The position of women has changed a great deal in many societies over the past 50 years. But these societies cannot claim to have achieved gender equality. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

have conquered many great obstacles all around the

world

to get to where we are today.

However

, in most places society still has much to go for gender equality. From my point of view,

women

have indeed come a long way, re-earning their rights, but I

also

agree that

women

are still not seen as equal to

men

.

This

essay will discuss how the position of

women

changed in the

world

and will bring a few points to clarify my point of view.

Firstly

, all through history

women

were seen as objects for

men

to use. Girls were raised to be wives, to be good and not to open their mouths. With much protest and hard work from many

women

around the

world

,

this

idea began to

change

and females started to have a life of their own, they can do things that were only allowed for

men

,

such

as having a proper job, driving, choosing not to marry and not to have children, going places for themselves and not for

men

. The things those strong-minded

women

conquered paved the way for many generations to come and continue to do the work until there is equality.

Nevertheless

, as much

change

women

have made throughout those 50 years, getting to speak up and find their place in society, it is clear that most countries still do not consider

men

and

women

as equals, females have to continually fight to be seen and taken as seriously. There is a tv show on Netflix called hierarquia that portrays

this

scenario where a woman works at a law firm with

men

and to be seen as equal to all those

men

, she has to work quadruple as hard. And even

then

, she is still treated differently at the table. From my point of view, it doesn't matter how much

women

try to

change

the

world

and find their place, if

men

don't want to

change

and see

women

as equal, there will always be challenges that

women

have to go through that males never will just to be viewed as the same. In conclusion, females have earned their equal place in society for years, and yet, still have to fight to be seen.
