However

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
Linking Words
essay will discuss how the position of
women
Use synonyms
changed in the
world
Use synonyms
and will bring a few points to clarify my point of view.
Firstly
Linking Words
, all through history
women
Use synonyms
were seen as objects for
men
Use synonyms
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
Use synonyms
around the
world
Use synonyms
,
this

idea began to
change
Use synonyms
and females started to have a life of their own, they can do things that were only allowed for
men
Use synonyms
,
such
Linking Words
as having a proper job, driving, choosing not to marry and not to have children, going places for themselves and not for
men
Use synonyms
. The things those strong-minded
women
Use synonyms
conquered paved the way for many generations to come and continue to do the work until there is equality.
Nevertheless

, as much
change

women
Use synonyms
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
Use synonyms
and
women
Use synonyms
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
Use synonyms
and to be seen as equal to all those
men
Use synonyms
, she has to work quadruple as hard. And even
then
Linking Words
, she is still treated differently at the table. From my point of view, it doesn't matter how much
women
Use synonyms
try to
change
Use synonyms
the
world
Use synonyms
and find their place, if
men
Use synonyms
don't want to
change
Use synonyms
and see
women
Use synonyms
as equal, there will always be challenges that
women
Use synonyms
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.
