society changes depending in the profession in which they work. Nowadays, the women at a global level, is not only mother or wife, it also occupies a laboral role,at a political or social level. Man as woman must continue adapting to obtain an equality between them, in laboral, economical and social levels.



Women are already a very important workforce in several areas as Education, Health, Justice, Research and others, they are reaching the highest positions. For example, since the Noble Price obtained by Madame Curie (she obtained two of them, one together with her husband and another alone) until today, many women are working in the most advanced areas of knowledge. Science was a territory which only men could participate in, but there are lots of women scientist in the history of the world, as Maria Mitchell who was an astronomer. In 1847, she was the first person in document the crossing of a comet, and she was also the first astronomy teacher.

Currently there are also women playing an important role in economy, politics, etc. For example, in economy we have the President of Banco Santander (Ana María Botín), The President of International Monetary Found (Christine Lagarde), The President of Federal Reserve in USA (Janet Yellen).

Regarding Politics, in the European Union there are several Prime Minister (the most famous is Angela Merkel in Germany, but also is Helle Thorning-Schmidt In Denmark and Laimdota Straujuma in Latvia), but we can still find cases as the last Greek Government that has no woman in it. It sound very strange because nowadays there are many well prepared women in every country of the European Union.

Nevertheless, we have to distinguish between the so called first world (or developed countries) and the developing countries (formerly called third world) In some places in the world (namely in Europe, North America and Australia, for example) women currently play a role similar to men, even though they have to fight for several rights that are not reached yet as, for example, the same salary for the same work or the same opportunities in the professional arena to make a career. We could say that in these cases women are closer to the objectives after several decades of fighting for their rights.

But in poor countries many women still suffer from a lack of access to education that is the first and most important objective to reach. Beside this lack of education, sometimes they are also forced to marry or to work for the family instead of developing themselves. The consequence is that women and children are who suffer more when there are few resources or money.

So, women in the richest countries that work in the same conditions than men (or almost), or women that hold positions with responsibilities in Governments, Administrations and enterprises, should remember that they have to fight also to try to improve the conditions of women all around the world with less resources.

So, we could say that still there exist a gap between the potential role that women can play and the role that currently they have in society. Also the women unemployment is very high in Spain in comparison with other countries. To change this situation is a responsibility of the whole society. Let’s start working for the change.

=Ainhoa Parra´s Personal Article=

At the beginning of the times the women had work very hard to change the different social positions that have women and men in society which produce a inequality.

The iquality is equivalent when having the same values in the sense of not been considered below or on top of the other. The Roles established the different expectations for women and men which set the diference in respect of how to be, how to feel and how to act.

As a consequence of this roles the stereotypes appear, which are preconceive ideas about women and men.

The society where we live "requires" that the women must continue improving herself day by day. Reaching a personal, laboral, social...welfare. There are many women that could get their aims in politics, heading a country, occuping important positions on big enterprices...

Like what Marie Curie said:



"Life is not easy, for anyone.But...¡It doesn´t matter! We have to preserve and, overcoat, have confidence in itself"

=**Ángela Torres' Personal Article**=

The role of women in society and economy is different than the one they played a century ago, and of course much more different in previous centuries. We are living in the XXI century and we must realize that the role of women nowadays in society, politics, economics and in general all areas of activity is much more important than in the past. Women deserve to be, at least, as important as men in all these areas. One thing we should not forget is that women have been fighting for their rights and they still fight restless. In this fight it was very important what happened at the begging of the last century. Since the early years in the Twentieth Century women won the right to vote (not all around the world), as a very important first step ahead to later take positions in the society playing the same roles as men. It has been a long path until now, and still there are many things to do. Today, women attend Universities get their degrees and work as professionals in as much areas as men. Regarding education, currently the percentage in the European Union of women with a university degree is higher than men, but, on the contrary, it is still much lower the percentage of women in manager and executive positions at work. That is to say, there is still a lack of women in the top positions as Governments Presidencies, Ministers, Chief Executives, and so for. May be in the near future things will change when women with a long professional career will be appointed to those position that nowadays seems to be reserved to men (just because those positions are reserved to professional with a long career and most women started to have a professional career not many years ago). Women’s role and responsibilities will increase in the future as they have more experience and the same opportunities as men to develop their personal and professional lives. =Wiktoria Rolewicz's Personal Article=

Women had always been housewife and had been controlled by the men. They were who had to look after the members of the family, who had to cook, clean and do all the household chores.

But one day, women decided to revolt against the men and the goverment to obtain the same rights as a men. Nowadays, women have almost obatain all the rights, but there is a lot of unfullfilment of the laws. There is a right which sais everyone have to be paid with the same salary that the others that do the same work, but this right isn't fullfield in a lot of jobs. Normally, women obtain a 17% less that a men at the same job.

Some countries have more rights for women, although there are a lot of countries that use the woman as an object or a slave. For example, in India, there are girls that have to sell their own body for sexual objectives to receive money and be able to buy some food or necesities. In muslim countries, women are treated as objects, as they are always control by a man and they have to cover their bodies with long vestments.
