On election day in 1920 millions of women exercised their right to vote for the first time. Most people during this time period saw women as less intelligent when it came to political decisions.

At the turn of the 19th century, feminism, or the women rights movement, gradually began to become more popular among women. Kate Chopin, in her work, “The Awakening”, masterfully demonstrates her views concerning feminism through her protagonist, Edna Pontellier. “The Awakening”, set in Louisiana during…

they had no rights, and were at the mercy of the law. The women in The Handmaid’s Tale are dressed for similar reasons: they are constantly reminded they have no rights, they are established in a particular social class they cannot break out of, and they have lost all control, even for something so simple as picking clothing to wear. These real life applications and parallels in The Handmaid’s Tale not only make the story more relevant, but also show that it, as a dystopian future, is far more…

The Human Rights of Disabled People in Indonesia is Still Far from Satisfactory According to the Oxford dictionary, the definition of human rights is the basic right of freedom, equality, justice, etc. Over the past decade, attention to human rights in Indonesia has been improving.

To illustrate this, Cohen provided an example about his dog. Many humans have obligations, and in this example Cohen’s obligation is to take his dog to the vet and take it on walks, because the dog is not able to take itself to the vet or have the right to do its daily exercise on his or her own. In Singer’s argument about animals,…

‘Parliamentary sovereignty is a constitutional relic. It has been rendered obsolete, in particular, by the supremacy of EU law and the UK’s statutory recognition of human rights. We should no longer talk about this irrelevant doctrine.’ Parliamentary sovereignty is a principle of the UK constitution, it is legislated by the House of Commons, House of Lords and the Queen; it is usually perceived as the most important aspect of the UK constitution, “The supremacy of Parliament is the…

Malala Yousafzai, female activist, human rights spokeswoman, and a normal girl who enjoys quality time with her siblings, is known for her human rights advocacy for the education of women and children in Northern Pakistan, where the local Taliban banned girls from attending school, to limited their rights little by little. Malala was only 10 years old when the Taliban dominated her region and influenced her people through the use of Islam in a very drab, murky way. She was taught to stand up for…

(Boundless) As an American woman I am aware of the treatment of women in today’s American society, and in this paper I shall look back at past accomplishments of women attempting to create fairness and freedom for women as a whole.
