Summary Of Worlds Together Worlds Apart

INTRODUCTION: Do you see the difference between the male and female population? There is a little difference today, such as the amount of income between the two and how some jobs/activities are men orientated. As of today we tend to view men and women equally then people did in the past. In chapter eighteen of Worlds Together, Worlds Apart, I chose to write about three of the four documents which are all written by female activists.

After talking about the distortion of female feet, Jin then explains how a girl 's life is basically in the hands of a matchmaker. These matchmakers would often pair a couple so that one would be able to gain riches, so it was not beneficial to the woman at all. During a wedding, the bride is to remain seated on a red and green bridal sedan chair and remain quiet throughout the ceremony. ☑ Similar to the first source "Ain 't I A Woman?" Jin brings up the fact that without women, men would not be born. She then ends it by telling people that they should allow men and child to be educated and study abroad so they can learn from other cultures and end this treatment towards
